Summary: This is it?
Review: (Note: This review is based on the multiplayer demo - and written 1 week before full release)Before I start, let me say that I have played MOHAA since the first game's demo was released, and I play it daily or weekly depending on my schedule. So, I loaded the demo (after renaming it to allow XP to accept the filename length) and was excited to see new weapons for the Brits (so now I can play like a real Canadian soldier with a Vickers/Bren style machine gun!) The Italians are kind of cool too. Then I go online. The demo is choppy (and I have run this on two machines, both well within the specs for the game, and both with options "dumbed down" to be sure of good gameplay.) I had good ping (never over 110) and it was still jumpy. I futzed with my video settings. Still choppy. Kind of like an intermittent spiking lag. Dunno if that's just a function of the demo, but that kind of made sniping (with that new Enfield sniper for the Brits) a bit disappointing. And what's with the Italian weapons? I swear I spent the first 10 minutes spraying mg bullets at my enemies with no effect. If these are based on real weapon specs, no wonder the Italians had a bad time of it. Come to think of it, the Vickers is a huge step down from the BAR. It has a slow thunk-thunk-thunk fire sound, and I am guessing a slower fire rate because I had problems killing bad guys with that one too. The new release-the-prisoners game is interesting, but I still think they hit the high mark with the TOW games. And what's with that mine detector? Great idea (hell, Italy was one big minefield) but it's goning to take some time to master its potential. I wonder if, with the full release, we'll be able to mine the heck out of the courtyard in Stalingrad (moh map6)? Am I gonna buy the expansion pack? Likely. If only to have more weapons/soldiers options for Omaha Beach. Am I thrilled beyond belief about the new stuff? Not anywhere near as much as I wanted to be...

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: ---- Contains minor spoilers ----
I only paid $10 for this expansion pack so I didn't really expect all that much. I'd played Mohaa all the way through without any major problems so I was suprised to find that some portions of this game are ridiculously difficult. I found I kept running out of ammo because the vast majority of bad guys don't drop ammo when you kill them.
Other parts of the game are also poorly designed such as the bit where your buddy is trying to unlock a door. You get swamped by grenade launching dudes and don't stand a chance. There are several other points which are extremely difficult too. There doesn't really seem to be a good reason for designing a game with this level of difficulty. And, yes, I'm playing on 'EASY'.
The standard cheats don't seem to work on this expansion set and I can't find any cheats online which either means there aren't any or no-one cares enough about the game to research them. Either way, the only way around these impossible sections is to jump to the next map.
There are some cool new weapons such as a powerful air-rifle, a wimpy sub machine gun, and an excellent machine gun. You also get to use mortars, ack-ack, and other heavy artillery. There's also a good dose of humor too.
Overall I'd say it might be worth $10 but not a penny more.

Summary: Disappointing Sequel to MOHAA
Review: Allied Assault was one of the best games I have ever played. Spearhead was too short and added nothing new. I got pumped up for Breakthrough, I thought EA would try better after Spearhead. Breakthrough while fun, is really hard. You cannot pick up HARDLY ANY ammunition from dead soldiers. Right now I'm on the last mission, Monte Battaglia. All there is is endless waves of Germans, and you are low on health and ammunition throughout the whole thing. I thought of uninstalling it. It is also not worth the thrity dollars or so. Wait until Call of Duty comes out. BOTTOM LINE: Could have been a descent game, but it is nothing new. Shame on EA.

Summary: battle of frustration ridge
Review: As a computer gamer of 30 years (you read that right), I found this to be the most frustrating piece of crappy software gaming I've ever played. If you enjoy playing one scene over and over and over and OVER until you finally figure out that you have to first do thing 1 before you do thing 2 (and it doesn't have to be something logical), then this is for you. It's one thing to be challenging, but this game takes it over the top. Ridiculous. Spend your money on Call of Duty - EXCELLENT!

