5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent war game
I'm addicted to this game! Great choice of weapons, challenging levels, very good graphics, excellent music that conveys danger. The "easy" and "medium" levels are quite challenging. I've played some missions over a hundred times trying to win on the "hard" level. Game is more realistic because on the hard level you can die with only a few hits, plus there are no med...

1.0 out of 5 stars This game should have a DNB sticker=Do Not Buy!!
This game is bad. The AI on it is terrible. The Japs take at least 3 seconds to shoot at you. The weapon selection is ok, but the selection isnt realstic. Annoying background music, stupid team mates, and levels are very much the same. These developers also make Vietnam Black Ops and World War II Normandy.

Normandy is better than this if you want the best one, both..are...

I'm addicted to this game! Great choice of weapons, challenging levels, very good graphics, excellent music that conveys danger. The "easy" and "medium" levels are quite challenging. I've played some missions over a hundred times trying to win on the "hard" level. Game is more realistic because on the hard level you can die with only a few hits, plus there are no med packs. Having soldiers with you on missions creates more room for strategy. Some soldiers are "dumb", that is they just stand there when you sneak up on them. However, many chase you down as soon as you get near them and the ones with machine guns will wipe you out in an instant. Very realistic game in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like this game a lot, June 12, 2004

This review is from: WW2: Iwo Jima (CD-ROM)
The reviewers seem to be divided as to whether or not this game is realistic. No video game ever made is realistic; geez. This game is however a lot of fun, especially for the cheap price of ten dollars. You definately get your money's worth and then some. Very addicttive! Basicly the other reviewers have said it all: 10 weapons, 12 missions, and AI that seems to be sometimes very intelligent and sometimes very stupid. Someone said it had stupid music. I couldn't disagree more. The music in this game is probobly one of its strongest points. It greatly adds to the atmosphere of the game, and is (I think) catchy. It's not the best first person shooter ever made of course, but I'm giving it five stars because for ten dollars, it's definately a five star game.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Pacific Theater FPS On The Market Now, July 19, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: WW2: Iwo Jima (CD-ROM)
This is a fun game. The graphics are OK.
The weapon selection is good. The AI is like most games (stupid).
On "hard" you can die with one or two hits. This is the best Pacific Theater FPS (until the Iwo Jima campaign in Battlefield 1942 puts it to shame). The reviewer "Daniel" obviously doesn't have a high IQ. I really like the comment he made about "bullets do to much damage to you". Also, "no ammo or health packs". He's a smart one! Sorry to burst his bubble, but in "real life" you don't see many "health packs" on the ground. By the way, MOHAA is not that realistic(i.e. If you shoot a Kraut with a M1 it takes 4 rounds in the chest to kill him).

1.0 out of 5 stars This is the second worse PC game next to SWAT 3, June 30, 2002
By 
Daniel (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WW2: Iwo Jima (CD-ROM)
This game [stinks]! The graphics are all blocked up, the flamethrower doesn't burn up the Japs good enough, the enemy and
allied AI is very stupid and if they do get a shot off at you, it
takes away about 40 health! On easy mode! You can't get any ammo
from your enemies and there isn't any health packs. If you want a
good war game, get Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the graphics are good and the AI is great, even though there's no blood. But WWII: Iwo Jima just doesn't cut it. Get Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Max Payne, Red Faction, or Resident Evil 3. But at least this isn't as bad as SWAT 3, I should've gotten Dracula instead.

Pros:
At least it's not as bad as SWAT 3

Cons:
Horrible graphics
Flamethrower hardly does ANY damage
Enemy AI is mentally retarted
Bullets do too much damage to you
No ammo or health packs
Bad voice acting
[bad] gameplay
Should be rated EH (extremely horrible)

Well, there you have it, this [stinks], get Medal of Honor instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars -One star. it sucks, November 22, 2002
By 
Daniel (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WW2: Iwo Jima (CD-ROM)
OK, I wrote a bad reveiw last time, but i'm not changing my mind,
its [terrible]. The game disgraces war games GOOD war games, like the
Medal of Honor series. I'm SO SORRY I wanted a game where you
had a chance at winnging. Anyway, this doesn't seem to realistic;
one guy can carry a Colt .45, garand rifle, shotgun, Thompson submachine gun flamethrower, hand grenades, land mines, AND a bazooka, WOW!! And you seem to be able to run extremely fast. Intresting . . .
What a great game . . . as good as my sarcasm.
Get MOHAA
