Medal of Honor Pacific Assault
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault gives players a sense of the courage it took to
fight the Imperial Japanese Army from the shock of Pearl Harbor to triumph on
the shores of the Tarawa Atoll. Set in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from
1941–1943, players will assume the role of Marine recruit Tommy Conlin as he
survives the attack on Pearl Harbor, leads the assault on Guadalcanal and
finally charges up the beaches for the climatic battle at Tarawa. Relying on
natural instincts and a variety of authentic weapons, it’s up to players to stop
the Japanese war machine in its tracks.
