Titan of its Time
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is truly one of the greats. That is not superfluity. This review is my homage to a piece of art that has had a major influence on my life. Playing this game during the formative years of my youth ignited within me a fascination for studying the history of World War II. If you did not play it "back in the day", you'll need to lower your expectations a bit. The graphics and mechanics are both outdated: no aim-down-sights, for instance. Once you are able to look past the "flaws" of an 18-year-old game, the brilliance that practically created a genre will become obvious. This game is a large slice of glorious nostalgia cake. Giacchino's soundtrack in the main menu room - not to mention throughout the game - is worth the price all by itself. In fact, the audio engineering in general is fantastic. There are soundbites that a friend and I still regularly use: "he's taking too long!" Then there are the memorable campaign moments...too many to list. The classic Omaha Beach landing has been mentioned by other reviewers, so instead I'll tell you my personal favorite: the undercover mission in the submarine pens of Norway ("papiere, bitte!"). Fun little hidden gem: in the room with 3 Germans playing cards at a table, look out the large windows to see two mechanics down below. Press the "use" key while your reticle is on them and watch what happens. ;) The online multiplayer community is still very active and fairly large. You can view the server list by patching with x-null's browser fix. As for my friends and I, we still host regular LAN parties that always include a few rounds of MOHAA on Stalingrad. Thanks for the memories, old friend.
