Summary: Grate Game, but too short.
Review: This game is amaizing and the sound is very realistic, It was a very nice experience, but it ended too soon.
I can not wait for the expansion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best RPG available today
Review: This is a great game and worth every penny. The graphics are stunning, the realism of the situations and strategies are second to none, and you can pretend you are in the middle of WWII while sleeping in your own comfy bed at night! I've tried demo versions of Ghost Recon, Soldier of Fortune, and America's Army, and this one is head and shoulders above the rest.

Summary: A truly magnificent game
Review: The wildly popular PlayStation series has finally arrived for the PC. Jump into the shoes of Lt. Mike Powell and do battle across 6 theaters of war, including Omaha Beach.

Out of all four Medal of Honor games, this one is my favorite. Dreamworks has taken all that is wrong with this game's console brethren and fixed it. The battles are once again fast paced, requiring a lot of thinking on your feet.

With the keyboard as a controller, control options exploded. No longer do you have to work your way through an entire cycle of weapons to get to the one you need. Just hit the cooresponding button on your keyboard, and up it comes.

The linear feel is dropped. Like other PC First person shooters, some rooms once again have no meaning except to hold to few soldiers. Most doors are openable. Also, like the music in Frontline, the sound in Allied Assault is something that must be heard to be believed.

The game successfully imparts a sense of courage and valour that the greatest generation experienced during the fight against the German threat. Feel your heart race during the extremely intense invasion of Normandy.

Something that Allied Assault has that the console editions don't have. There is always a compass in the upper left corner of your screen, but this game has an objective arrow that points you to your next objective, as well as a set of ball bearings that indicate the distance from it. In my opinion, that cuts down on the exploration experience you should have now that the game is less linear. It also makes the missions somewhat easier.

With a small list of detractions, this game is a brilliant addition to the Medal of Honor series. This is why this game is my favorite of the series.

Summary: Almost too realistic
Review: The game looks great and generally has a great sense of immersion.

The gameplay is also designed for realism. I heard that they hired real soldiers, who have seen action, to critique the gameplay. It's not just the way it looks -- you interact with the game differently than with other games.

One aspect not mentioned in other reviews is how it sounds. You hear the other soliders screaming orders (or sometimes just screaming) and the bullet shots and footsteps and all that stuff and it's very immersive.

I think the biggest problem with the game may be that it's TOO realistic. When a game is this realistic, little things that wouldn't be a problem in other games, become very annoying.
You may want to crouch in a particular way on a realistic-looking hillside, for example, but the game doesn't allow that. (In fairness, no game really gives the player that level of interaction with the environment, but it's not as bothersome in a less realistic game.)

In another case, the D-Day level is realistically hard, but I found that after playing it a while (and realistically getting killed several times over) it seemed incredibly artificial. ...In summary, it's a good, exciting game, worth getting, but its high level of realism makes the unreal aspects all the more noticible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best game ever
Review: Man! This is some game. It basically takes you through all the important battles in WW2. You get D-day, Normandy, Arzew, everything. The game play is awesome there is nothing like it at all. This is the real deal. I you like shoot em up games up or any 1st perons this is one game you should get. The only thing that may stop you is if you are a nazi lover you cant play as them....BUMMER. Oh well still a great game. Any one who thinks of buying this no thinking needed just get it NOW. Dont wait to get SpearHead get this and than get spear head you cant skip this one.

Summary: THIS IS IT!
Review: Wow!! What a game! My girlfriend and I bought the DVD,
Saving Private Ryan and I stated "gee , they need to make a
game like this". She stated they had and at was this game.
It has a lot of scenes from the movie,even the extremly
moving scene of the first part of the movie,where the
GI's are approaching Omaha Beach, I freaked!!! Being a serious
1st person shooter,the shooting is a little different. Its almost
"real life shootin" ,where its not quite exact. With most
1st person games, you can basically shoot anywhere close to the guy,with this you have to be precise,its very realistic! No its
now trying not to get "tied up" playing this game. The first
night I played for 5 hours. GO BUY THIS GAME!

Summary: WW 2 Comes to Life.
Review: I love first person shooter games, but the bulk of them are so unrealistic it's hard to get absorbed..Along comes MOHAA and voila!, it's real...it's like you're there!..reliving the worst conflagration the world has ever known..You are Lt. Powell,working on behalf of the OSS, and you take part in the N. Africa invasion, the sabotage of a German Sub, the D Day landings,driving and firing a Tiger Tank, fighting in France and Germany, and the final assualt on a munitions factory in the heart of the Nazi realm...It's a great game, sound effects and visual effects are terrific, and when you hear that Browning automatic fire off it's rounds, it's literally scary!...I have played through all the levels dozens of times and have never been bored...High recommendations all around.

Summary: Medal has Mettle
Review: Ha ha, I made a joke in the title. I am so clever. Ha ha.
Anyway.

Medal of Honor draws root directly from Saving Private Ryan. Literally; Speilburg helped bankroll the series. And Medal of Honor's famous rendition of D-Day, while not as jarring as the films, is still one of the most memorable parts of any game in years. However, there are many imressive scenes.

People hoping for stealthy missions will be sadly dissapointed by Alled Assault. The only times you aren't actually shooting Nazis on sight are when you have a uniform, which means all Nazis think you're one of them. Besides those missions, the game is all run-and-gun. That is one weakness; the second is the over-done "Sniper's Last Stand", where you will be killed constantly by unknown enemies untill you know where the shots are coming from, and a few times after that. Seriously, it is easier to get up Omaha then past the snipers. Fortunatly, that is one level; the sniping only appears a few other times.

And the rest of the single-player is great. There are no jumping puzzles, few times you risk being without ammunition (most of which occuring if you stay in one place on a level that keeps creating enemies. The parts you are placed in a tank and a motor bike are great breaks from the shooting. For these reasons Medal of Honor is the best 2002 shooter I've played, and I don't think playing a second 2002 shooter will diminish my respect for it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OUTSTANDING
Review: THIS GAME IS GREAT. UNLIKE ITS PREDECESSORS IN THE SAME SERIES, THIS GAMES OFFERS MORE FUNCTIONALITY AND ORIGINAL THEMES. ITS REALISM IS WHAT GRABBED ME. YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST..BEGINNING TO END.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Saving Private Ryan on you desktop
Review: This game is awesome although some of the allies tend to run around in circles in tricky situations and get killed. The game follows the movie with a few extra sequences but all in all if you watched the flick, you will know what to do to succeed in the missions. I love the immersive environment and the music is awesome. The sounds add to the experience as well as the enemie AI. The Germans tend to be a little more formidable opponents than you are accustomed to seeing in these games. The battles are intense especially the beach landing at normandy (expect to not make it out of the LST). The only thing that seems to annoy people is the lack of blood. I for one am not bothered by it as the game is enjoyable enough to hold your interest even without the customary gore. I highly recommend this title and if you purchase it be careful of the snipers as they are deadly.
