Step into the boots of a Marine Corporal, survive the devastating attack
on Pearl Harbor, and drive the Japanese Army from the Pacific in Medal
of Honor Rising Sun from Electronic Arts. Developed by EALA, Medal of
Honor Rising Sun creates an immersive and authentic WWII experience in
either single-player or multi-player modes. Medal of Honor Rising Sun will be
available for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo GameCube
and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft in the fall of 2003.

Set for the first time in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from 1941-1944,
Medal of Honor Rising Sun gives players a sense of the courage it took to fight
the Japanese from Pearl Harbor to the shores of the Philippine Islands. Players
will assume the role of Marine Corporal Joseph Griffin, as he survives
the attack on Pearl Harbor, leads the assault of Guadalcanal, and finally rescues
his brother from a Japanese POW camp in the Philippines…..

Armed with his wits and a variety of authentic weapons, it’s up to players
to stop the Japanese war machine in its tracks. Players can even team up with
a friend in the all-new co-op multiplayer mode to battle the Japanese
forces. Along the way, players will earn awards and medals for their meritorious
service in defeating the enemy.

As with the original Medal of Honor, the producers sought council from numerous
outside sources to make certain the game is as historically authentic and realistic
as possible. EALA continues to work closely with the Congressional Medal
of Honor Society to ensure Medal of Honor Rising Sun reflects the ideals
and integrity of the prestigious Medal of Honor. In addition, Capt. Dale Dye,
who served as military technical advisor on the previous titles in the Medal
of Honor franchise, continues his efforts with the Medal of Honor Rising Sun
team to ensure the authenticity of the game.
