A time where a PC version could be bad

I was blessed to start this franchise on Gamecube with Medal of Honor: Frontline, developed by E.A Los Angeles. Just think about it: After the famous speech of Dwight D. Eisenhower you start the game on Omaha beach just like in Saving Private Ryan. The payers, the fear , the fight that starts when you get knocked into the sea by an artillery strike. Bullets cutting through water and hitting your brothers in arms. Running behind cover and shooting the gun nests when sergents screams for covering fire... One of the best gaming experience I had in my life. Medal of Honor: War Chest ( or Allied Assault) is, however, a huge disapointment. Especially compared to Frontline released on Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox that same year of 2002 but developped by another team. Missions order is ridiculous compared to Frontline. Here Africa, Northern Europe, Omaha beach ?! Breaks totally the intensity, the thrill of sucess of behing a trooper promoted to a special agent behind enemy lines. They didn't even took time to show your character the Lt. Powell, contrary to Frontline where you can see the ID of Jimmy Patterson. Difficulty is insane, the AI throw you swarms of enemies, Trondheim in Norway you have to kill hundreds of nazis that shoots homing bullets. Or bugs and simply awfull design, like at Omaha beach where instead of Frontline, you advance without being able to see the bunkers (with a fog at 20-30 meters that vanishes when you reach them). So you can't provide a covering fire, leaving the stupid AI shoot , like this hilarious moment when a sergent order to fire and two guys do it just right behind his head ! By talking about heads, characters models are uggly especially for Allied troops who are clones. Comrades hinding in artillery craters who looks the same.. soldiers who hold their rifle in a weird angle that cut their arms... stupide face animations... great for immersion ! Seriously Medal of Honor: War Chest is bad. Frontline was far more polished that this one. Same case on another excellent title: James Bond- Night Fire. Where you must forget the Pc and go grab the console version. Proof of a Time where Pc ports could be bad.... N.B: Two stars for the music.

Wonderful Classic

I grew up playing the Medal of Honor series; starting with the original on the PS1. The main studio behind the first game was under Dreamworks working alongside Steven Spielberg. Spielberg basically helped create an interactive version of his big film Saving Private Ryan. Some years after the original and its small sequel Underground, EA wanted to move the franchise to the PC. Allied Assault (along with the expansions) is a fantastic work of art. The soundtrack is amazing, especially for the time released. The overall game hasn't really aged well, but still holds up. I highly recommend starting the game on Easy so you can learn the layout of the levels and objectives since it gets really difficult closer to the end; even in the expansions, there's some escort missions where if you're not paying attention you can fail the objective since an ally died. There are some compatibility issues. There are some guides on GOG and elsewhere if you need some help getting the game to run. If you want a minor graphical upgrade, I suggest looking up the mod on ModDB. Overall, my rating stands at 4/5. It would be at a five, but the compatibility issues and random difficulty spikes make it fall short of perfection. I still recommend the game to anyone that's looking for an all time classic that basically help spawn other franchises that we also love and hate.

Good rather than great

The game has some truly amazing moments and incredible atmosphere, especially the D-DAY landing sequence. However, it also has some big failings, such as it's poor draw distance. I ended up deleting the game after failing miserably in the street battle, where enemy snipers would quickly kill you, before they were visible or had even been rendered on the screen. Kudos to those with the patience to get past that level, but it became too much of a chore to continue without enjoying it.

Simple, yet fun WWII FPS

Years after being tired of the saturation of WWII FPS games in the market and seeing Call of Duty: World at War as a swan song for the genre, the itch to play such games as come back at the right time, and MOH: Allied Assault is a good way to get back in. It may not wooh those who have loved games that succeeded it and improved upon it's ideas, it's simple to pick up and get used to, and once started, it's a joy to play through. Plus, it's cheap and comes included with two expansions. My only complaints would be the lack of proper widescreen support (although it's perfectly playable in 4:3) and may be a bit on the easy end for many.
