It's recommended that you have a 2GHz CPU (the minimum is 1.5GHz) and a 128MB graphics card that's at least (64MB minimum) a GForce 3 or ATI 8500 the review system had an AMD XP2000+ and an ATI 9000Pro 128MB card, the game ran okay generally but slowed noticeably in the thick of the action, especially where explosions were involved and there are quite a few of those!. Technically you'll need a fairly decent rig to run the game and get a satisfactory experience from it, running at 640x480 with low visual settings just spoils the over look and feel of the game, coupled with that it makes the game slightly harder to play because you end up 'pixel aiming' (you're basically trying to hit pixel blocks rather than the 'objects' you would at higher resolution).

This is what it must have been like and it's seriously scary, how the hell those guy did this in real life during W.W.II just boggles the mind and like the TV mini series Band of Brothers, Pacific Assault really brings this home to you as you play through it. You don't know what's there, who's there, or even if indeed there is an objective where it's supposed to be. You and your buddies then need to battle through chaos, find said 'objective' and deal with it. There's an objective over there, somewhere". Imagine being there, in reality, you've got a gun and some directions " That way. Now that may sound bad but believe me it's not.
