Summary: Must Buy for all FPS /WW2 lovers
Review: This is the best FPS that I have ever played since the days of Quake/Doom. Normally , nowadays I am more into sims , but the reviews made me curious about this game. I played the demo at a local Best Buy and instantly knew this game was the one.

The Omaha beach mission is incredible! It had my heart pounding!
There are some glitches here and there like floating bodies and scripted AI but one can live with such things

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brings you right into the action: Beware!
Review: If realistic 1st person war action is your genre, then you should take a definite look at Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault. Each mission is unique and exciting. The user interface is good and not too distracting. The D-day mission is absolutely incredible. When I played it for the first time, my heart was literally pounding, and I almost forgot that I was in a game and nearly panicked. The graphics are very realistic and crisp, but there are a number of glitches like floating bodies and spontaneous black blotches in a corner, etc. It may seem going overboard, but I had an extremely difficult time when a certain "person" that was helping me with my mission died, so I took special care to shoot the attacker before he could barely poke his head out the side of the wall to shoot my friend, but lo and behold, 3 second later my teammate goes "hurk!" and grabs his chest and plops to the ground. I was more peeved about that glitch more than losing him, but it's understandable because it's part of the mission. The AI also is very predictable, and if you play the game a couple times, you will know exactly where to shoot next. Still... this game is a whole lot of fun, and a good challenge in "Difficult" mode. Although not as good as the top-notch Battlefield: 1942 game, Medal of Honor is worth the money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: A well-made first-person game containing many excellent and pretty tough levels. The last level was reminiscent of the Max Payne game and those who've played it will know why. The game was buggy at times but the patches should alleviate some of the problems. Several points in the game captures the atmosphere of participating in "Saving Private Ryan" or "Band of Brothers". Personally, I found firing the machine gun-mounted jeep and and tank sequences pretty difficult (not the levels, controlling the vehicles), because of the constant movement.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Decent Graphics, Average Gameplay, Frustrating Level Design
Review: I've read all the good reviews on this game and just can't bring myself to jump on board the bandwagon. I'm a pretty experienced gamer who just doesn't see any big deal about this FPS.

The pros: Good graphics, decent sound, sometimes immersive gameplay. On some levels you ride vehicles for a change of pace. Lots of levels.

The cons: Cliched missions, heavily scripted AI, constant saving/reloading during certain missions, average weapon selection, below average multiplayer experience. Difficulty curve increases dramatically after the first few missions.

My biggest complaint with the single player game is some very obvious "cheap AI" and corresponding "cheap" graphics programming/level design. The game starts out very promising, with a gradual difficulty curve but eventually becomes an extremely tedious trial-and-error save&load game process in the later levels.

The Omaha beach level might seem at first to be an exciting, panicked charge up the beach to storm the bunkers, but after a few tries you realize it's nothing more than a timing maze puzzle as you run from barrier to barrier to prevent yourself from getting hit by unstoppable machine gun fire.

The sniper-city level is incredibly frustrating, as you must literally inch from spot to spot and pixel-hunt every angle and every shadow in the drab, grey backgrounds for equally grey enemy snipers, most of which are perfectly accurate and completely immobile, and sniping you from spots you cannot reach yourself. Though proponents of the game might argue this to be a realistic simulation of city warfare, the rest of the game is not paced this way, and realism isn't a factor anywhere else. It also might sound challenging at first, but in the end it's a continual load/save trial and error process that grows tiresome after the first 15 or 20 tries. You don't even get a muzzle flash to determine the direction the hits come from, and a handful of snipers seemingly hit you through walls or (after you find them and then retrace your steps) at angles you realize you could have never seen them. It's an artificial way to increase the length of this otherwise boring level.

Later levels combine each frustrating part of the previous levels, and add extra "lame" touches, such as fog (disguised as a snowstorm) that you must slowly inch through to prevent being ambushed from machine gun nests and the scripted enemy positions.

There's a vehicle-based level where you get to drive a big tank around, and it starts out promising. Sadly, it is also artificially made longer than it should be due to the fact that you have to shell every building you see - and it takes time for you to reload your gun after each shot.

Regardless of any open-looking level design, there's only one path through each level, with things such as a low fence or small pile of rubble impeding your ability to sneak up behind enemies.

The programmers should have spent more time improving the charge-then-squat AI routines instead of making each level artificially difficult by blending the soldiers into the background or adding dense fog to prevent you from strategically plotting your next move. Soliders may hit alarms if you wound them but don't notice when you blow away the guy 10 feet from them with your Thompson. There are a few missions where stealth is suggested but there's little need for it.

If you're looking for a more action related WW2 based FPS, grab Return to Castle Wolfenstein. For a much better WW2 Multiplayer FPS, grab BF:1942. Grab this one when it shows up in the bargain bin at your local game store.

Summary: Great Game!!!
Review: I find Medal of Honor is more realistic than many of the first person shooters out there. Plus, I like the historical WWII theme. I played the game through all the levels and that was lots of fun. I find the online play challenging too. Get this game if you like WWII, first person shooters and lots of action!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic WW2 Theme FPS
Review: This game is a lot of fun and I honesty can't think of any other game that makes you feel like you are IN a war. The D-Day level will send shivers down your spine and have you ducking imaginary bullets and mortar shells all day. WARNING: "Sniper Town" is a very tough level. I almost gave up on the game when I got to that point. It really makes you wish you had eyes in the back of your head. You'll see what I mean.

For Nazi killin' fun, MODAA is the best of the bunch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible game & graphics
Review: This is the most fun first person shooter out there. The graphics are incredible and the multiplayer is better than Half-Life. The missions are tough, but still fun. You do everything from fight on D-Day to driving a King Tiger Tank through occupied france to sabatoging the Nazi radar prototype. If you are looking for a game like Half-Life that has a great single player and better multiplayer, get Medal of Honor!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best shoot em up so far
Review: And once you are done with playing against the PC you go online and play thousands others (clans) among others that are less predictable than the game. A very fun game with lots of expansion possibilities both in mods and maps and weapons You wont go wrong with this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great fun for all!
Review: This game is incredibly fun and the graphics are amazing. You will need a new and beefy PC to run it (2.4 Ghz, very high end graphics card) but still, its great fun to sneak up on a german officer and pistol whip him in the head or sneak into a Nazi base and blow up a U-Boat. EA decided to get a "Teen" rating on this game, so I guess thats why they didn't add any blood, but there are PLENTY of cool patches out there that can fix this.

Pros:
-Incredible realistic graphics
-Incredible sound
-Very good multiplayer with varying mission types
-Very fun multiplayer (if you have a speedy connection)
-Hillarious easter eggs

Cons:
-The Nazi AI is so-so.
-AI has more abilities than you: You cant go prone, you can't lean around corners (in the single player), and you can't smack anyone you want with any gun, but the Nazis can.
-No knife (just one of those things. There is a pistol whip instead of a knife though)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great game
Review: what is this about the game being too hard. you must be horrible at video games because i beat it without a ton of trouble. there is an awesome level where you actually get to drive a tank. this game is very realistic. a must have for any computer gamer. graphics and gameplay are amazing