Summary: Not worth $30
Review: As a point of reference, I enjoyed MOHAA, and to a lesser degree, Spearhead. Breakthrough suffers the same problems many 3rd installments do, it copies from the previous two and believes more is better. While Spearhead added some interesting new missions to the MOHAA universe, Breakthrough essentially copies them, with some changes, and throws in more enemies and fewer health and ammo recharges. While I understand that these particular campaigns were especially desperate for the Allies, its just frustrating gameplay. There was a point in the game, during a mission similar to the Sniper-town of Spearhead, albeit fewer snipers, were I was forced to kill snipers with a handgun because I had run out of ammo. I'm not wasteful with ammo either, good accuracy, short bursts. I had to quit and restart the level with more pistol whip-killing just to save ammo for later. Wish I'd known before I wasted time playing it "normally". There are several missions that end with the now over-played forced adreneline of having to defend one spot while swarms of the enemy fire at with virtually no help. Can't move, can't get ammo or you'll fail the mission. Its just poorly designed game play and I've stopped playing out of frustration. So while I may have experienced the desperation (obviously in a minor way) that these real-life missions may have engendered, its not really that fun this time around.
I can't remember how the other two were, but you can rarely pick up ammo/weapens from dead enemy troops in Breakthrough. I have to emphasize rarely, so if you do get this game, learn how to shoot accurately to the head.
Also, on a technical note, there are a fair amount of bugs especially in the enemy troops. There was point were several of them stood frozen, wouldn't die or move. The engine is really beginning to act its age graphically, with AI sorely needing an overhaul in general.
If you're a huge fan of the series, wait until its under $20, maybe its worth it then.

Summary: Medal of Honor : Allied Assault - Breakthrough
Review: Breakthrough is an expansion pack to Medal of Honor - Allied Assault. It needs AA to install the game. BT is not bad but not as good as AA or Spearhead, It is much harder than AA or Spearhead, The black and white movie cutsences between the missions are fantastic. The level design and the gameplay is not as good as i expected, i expected a lot after Spearhead which was better than AA. There are also some graphical corruptions in the game, I got a lot of black patches expecially in the rain levels. I have a GeForce Fx. The graphics are also quite date by today's standerds. I would recommend Breakthrough only to die hard MohAA fans.

Summary: Someone should be fired, like say, EVERYONE
Review: Breakthrough takes the wonderful legacy of the original Medal of Honor game and pounds it into the ground. This game is an abject failure on nearly every level. The strategy of EA (or whoever is responsible for over-hyped franchised expansion packs) is to throw overwhelming numbers of Nazis at you in nearly every level until you freak out or quit the game out of the frusteration of lag. Breakthrough offers no innovative improvements from the original and will make you start to question whether you actually enjoyed the original game. Yes, that's actually how bad it is. If you thought Spearhead was a dissapointment, brace yourselves for this disaster. Save your money and buy something else. Boo!

Summary: Just awful (sound gets a star, tho)
Review: EA games has beaten this particular dead horse once too many times.
Whatever the original MOHAA had going for it has been gone for some time now. Perhaps we've all been spoiled by BF1942, but this boring and hopelessly frustrating addition to the franchise makes me wonder what a company has to do to drive its best brains out of the company (to Activision where they formed Infinity Ward and developed the eagerly anticipated Call of Duty) and hand the reins over to TKO software, a company responsible for such memorable PC titles as... as... Well this company has no titles. This their first game for the PC. They make games for wireless phone services. What do you expect?
Still has all the bugs that Spearhead had, enemy AI way higher than squadmate AI, enemies are all deadly snipers who never miss, it takes putting 7 rounds into one of them to die, and finally clipping. The Quake 3 engine is showing its age, and this ugly title could pull the plug.
Picks or pans? Pans. Cheers or Jeers? Jeers.
Save your milkmoney for Call of Duty.

Summary: Learn how to play a game!
Review: first of all i am not 12 i havn't gotten my account yet. This game is very good it doesn't add much to the mohaa we all know and love. But it will hold us off until moh rising sun and pacific assault come out. The game is very easy despite the fact that you don't get as much ammo as was the case in previous installments of moh. i don't see why everyone is saying how hard it is. there is about 1 mission that you have to try a 2nd or 3rd time about half way through the game (the sniper level) but then again i never could spot the enemy in an urban terrian. all in all the game is worth your money while still rather short compared to mohaa.
