Disappointed

User Rating: 4.3 | Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault PC
Now, don't get me wrong. I have played and replayed its three predecessors in the series and found them to be quite fun as first-person shooter games go. However, so many things seem to have been changed when this entry came along that it seemed to take all the fun right out of it. Now, riddle me this: When you have something as well-written as the first three, and the execution is almost flawless, why would you change it? How I could be so far off is a mystery. I've read thru several walk-throughs and restarted Pacific Assault again and again, only to end up dying at the same spot (on the airfield, and I'm sure you all know at precisely which point...) However, it's not so much the dying at the same point that gets me. It's how laborious it is just getting to that point. And each level seems repetitious and lacking ingenuity. It was so frustrating that I finally gave up and put the game away. I don't do that very often. This entry seemed to be poorly written, the movement of my character was stilted, the way in which I'm forced to format the keyboard seems to lack logic when compared with previous entries. And there are too many keyboard commands to remember, making me want to shout, "KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!!" Why would the creators do this to a perfectly good game???
