Summary: Own PSX "Medal of Honor"
Review: If the PC port of the game is even half as good as the PSX version, it's going to rock. Medal of Honor (and to a lesser extent, its sequel) is one of the best first person shooters I've ever played. It also happens to be a very good representation of World War II combat. The weapons represented in the game really are what was avaiable during the war (in other words you're not running around with an M-16 wasting everything in sight) The ammunition dispersal is realistic. You take it off dead enemies, steal it from warehouses. The missions are very plausable. You had to take out German weapons productions, stop the Nazi A-bomb, and destroy a V-2 rocket lab. And, unlike most other games, you do have to watch what you shoot! If you nail an oxygen tank, for example, you and anything withing ten feet is done for. I've seen some screen shots for this game. They look absolutely amazing. Then again, that's what gamers can expect from a Quake III engine game.

Summary: Uh...can you believe the pictures?
Review: Maybe this is a bad first review... but simply looking at the screenshots of this game make me cringe with amazement. Realism anyone?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Game, but..
Review: Overall a great game, there are plenty of missions to please, lots of different types of objectives, a variety, and just different types of enviroments: Desert to winter to rainy.

Though sometimes I do think its a little overated, heres why:
OK, I saw Saving Private Ryan and know about the devastation at Omaha Beach; but the graphics weren't that great- IT'S A BEACH! And when you clear the shingle, go to the bunker and camp out, if you try running back to the beach, and make it, you slowly die away..odd, I wasn't being shot.. And sometimes the realilty of it all doesn't sink in: Taking a submarine pen with at least 50+ men in it seems reasonable, IF THERE'S 25 OTHER MEN WITH YOU. Anyways, theres just a few other minor glitches and that's it.

Bottom Line: Great Game, a little unrealistic, but fun. Escpecially, getting medals for finding another POW ( in Arzewcough) or destroying a Tiger Tank.

Summary: BEST FPS FOR THE PC
Review: Here's What I think of this game:

Graphics 10/10:

Wow, if you have a PC that alows you to play MOH:AA on all the high settings, then you'll be blown away with the detail in every level. Weather it's the scared look on a fellow rangers face or the smoke from a recently fired Kar 98 Sniper Rifle, everything looks real. There are very few things that ever look amiss in the game.

Sound 8/10:

Don't get me wrong, the sounds is really good. You can here soldiers wispering, wimpering, rain falling, defining explosions, far off gun fire, taunts, and pretty much all sounds that you'd expect in a WW2 game. But, and yes there is a but, the game tends to have a few sound gliches. For instance, in parts of the game, you'll fire a weapon and there will be no sound. You'll here the bullet hit what ever it is you shot at, but there wont be a "BANG" when you press the fire button. There are other similare problems, weather its a bug in the game or what, im not sure. But what i really like is how the weather effects, muffle rifle shots. So when hidding, knowing there are enemy snipers around you, you're left wondering if it was a gun shot you hear or distant clap thunder. At points in the game, it gets really intense.

Single Player Mission Structure 11/10:

Perfect. Simply perfect. The missions are very well done. From North Aferica to Norway to France to Germany, you'll be leading ranger squads, sabotaging German equipment, infiltrating German HQ, and you even get to drive a KING TIGER TANK. The D-DAY mission is by far the best level I've every played in a FPS, followed up by the mission where you're a sniper and are sneaking around a bombed out French village, taking out opposing snipers. What I also enjoyed was how you'd be awarded medals for doing secret objectives (e.g. destroying a group of Tanks)

Weapons 10/10:

In this game you're givin a wide range of different guns and granades, all look and sound really good. You can use the Colt. 45, OSS Hi-Standard Silenced Pistol, M1 Garand (best rifle in the game) Springfeild '03 Sniper Rifle, Thompson SMG, the BAR, Mark 2 Frag Granades, Bazooka, Winchester Shotgun, .30 CAL Mounted Machine Gun, Walther P38, Mauser KAR 98K, MP40, KAR 98 Sniper Rifle, STG44 STURMGEWHR, MG42 Mounted Machine Gun, Stielhandgrenate and the Panzershreck.

Muliplayer 7/10:

It isnt bad, but nothing new. You have your free for all, team death match, round based match and objective based match. The maps are good and are very detailed; giving you a real sense of fighting on the WW2 front.

Realism 9/10:

This games about as real as your going to get. The soldiers on both sides where the appropriate uniforms, say and do the logical thing when attacked and suprised, your team mates arnt completely useless (unlike other FPS like all Delta Force games) and theres depth in what the characters say. Soldiers will cry out with emotion and bark orders with rage, non sound as if there being read from a script. However, your team mates aiming isnt that accurate. For and example, there points in the game where a German soldier will be right infront of fellow ranger. Both will shoot at each other and both will miss, even if there face to face. Also, on the D-Day level, theres a Medic on the beach who has a Colt pistol strapped onto his side. In any armed force, now and then, Medics werent aloud to carry wapons. These things are small and dont really effect the game much, unless your a realism freak or a history buff.

Overall 10/10:

Worth its weight in gold. BUY IT!

Summary: Not what these people have reviewed,
Review: While this game isn't exactly worthless (it has very good graphics and a nice atmosphere), it is WAY overrated. I had heard that this was a great game, so I was really excited when one of my friends let me borrow it. Once I started playing it, however, I quickly went from unimpressed to simply disappointed.

