A trackball mouse replacement can be a big help. Again, though, the action sequences are usually optional. You can intervene in any battle to personally lead the troops, or simply let your generals carry on the fight by themselves. Learning the basic moves and game controls is fairly easy, but mastering the complex strategies and learning to distinguish between generals with names like Shigehira and Shigemori will take many hours.
They should be hours enjoyably spent, however. The game play is reminiscent of the board game Risk , with the computer assuming some of the burden of determining the outcome of battles and sieges. Once you get past the basics, there are many subtleties to explore — such as using ninjas to assassinate your enemies, and finding the four sacred objects of the Imperial Regalia.
About the only thing that really bothered me were the screens that print explanatory messages before and after certain sequences. While these messages may be helpful the first time you read them, they get old very quickly and slow down the pace of the game unnecessarily. On the other hand, Cine-maware deserves compliments for allowing the game to be loaded from a hard disk though it's still copy protected , and for using spare memory to preload the game sequences so that no disk accesses are needed if you have enough memory.
Although Lords of the Rising Sun may be short onCinemaware's traditional cinematic effects, it is long on quality of game play. EA's Honor series of hard-hitting, historically accurate well, more or less first-person shooters sails across the clear blue Pacific. From scrambling through the USS California's burning holds to grabbing a turret and tearing into Japanese Zeros, Rising Sun 's Pearl Harbor opening level packed even more of a punch than the last Honor's Normandy invasion--definitely a good sign.
The game does have its moments: Escaping from the bowels of a Pearl Harbor carrier, infiltrating a secret meeting of the enemy command, riding shotgun on a gunboat or in the back of a truck--most of Rising Sun's gameplay is solid-but-predictable first-person shooting, but each mission has a special event or two that stands out. As for replay, alterations to levels for the two-player co-op mode is reason enough to pick the game back up after the seven or so hours it will take you to finish the first time through.
The problems--and they are big problems--are with the A. The vast burned-out cities and dense jungle levels are ambitious in design, but in execution they look drab and simplistic.
Convincing outdoor environments are always tough to pull off, but the big green walls, angular trees, and blurry textures in Rising Sun don't come close. As for enemy behavior, it's so embarrassingly bad at times, it's hard not to laugh. Japanese soldiers don't react to gunshots whizzing by, can often be found inexplicably staring at walls, and slowly spin in a circle when they miss with bayonet attacks, searching for a new target like a broken robot.
It's not enough to completely ruin the game, but this kind of lazy execution makes me wonder how much life this franchise has left in it. Aside from a few moments of forgivable melodrama, Rising Sun handles its Pacific theater setting surprisingly well.
