Summary: Excellent gaming experience...
Review: MOHAA is an intense, first person shooter with great graphics and incredible sounds. You are Lt. Powell, who must complete a number of missions for OSS that scope the major battles of the European Theatre in WWII. Gameplay is straightforward, exciting, and progressively more difficult. This is not a more "realistic" combat simulation like Operation Flashpoint, but there is a good balance of realism with gameplay. The Omaha Beach landing level is amazing and gives you a very small peak into what those brave men went through, and the sounds are overwheming. The only drawbacks I see are the multiplayer, which is not really team-based like the Half-Life mod Day of Defeat, but really just a massive frag-fest...You will also need some serious hardware to run this well. Overall, the developers did a great job, and I hope that the new installment in this series, Frontline, which is to come out for PS2, is also ported to the PC.

Summary: Medal of Honor Does Not Always Live Up to The Hype
Review: I was so excited at the prospect of playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault that I put out the money for this overpriced game. I felt like I was playing the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers or the movie Saving Private Ryan. This made the game a rerun right out of the gate for me. However, there are some aspects of this first person shooter that make it worth your time. First, it is HARD to play. This is the first game that has challenged this veteran gamer in a long time. Those Germans are nasty! Second, the missions offer variety and are innovative. You switch from working with a team to following a spy to, well...I don't want to give it all away. If you are new to this genre, you will not feel as "seen it, done that" as I was.

Summary: "You Are About To Embark Upon The Great Crusade..."
Review: Medal of Honor Allied Assault is a fine edition to the Medal of Honor series. You are Lt. Mike Powell, an O.S.S. Agent, and U.S. Army Ranger, fighting with your comrades on the front lines, or fighting behind enemy lines by your self. My favorite mission is the third one. Along with your comrades you storm Omaha Beach, blow up the shingle, run through a mine field while being fired upon by machine guns, and finaly clearing out a bunker filled with Nazi's. If you like World War II first person shooters, this game is for you. You'll like this game I guarentee it!

Summary: *clap clap clap*
Review: That's all that can really be said. I found no flaws at all in this game. I've heard people complaining about the jumping system; you put on all that gear, jump up and down a few times, and tell me what it feels like. I'm a real WW2 buff, and that's what I was most concerned with in this game when I got it, was it accurate. And, yes, it is very historically accurate. The timeframe for the weapon development is off by a bit, but it makes the gameplay much more enjoyable. The only thing I didn't really like, is that you're one soldier carrying around a sniper rifle, sub-machine gun, a pistol, and a primitive assault rifle. Realistically, you'd have one or two of those, but I really doubt you'd have all of them. I'd like to see a limit on how many guns you can carry, like in Halo, but this wasn't really an issue as far as gameplay goes. I was just really surprised by how historically accurate it was, while still turning out to be a really well designed game. It took me a while to beat, it could've been longer, but again, not bad. More than worth the money.

Summary: Best In Class - By A Longshot
Review: It's hard to describe with my simple words how awesome this game is. You have to experience it for yourself. It is certainly the best WWII FPS hands-down. But it's more than that - it's the beginning of one of the biggest franchises in game history. I'd be surprised if Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and it's future expansion packs don't become more popular than that other great EA gaming franchise - the SIMS! One thing you need to know - this game becomes a lot more enjoyable the more computer and graphics processing power you throw at it. So for the ultimate MOH experience, run the game on a high-end workstation, i.e. AMD Athlon XP 2000 or better; or Intel P4 2.2ghz+, with 512mb+ RAM and a top of the line Geforce 4 graphics processor. It will increase your MOH gaming pleasure immeasurably.

Summary: Only one out 25 actually runs.
Review: We have a high power gaming PC (AMD 900 MHz, Nvidia etc.) which works with the Sierra (and other) games just fine. Despite hours of diagnostics and tech support, the program still gave a "This program has performed an illegal operation" message. We talked to two different tech support people at EA who couldn't find the problem. I exchanged the game just in case the CD was bad. While shopping at Best Buy I talked to a tech support person there and he told me that their return rate is 1 good one for every 25 sold. So this is a known problem even if he exaggerated slightly. I wrote a complete email to EA documenting the problem, but there's no response. It may be a great game, but if it is so poorly written that it can't define the errors or even limp around them, EA should pull it or fix it and tell their tech support people where customers can get the patch. Any game that causes us 10 hours of testing, reloading and tech support calls with no results tells us something about EA and how much they think of their end-users.

Summary: Hours of fun killing people! Vent your frustrations on Nazis
Review: This game has good controls and great graphics. I had loads of fun killing nazis... I especially liked being a sniper and blowing their heads off... You can also shoot their dogs (wish they were pit bulls...) Follow the missions and accomplish your assigned tasks and have fun killing along the way. It really is a good game and well worth the money. I can't imagine how hard storming the beaches would be in a difficult mode. Easy was hard enough... And, you CAN play it on Windows XP...

Summary: Fine example of a FPS
Review: Well, EA certainly got it right with this one. I've got to say, EA have had their ups and downs, but with the sims franchise and now this. MOHAA has been out for some time now, but i only just had the 'honor' of getting it for myself and i was not dissapointed. As with all of the other MOH games out, you play the role of a soldier undercover to start with, but basically fighting your way for the survival of the free world, and yes it does feel like that sometimes.
As with all games, what one person likes, another will hate, but this brings with it a mix of brilliant AI (so far as AI goes these days)where soldiers won't just run at you with guns blazing, they'll nearly always find cover, and an array of massive and graphically stunning levels to explore. There are 8 campaigns each with 3 or 4 levels to them, each aimed at a main objective from the start, but having to get from place to place and meet difference people as you do each level in order to complete the objective.
For people who like to see numbers, the game took me roughly 2 weeks to complete on normal mode of 3 (Easy, normal, hard) playing a rather limited hour ish a night, so it could be said to have a 14 hour life span. Though it should be heavily noted that a lot of that time will be spent re-loading and going back to where you started when you last died. It is pretty hard even on normal mode, and you will never get bored of playing it at least until you complete it for the second time. The way it's design apart from the odd level, is that you will have a period of relax where you have to achive something trivial like meet a spy or something accumpanied with the occational enermy attacking you from behind a baral or shed, and then you'll be on the back of a jeep before you know it with a .30 machine gun driving towards a German airfield doing nothing but keeping you finger pressed down hard on the trigger in order to survive. It's well structured and takes very well after 'saving privet Ryan' Actually, better put, it might as well be called 'saving privet Ryan' because it's got a lot of influence from the movie such as the Normandy beach landing where you will never survive the trek up it first time, and the sniper happy ruined village where head shots are a comin'.
Overall if you like a FPS with intelligence and tonnes of atmosphere this is one to get. The only flaws that i can find is the pretty average multi-player mode with only a handful of options and levels to choose from, and the occasional glitch like the AI, (a classic AI glitch) which all FPS still have not managed to resolve is the panic factor. When you turn a corner to face the barrel of the german rifle in your face, you panic and shoot like mad, but not the other fella, he aims carefully and bam, no matter how many holes he's got in his legs and arms, he can still once he gets up shoot straight!!
Apart from that trivial thing that had to be put in because nothing else is worth it, thats it.
Well worth owning!