This game is really just a run-of-the-mill first person shooter that happens to take place during WWII. You never actually feel like you're in the middle of a war. Rather, you are running around on secret missions, blowing stuff up and fighting ridiculous numbers of enemies all by yourself, just like 007 in "Nightfire" (hey, another crummy title from EA games!) There's nothing really wrong with that, it's just that the game is called "Allied Assault" not "One-man Assault" so you'd think it would be more of a war game. You do get allies on occaision, but they are incredibly pathetic and stupid and always get themselves shot as soon as they can.

Apart from allies that don't help you, this game is filled with guns that don't fire when you need them to. That gets kind of annoying, since it seems that you have to empty an entire clip into a bad guy to kill him. And yet another really annoying thing about this game: there is absolutely no blood of any kind! I don't understand this. There have been many games that include blood and have have still recieved a "T" rating. The reason that the lack of blood is so irritating is that when you shoot at the bad guys, you can't tell if you hit them or not! I can fire several rounds at a Nazi and he'll just be standing there like nothing happened. When you actually do hit the bad guys, they simply fall over... and if you havn't hit them enough times, they get right back up! Again, this reminds me of "Nightfire," that 007 game in which there is no blood and you end up wasting a whole machine gun clip on one guy because you can't tell if you hit him or not ("Nightfire," I must say again, is a terrible game, much worse than "Allied Assault." Ian Fleming was probably turning over in his grave when they realeased it.)

What else can I say? Oh yeah, the controls suck! And you can forget about using stealth. The game tries to make you think that you can be sneaky and use your brain when you play, but in reality, since there is no way to use stealth, you have to just run and gun your way through the levels while getting shot time after time by your enemies. There is really no way to avoid getting shot. The pattern that you have to use is this: shoot, get shot, and then find the health packs that are conveniently lying around everywhere you go.

But what annoyed me MOST OF ALL was that for multiplayer, you have to use Gamespy. Now, tell me: why should anyone have to pay extra money to subscribe to Gamespy when they've already coughed up 30 to 50 bucks for "Medal of Honor"? That brings me to my next point. I am glad that my friend let me borrow this game and that I didn't cough up ANY money to play it!

Summary: PLEASE read this if are thinking about buying it
Review: This is one of those games that will have you tearing your hair out, swearing you're going to throw it away or sell it, then an hour later you find yourself popping it in to try to make it a few feet further on your path to victory. MOH is, first and foremost, a game - please don't expect a recreation of real battle or a history lesson. It's an amusement, nothing more. And as such, it is successful. Starting in North Africa, you progress through the war, land at D-Day, infiltrate a submarine pen, steal plans, assassinate scientists, and blow up underground factories. It's a long road, and you'll die dozens, even hundreds of times, before you get to the end.
There are, however, problems with MOH that make me not want to go back and play it again, now that I've gone all the way through. For one thing, some weapons don't seem to be very powerful, especially the pistol and the shotgun. You'd think that a 12 gauge shotgun at point blank range would be devastating, but not in MOH, as these Germans can soak up buckshot like it was a handful of beans. The German Shephard dogs you'll run into are WAY too deadly. They are basically a "dirty trick" that the game plays on you, and while you can take multiple machine gun rounds and keep on ticking, one or two bites from a dog and you're dead. Also, there are missions that are very, very hard - the legendary "Sniper Alley" is one. There are others. These seem to defy solutions until you reload the game dozens of times and finally give up and start the particular mission over, retracing your steps, trying it on the LEFT side of the road rather than the right, anything at all. And that's just on "easy" mode. The very final mission, and the last room of the last mission, is just plain too hard. Many have said so - there's no reason to make it so hard except to make you exhausted and glad it's over. I played, and won, MOH several times until I was able to play it on "hard", finally making it all the way up to that room, but was unable to win it. Even downloading all the cheats and hints didn't help - it was insoluble to me. That's just too hard, and to me shows laziness on the game designer's part. I have not gone back to try it again - I was fed up at that point.

MOH may not be as good as Call of Duty, I have no idea - I have a life to live after all and don't want to spend it in front of a computer screen. But I'll always remember fondly the many exasperated hours of fun MOH gave me. It's highly recommended if you have time on your hands and want a dose of WW2 combat. Note: there are easter eggs and hidden games within the game. Check out the cheat and hint websites for how to enter these secret areas, including one whole hidden mission. You'll need these websites anyway, as it's nearly impossible to get through the whole game without a little help, unless you're a veteran FPS gamer, which I wasn't.

Summary: just to give advice to cyrus
Review: Is it just me, or are there other silent gamers out there who are too afraid to voice their contempt toward politically correct heavily fantasized ww2 games? I am sooo damn tired of being stuck with absolutely no choice in options as to which side i can play. You get to play our side, and thats final. If ya don't wanna be the good ol' blank faced g.i., charging machine gun nests and knocking out tiger tanks single handedly, then you're a damn pro french commie who should be tarred and feathered.

Just once, i would like to play a high profile game that lets ya play from the axis side. Just once i wanna be a grizzled wehrmacht, or ss grunt, digging his final trench, and fighting against hopeless odds. Maybe even man a lone computerized 88 mm gun against a wave of sherman tanks. I wanna kill some g.i. bots for a change! Should i be shot for that? Just thought it might be fun to play as some historical soldiers who were actually required to fight, not as dudes who left their artillery and their air power do the hard work.

peace

Summary: I had a little fun playing this title
Review: I thought this game had great sound, and gameplay. Though the AI, Multiplayer, and length all come very short. First of all the multiplayer is stupid as hell. 4 game modes is a joke. And the AI is simply put as crap. If I where to simply choose between Call of Duty and Medal of Honor: Allied Asault i would have to go with CoD.
