I think all these glowing reviews come through nostalgia, not any real review of the game. I've played some stinkers, but this one is pretty damn high on that list. Nothing says shit game like taking a sniper shot from hiding, and having every enemy on the map respond with instant, 100% accurate return fire. That alone makes this one unworthy of playing, but when you add in "just follow me" gameplay, reload times that take longer than just switching weapons and broken physics, you end up with a steaming pile of crap called Medal of Honor: Allies ASSault. Don't waste your money.
This is a fun game, but it has hands down the worst secrets of any game ever made. Seriously, they're so ridiculous, hard to find and unrewarding that it's not even worth trying. Half of them are behind doors that don't open until you finish the level, then all they give you is ammo. Since there's nothing left to kill and ammo doesn't carry over to the next level, these are essentially worthless. Then there are secrets that you can only get to by moving an explosive barrel next to an otherwise unmarked, innocuous wall and explode it. Just how the hell, besides cheats and walkthrough, am I supposed to know that? Idiots! Oh, and the wagon. You have to push this damn wagon around and try to inexpertly position it in the right spots so you can perform an arcane acrobatic ritual and use it to propel you onto a high ledge. What, was the standard model, frustrating as shit jumping puzzle too tired, so much that they had to make it even harder, all just so I can get a single box of ammo? God damn stupid, that's what the secrets in this game are, and someone needs to be retroactively beaten for them. Other than that it's a fun game. :)
