A Piece of History, for better or Worse

Firstly, I have many fond memories of the Medal of Honor series and Allied Assault is perhaps one of the finest examples of the franchise. The theming, aesthetics and atmosphere are remarkable considering the games age. Very few games, and even more modern takes on this genre fail to really capture the feeling of 1940's warfare. With an excellent ambient soundtrack, solid sound design and surprisingly good voice over and acting work, this title excels at delivering the look and feel of WW2. . With a mix of run and gun combat, stealth and espionage as you steal documents and sabotage tanks, guns and ammo caches and even the epic set piece of D-Day, these are timeless monuments to what PC gaming and FPS games had achieved back in the day. Disguising as a German officer and sneaking aboard a submarine, sneaking through in the darkness of night and avoiding spotlights while you weave your way deep into enemy territory. These were outstanding gaming memories when I was a youth and a lot of it holds up shockingly well even today. However, even nostalgia and the memories of my most formative experiences with gaming can not hide some of the issues of a game that has aged well in some areas and very poorly in others. By the time Mission 5 rolls around and you're in the last half of the game, the issues become too frustrating to be considered fun, even from a gaming veteran who prefers old and difficult games. The infamous "Sniper Town" level will lift the veil and the game will cease to have much fun left in it. The enemies carry snipers, do not miss, and know where you are 100 percent of the time. The games limited draw distance and graphical fidelity means it is nearly impossible to progress without quicksave cheesing and memorization of enemy locations. Combine with the fact that some sections have teleporting and infinitely spawning troops means that any sort of fun and engaging difficulty has been replaced with cheap shots and frustration.

A Classic That Should Get A Remaster

I love this game a lot. It's one of my favorite childhood games. But unfortunately, given how classic games like this one just get older and technology only goes forward, it is becoming harder to run games like this without its set of technical issues. While I do have the patience to troubleshoot my old games, I'm sure many will find it frustrating to play and find out that something may be wrong graphically or sound wise. I just hope you give it a chance if you have not played this gem of a game yet.

Amazing Classic

If you have never played MOH, please, PLEASE DO IT! I have a lot of memories with this game, all the rage when I was little and playing it with my mom and dad. Good times, create some for yourself too! You will not be disappointed!

At first meh, later a lot of fun

I wanted to play this classic for the first time. And when this game was on sale i bought it. I can tell you, that the main game feels really frustrating. Enemys spawn behind you and hit you every time, very inaccurate weapons and very slow change of weapons. But the addons are, where the fun is. They feel like completely different games. Everything that the main game did wrong, those two do much better. Spearhead was almost like an old Call of Duty and Breakthrough was sometimes really challenging (no HP packs, no additional ammo). I would still recommend, that you try out the main game first, to really enjoy the two addons after this.

This Game is Very Good!

I bought the game, emotion from beginning to end. Lots of action, and the story leaves us wanting to know what will come next. This is the last game written by Steven Spielberg, and I expected nothing less. The game, despite having been released just over 20 years ago, is still a great game. There's a part of the game that's based on another great piece of work by Steven Spielberg. The Movie "Rescue private ryan". A pity that after this game, Spielberg did not work on more games in the franchise. And a pity she was also put in the fridge.
