Medal of Honor

oh sweet lord how i love this game!!i became obsessed with this game from the very first time i played it which must have been about five years ago when i was 13.my brother got medal of honour and moh underground in early 2002 and i played it non-stop!i remember about a year later i was doing whats called the junior cert(state exams taken in your third year of six years in secondary school) and about three weeks before we had our mock exams(practice runs for the real thing-but very important all the same) i got the chicken pox and was out of school for a week.i suppose i should have studied but all i did was play the two games(which i'd already completed) the whole time.i wanted to complete every level with 100% and i did-one of my greatest achievements that year!!!!

i think one of the best things about moh is the way the game is so historically accurate.the levels are based on real missions and the creators have obviously gone out of their way to recreate the series of events in each story and the places in particular.i ended up doing a project on the sabotage mission carried out by a group of men on a power plant in rjukan, norway.i cant remember if its in moh or moh underground but the plans and layout of the powerplant and surrounding area is flawless from what real pictures i've seen.that particular mission was so important because the powerplant was actually where Hitler was developing his own atomic bomb and he would have won the race had that mission not been successful and undoubtedly would have won the war.i never even knew about this story of such great importance until i played the level and subsequently found out it was real after watching a documentary but it was moh that told me the story first!

i've played every game since and i'm determined to buy every version of the game and complete them with 100% as well.every now and again i rent them out for a week at a time with a litre tub of ben and jerrys vanilla caramel fudge-my treat every few months or so and sure who really cares if my exams took some what of a hit!!

One unique game brought from world class director Steven Spielberg (loved his work) and his then popular studio Dreamworks. I couldn't get through much of the game, but Giacchino's orchestral theme and the visuals are fit for what Medal of Honor is. I'd give salute to developers and recommended this.

Medal Of Honor came out as a surprising title. The game is a first-person-shooter and takes place during World War 2 in the period between 1944 and 45 in locations in France, Norway and Germany.

You play an American soldier who is sent on missions to cripple Hitler-Germany. Like Goldeneye on the N64, you have lots of cool missions to perform, and there are more to the levels than just shooting like in Quake or Doom.

Unlike most other games in the genre, MOH has a storyline, which unfolds as you play the game. The graphics are very sharp and mostly flawless, but sometimes there are some slowdown and pop-up, but you`ll hardly notice. The gameplay is very good, and makes killing the Wehrmacht-troops a lot more enjoyable.

Being a Norwegian, I was happy to see genuine Norwegian language and Nazi-propaganda from the War, during the missions in Norway. Though I don`t understand why some doors in France had Norwegian text on them, but mostly, the developers have done a good job on this game.

If you want a quality first-person-shooter with a good storyline and cool missions instead of just lame shooting, Medal Of Honor is THE playstation-game to choose.

Recommended! 9/10

I'm in love with this game, this is Doom all over again. What's there not to say about this game, the A.I are smart, all the weapons are cool, and well everything else is good about this game.

PROS +Smart AI +Nice Weapons

CONS -Is Hard at times -Multiplayer is bad

Having just recently installed a PS1 emulator on my MacBook, I've explored the opportunity to explore an era of classic games that lasted before my birth. After watching Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", I became interested in exploring more content based on World War II. I had come to know that Spielberg had conceived the original Medal of Honor game as a hybrid of the classic FPS game "Goldeneye N64", with the setting of WWII Europe. I had immediately gotten hold of this game and haven't been able to set it down until I had completed the entire story campaign.

This is one of the few games that I felt was worth completing the entire single-player campaign, given my reluctance to waste time playing dispassionately-developed games. The passion Spielberg has for WWII stories and experiences, radiates in this game as it does in his films.

Speaking of experience, the game combines its well-constructed elements of game-control, sound-design, level-design, Artificial-Intelligence and musical score to deliver a thrilling and memorable experience for the player. The atmosphere in this game ranges from suspenseful stealth to powerful intensity, especially with the realistic sound-design of guns and explosions and the excellent mood-setting musical score.

Needless to say, this is a 10/10 game. I have no complaints with this game, as it's well made with no bugs or glitches. Given how innovative this game was at the time, I highly suggest avid gamers and WWII enthusiasts to check this game out. I'm glad that games like these are immortalised with the help of emulators, and I honestly can't wait to play the next installment: Medal of Honor: Underground.
