Finished Medal of Honour

Finished Medal of Honour Pacific assault today.
I quite likeed the way the game starts with you landing on Tarawa island, you die, and then the game back tracks some years to the beginning. You then do training, and eventually the last level is you landing on tarawa island. Neat idea starting and ending the game in the same area, except the second time you're better equipt to deal with what is thrown at you.
The levels are short at the beginning and gets longer at the later levels whereupon you start to realise why there is a quick save! Having short levels to begin with is another good idea, it gives the illusion of quick progress whilst also easing the gamer into the game. Once you've got them eating the honey and they realise how niec it is, they then want more, whereupon you can make them work for it i.e. longer and more difficult levels.

The main menu is also interesting in that it changes as you progress through the game; the sun starts to shine through you can see the nice blue ocean, the tent gets holes in it, everything becomes nicer, brighter and cleaner as you get further in te game. Also when you choose an item in the menu it takes you to a section of the 3d scene. For example if you click on multiplayer the camera pans to show guys playing cards, exit will pan the camera to a guy sitting on a jeep, intelligence pans to the noticeboard whereupon a 2d translucent sub menu is shown.
