Summary: Overall a great game
Review: I agree with much of what has been said about this game.. Overall, its a great game, with the pros outweighing the cons. What I have found particularly enjoyable is the score that was written to accompany the game. Expertly written and wound into the scenarios, its worthy of due attention. Whether riding in a tank, or weaving your way through the fog, the music seems to fit expertly into the game.

This was a great way to spend time after work..... A great game!

Summary: Best World War 2 Game of All Time
Review: It beats id Softwares WWII game, it beats Operation Flash point and destroys Delta Storm Land Warrior is the least to say. You heard people say the lack of blood was bad, well you can download blood for the game at website. The online play is good. The levels are sometimes hard but if you love a challenge you will love the game. The grapics are over average but under great. The I in the games AI stands for Increadibly stupid. But the game is over all if your not picky a great game and one of my favorites and I'm sure you will love it too.

Summary: Oh My
Review: I got this game the first day it came out and I could not be more satisfied. You get to take out nazis and ect with a variety of weapons. The best is 2 player in gamespy. It is so tense. Especially mission mode when you get to walk on the omaha beach and take out anyone in sight. This game is the best for snipering. I could play it all day. Get this game but make sure you computer can handle it.

Summary: Asome!
Review: The only thing i can find wrong with this game is when you blow up because of a mine you where never told of. The graphics are amazing, It's pretty realistic and the omaha beach level is Asome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and my friends play it over and over again. All the levels are fun, but some drag on. Never the less the music sounds graphics and the historically correctsness of the game make it worth every 50 dollers i spent on it

Summary: Not even close to Return to Wolfenstein
Review: The biggest problem with this game is the lack of balance in play. 90% of the time, the game is much too easy to be interesting. The other 10%, it is ridiculously difficult and frustrating due to game flaws which the computer opponent is exploiting. There is very little middle ground.

Except for the occasional guard dog (they're a joke) the only enemy in the game is German soldiers. Sure they have different uniforms and slight variety in weapons, but they're all basically the same. And if you shoot any of them even once, they'll stagger for a few seconds unable to shoot back or else die outright. Whats more, many of them drop health when they die. This makes them basically no challenge in 90% of situations. If you can see them you can shoot them, and if you can shoot them you're in no danger.

The other 10% of situations, the incredibly difficult and frustrating 10%, are where you can't see them. The AI can see through bushes, in the dark, and in the blurry gray haze at the limit of your visible range. So you are often shot at and killed by enemies who you literally can't see - not a single pixel of them on the screen. The entire 5th level of the game is filled up with invisible snipers. You could walk around the corner, be shot by 4 snipers, pause the game, and study the screen for 5 minutes and not see a single one of them.

Another problem with the game is many of the missions involve friendly computer controlled team mates who you generally need to protect and keep alive. All fine and good, except they will almost unerringly rush into the line of fire of the nearest machinegun, die, and force you to start the level again. When they're not doing that, they're either crowding around you so closely you get stuck in doorways, or else standing in front of you to block your line of fire.

Yet another problem is there's no blood. The general plot of the game plays like a war movie. The D-Day level flows almost exactly like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. What's a war movie without blood? The looney politicians like Joe Lieberman aren't going to approve of a violent video game whether it has the added touch of blood or not - but the gamers who buy these things sure as hell miss it.

Download the 1 player demo before you buy it, and see if the game is really your style. I wish I'd done that, my pocket would be ... heavier.

Summary: Excellent game, very addictive.
Review: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault must be held up to a higher standard than most games. For the original Medal of Honor on Playstation and especially its superlative sequel, Medal of Honor Underground had set the bar incredibly high. And though Allied Assault has some flaws, it is overall a really engaging game.

First, let's get the gripes out of the way. I'd have to say the story elements in the PSX Medal of Honor games were stronger. Allied Assault still uses real historical situations to ground its levels and that remains as effective as ever, but some of the missions are so long and varied that the central goal becomes obscured. Reloading takes much, much longer than it did before and though you may argue for realism, given the one-against-many scenarios in this kind of game, I think it's a bit too punishing. One last problem is that the level design suffers from the same flaws as in Medal of Honor -- sometimes the exit to another part of a level is so obscured that you could end up walking back and forth many times before you find there's actually a door in the wall. Finally, some parts of the missions (like Syphon Filter) are based on previous familiarity: For example, I stepped on landmines about two dozen times during the assault on Omaha beach, but there's no indication of where the mines are, so you're relegated to trial-and-error -- always a bummer. This problem is corrected in a later level, the destruction of the Nebelswerf rockets, where "Minen!" signs clue you in.

Now, the good parts: I was hesitant to buy this game because of the prospect of playing with a keyboard and mouse, but I picked up the control scheme very quickly. Aside from the ability to customize controls (way to go!), even the default settings are highly intuitive. The ability to save games saves you countless hours of frustrated replaying (especially essential since some of these levels are really, really hard). The pacing is tight as a drum, and the sound and music work are without peer. The ability to pause the game and go to system menu is simple yet indispensable. And although the size and difficulty of the levels makes for some confusion, it also gives you more hours of gameplay.

Not as good as Medal of Honor Underground ("Mike Powell", the lead character here, is nowhere near as fun to play or developed as Manon Batiste), but still well worthy of my full recommendation.

Summary: Repeat Fire!
Review: I should point out that I've never really played many First Person Shooters in the past, and yet that's exactly what Medal of Honor is. Yes, despite its frighteningly realistic look and feel, the gameplay boils down to "shoot everything in sight and run like hell when you're outmatched." So if you're looking for a realistic WWII simulator, look elsewhere. This game is about as realistic as a Rambo movie, but that doesn't mean it isn't a blast to play.

From the very first mission, you know you're in for an intense ride. An attempt to infiltrate a Nazi camp in Northern Africa goes wrong, your team ends up dead, and you find yourself alone behind enemy lines trying to rescue a British SAS officer who just may know the secrets necessary to bring down the German army. Almost every mission in the game offers this degree of cinematic heroics, and your initial mission plans will invariable go wrong, forcing you to improvise.

What MOH does so well is that it always throws in a new twist to break up the monotany of "shoot and run." You'll be sneaking past search lights, manning the machine guns on the back of a jeep, disguising yourself as a Nazi, calling for airstrikes against enemy tanks, etc, etc. It seems every mission has a new gimmick, and for the most part, they do a good job of keeping things fresh.

Unfortunately, this really is just a shooter, and towards the end of the game, I found myself getting bored despite the "gimmicks." Shooting endless waves of Nazis is satisfying, but I needed more. Yes, it's graphically beautiful, the sound is fantastic, and the atmosphere is stunning, but when I reached the final mission, and I was still just swiveling my mouse around gunning down everyone in sight, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hate First-Person-Shooters, but LOVED this one!
Review: This game has incredible depth. It spent several nights trying to figure out the right strategy for the situation. I can't wait for an expansion pack to come out!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Would not recommend
Review: One of the biggest dissapointments ever. I have been waiting for this game for ages and I was not impressed at all. I am still trying to figure out as to why do I have to spend half the time lost in a complete darkness? There must be a reason for it, but I really cannot see one. At one stage my eyesight was beginning to suffer as I would get completely lost trying to find a single trace of light to help me see where I am actually going. This can be very annoying, especially if it is 3am and you really want to pass that level. OK, there is a compass that you can use, but still...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT GAME!
