As dawn broke on February 19, 1945, US Marines began the largest, most important island campaign of the Pacific Theater. Fear permeated the air as the deeply entrenched Japanese defended against the brutal assault. Battle weary, but unyielding, these heroic Marines hoisted the American flag, turning the tide of war forever. The game's graphics are a better than those in WWII Normandy and Vietnam 2.WWII Iwo Jima is "powered" by the LithTech engine.
Join these heros as a unit command battling your way through these island skirmishes. Struggle to keep your men by your side or assign them missions. The success of the US effort hangs in the balance. The game plays like any other first-person shooter, but it does have the somewhat unique ability of letting you control up to three other US Marines during most of the game's 12 levels.The orders that you issue them are simple ones, and they include defending a position and attacking an enemy.
