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.
