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.
