EA Announces Medal of Honor Rising Sun

EA STORMS THE PACIFIC THIS FALL
WITH MEDAL OF HONOR RISING SUN

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – March 3, 2003
– 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 (NASDAQ: ERTS).  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.
