Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA dead pig can be found during the start of the Guadalcanal level. It was put in there as an inside team joke as the team had more rib dinners over the course of development than on any project.
- GoofsThe beginning of the game has Tommy Conlin being trained at Camp Pendleton Marine Boot Camp in 1940. Camp Pendleton was not used as a Marine Base until March 1942, after WWII already began. Marine recruits were all trained at Parris Island in South Carolina before 1942.
- Quotes
Tommy Conlin: [narrating] Three Week wonders; that's what we called the new guys. That's all the training they got and it wasn't enough. They usually didn't last very long. No matter how much training you got or how strong you are, when you strap up and step on a battlefield for the first time, it changes you forever. Tarawa was just another strip of sand out in the middle of nowhere, but for many of us it would be the last thing we ever saw.
Featured review
All in all, Pacific Assault was one of the best Medal of Honor games I've ever played and perhaps, one of the most realistic of its time.
The game could allow you to use the M1 rifle with a bayonet (very deadly too!) and for historical accuracy, I have no complaints save for the fact that the ship the player was in at the first level was actually badly damaged during the Pearh Harbour attack.
PA also contrasts differently to its predecessors. You can order your squad mates to advance, provide cover fire, retreat and rally up. Good thing you don't die automatically too (since there's more wounded than dead in war). Though I admit, fighting in jungles most of the time was a bit of a drag despite being set in the Pacific Theatre.
The dialogue is also fairly alright, your character, Tom Colin with his squad mates nearly all the time (since boot camp actually)and they sure do stand out quite well. Unfortunately, they're the only marines you'd survive with usually.
All in all, PA is a recommended game to play though in the harder levels, you just can't finish it!
