Medal of Honor: Frontline

EA Games have released many games that they can be proud of, but this one beats them all. Medal of Honor Frontline lets you experience a war that was the worst of its kind. We don't want to experience a real war, just get an idea what it would have been like for the people who had to live and breathe the ups and downs of war. This game captures that perfectly. The graphics are excellent, with the smallest details adding to the splendor. Crystal-clear sound puts you in the mood most people would have felt back in the 1940's. The gameplay is superb, with you taking the role as Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson, who is enlisted with the US Army. Overall, this game ITSELF deserves a Medal of Honor.

This was the title that made me go out and get a PS2, and it has paid off. The game is a gripping, sometimes frightening ride through several scenarios of WWII. It is a marked improvement in every way from the PS1 installments. Those who have played the 1st two games will see some familiar sequences. The submarine pen mission from MOH I was, in many ways, copied over and updated. Still, the enhanced rendering of characters, weapons and environments more than makes up for the overall familiar feel of the level. The 1st(D-day) 3rd and 4th "campaigns" are simply stunning, and I'm still playing!. Your "squad" members, more than any other video game, are interactive elements in the action, taking initiative and often leading the way. I thought the design of the campaigns were much more in line with what a high level operative might be asked to do (aside from the massive kill ratio). For instance, sabotaging a bridge or rescuing a captured operative are much more realistic than say, the single handed destruction of the Nazi atomic program such as in MOH 1 and 2. Dont get me wrong, the action is still fast and furious, and the more numerous enemies in Frontline will keep you on your toes, even on the easy level. An interesting point, the weapons have become less accurate in this installment (the barrels rise sharply on weapons with full auto), and reload time has actually increased. I thought this added to the realism of the game rather than detracted from it. the sound effects are better than ever, and I suggest, for a few levels at least, turning off the music (which is very good) to get the full range of sound effects. I highly recommend MOH Frontline, any fan of first person games cannot miss this one.

Frontline is what all first person shooter games aspire to be. This game rules. It's very challenging but with practice you can beat it even on hard like I finally did. The extensive research that was put into this game pays off and makes this game very real indeed. The weapons are very cool and accurate. Accurate as in close to the real thing. The full auto weapons have a tendency to climb. All in all a great game and one that you can play for a long time even after beating it without getting bored. Bottom Line: Until Halo 2 comes out this has to be the best first person shooter.

When you think of World War Two, you think of the bloody beaches of Normandy, the shattered villages of rural France, and the plotting resistance pin-pricking German positions. And this is exactly what this game delivers.

The game-play is - in a good way - typical of a first person shooter. The range of weapons is very realistic as well. The story portrays you as Jim Patterson, a private in the U.S. army, picked for a series of undercover missions across undercover France.

The only let down is the fact that you can't play 2 player. But other than that, a brilliant game. Seeing as it's quite an old game now, you can pick it up in most game stores for under £25.

A real gem. 9/10

Medal of Honor Frontline is probably one of the coolest games ever made. You are Jimmy Patterson, a US soldier who must fight off the nazis and do all sorts of missions. The only thing I have against this game is that its pretty aggravating to climb ladders and fall off every single time. The missions are just awesome and you get to play with all sorts of guns.

Overall the game is awesome and you will love it. Rating A+++. (Tied for best game)
