I am not good at Bass Fishing in real or in this Game. Definitely a me issue though, again both in real life and in the game. I gave it a real good collage try. But I just couldn't figure it out.

I was playing it on the Wii so idk if that makes a huge difference. In my mind motion controls in a fishing game is a no brainer but like I said couldn't for the life of me figure out how to catch some good Bass consistently.

Great presentation.

Not my jam but I don't think it's the games fault

I'm a big fan of the Medal of Honor Games and was excited to revisit this game for the first time since probably 2005ish.

When I was a kid I was blown away by the graphics and "realism". I never touched it again for almost 20 years.

Revisiting it I found a shooter the mechanically feels good. Controls are responsive. Shooting feels good, etc. it's ambitions and innovative. But it's short comings keep it from being great.

First major issue is that despite "feeling" good to control, the feeling of goodness is occasionally interrupted by an incredibly glitchy experience. Several times I'd be meleed to death through a wall. A enemy soldier would pop out of thin are and 1 shot me, my medic just wouldn't heal me and so on.

The graphics haven't aged great. And it's at this point where I'll make my biggest complaint. Despite the Medal of Honor series's bread and butter being Spielbergy alomst Bond ESC plots where 1 man basically wins the war, this game goes for an almost simulation approach.

An interesting idea but one that's not executed well.

I played on the realism mode. And what found incredibly frustrating is that for a realism mode it's not very realistic. I won't ding it to hard for that, cuz, y'know, 2004 game. But I was hoping for like enemies to drop after 1 bullet, I was hoping for things like suppressing fire to matter, and for ammo conservation to be a factor.

In reality, Realism mode is just harder mode.

This attempt at realism is ultimately the biggest hindrance on the game. Going back to graphics, Medal of Honor Frontline and Allied Assault have a slightly more stylized look and frankly hold up much better, this game went for a more realistic look and hasn't aged as gracefully.

Another ding in this game, again kinda tied into the realism approach. Is that the tone of the game is all over the place. It's honestly having a major identity crisis. It bounces from levels like Pearl Harbor and cut scenes with very "war is hell" dialogue and the bounces to the more traditional lighter Medal of Honor tone that feels more fun. It's very jarring.

The music is also very lacking. MoH has so many iconic tracks and in the rest of the franchise the music compliments the action super well. There is so much fucking silence in the game. Just gun fire and the glitchy pop in of airplane and jungle sounds.

The voice acting I will say however was top notch.

Weapon variety feels kinda lacking and frankly the only guns I found worth using were the Thompson, M1 Garand, Carbine and occasionally the Japanese sniper. The shot gun was possibly the most pathetic shotgun in all of gaming.

There's a good level variety that keeps the game fresh.

Overall it's a mixed bag
