Saving Private Ryan, the game

Many levels are set in the open, which is nice. Levels are huge and varied with nice weather effects. Buildings and interiors are very well designed and decorated, villages in ruins look fantastic. Nature does not look as good, with corridors between walls of vegetation. Even Hidden & Dangerous 1 had better so-called forests. Although the game uses the Quake 3 engine, it is a little more realistic. Reloading takes ages, and you cannot run under heavy fire, even on the easiest mode. Major qualities include shootings that feel epic and convey a strange feeling of realism. The major battle scenes of Saving Private Ryan are faithfully reenacted, with excerpts from the movie soundtrack. When I came across stolen papers, a disguise and alarms, I feared there would be stealth levels. There are no, the player can choose its strategy to complete levels, which is great. As for the downsides, the absence of blood looks weird. The D-Day mission is extremely short, I wish I played longer on the beach. The interface could have listed all levels (as in many other games) instead of auto-saving at checkpoints, which results in an endless list of saves.

NOT as good as 95% of these reviews say!

As for most of these "fanboy" written 5 star OMG OMG OMG this game is just sex. Gives me cheepies in my panties. Just Ignore them. And that's at least 95% of all the reviews written here. This game just IS NOT THAT GOOD!!!!! Overall is it only a "fair to middling" game. Far short of what I expected from the progenitor of such a long and successful series of later releases!!!!! I'll just give the pros and cons:- Pros - Storyline and other game texts are very well written - Mission design is mostly well done - The program is stable, not had a crash to desktop once on my PC..... yet...... - This edition seems the definitive version with all the official addons bundled in Cons - 3D GFX engine is below par, even for 2002..... I mean, in that year Half Life 2 was well on it's way - and it had 20x better 3D on it! MOH:AA is more comparable to the like of late 90's games such as Half Life 1, Unreal, Quake 2 etc - Also a LOT of glitches in those GFX too - possibly due to issues with such an old engine running on such a modern PC, maybe not something found back when the game was new - The SFX engine is flawed, distant enemies sometimes sound as if they're right on top you! - exceptions to the well designed missions exist..... such as the D-Day Beach Landing and mission set near Brest (Mission 5) with all the totally invisible snipers. You WILL need to cheat on those - even on Easy - which normally is WAY too easy!!!!! - others missions go for the utterly lame and infuriating trick of spawning enemies from thin air, behind you and at close range..... I HATE THAT!!!!! - you can't reach many seemingly open areas, seemingly gentle slopes are impassible, open roads and doorways have invisible forcefields - your squad mates AI is AWFUL - there AI is really just "if enemy seen then run right at them with willies in hand and shout shoot my dong please", which is problem when mission criteria mandates they don't get their dongs shot off..... Get the cheats, You WILL need them!

Call of Duty was better.

I recently revisited this and the original Call of Duty (2003) on a nostalgic whim. I have to say that Call of Duty is basically MOHAA, but better in every single way. Infinity Ward clearly learned from MOHAA's mistakes. The single player campaign for MOHAA is ruined by it's unfair difficulty. The AI has near-pinpoint accuracy and bullet-sponge levels of health. You'll shoot a German soldier multiple times with an M1 Garand, and somehow he'll only be "stumbled". Apparently Germans have skin made of kevlar - it's a miracle the allies won the war. The levels are poorly designed to the point where you have to rely on abusing quicksave to win. It doesn't help that you're doing most levels solo too, meaning all the enemy fire is directed straight at you. At least in CoD you had AI teammates who could actually soak up enemy fire and allow you to flank etc. In MOHAA it's just you versus the entire German army pretty much every level. I'm only rating this two stars for the soundtrack and the multiplayer. The multiplayer isn't as active as it used to be, but there's still some fun to be had if you can organize a big enough group of players. But even then, CoD still did it better.
