 World War II Combat!!! August 6, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
By far, this is one of the best war-games I have played yet! I was quickly fascinated with the first two Medal of Honor games, which were also outstanding. This surpasses both in overall quality, with stellar graphics and savage game-play! In this game, the hero, OSS agent Lt. Patterson, infiltrates a number of Wehrmacht and S.S. facilities to sabotage enemy equipment and weaponry. Eventually he is sent to assasinate an S.S. general and steal the Horton jet-fighter prototype. The action takes place in France, Netherlands, and Germany. Those who developed the concept have done their research! If you think that a one-man mission into enemy territory is theatrical exageration...think again:
-The game features a mission which requires you to cross the Niijmegan bridge to Ahrnem. An 82nd Airborne soldier, Ted Bachenheimer really did infiltrate the enemy-occupied Niijmegan Bridge, and cross it, all by himself! He was a bilingual German-American! On the other side, he met a group of Dutch resistance fighters and led them. Bachenheimer was a veteran of many such solo missions, in Italy.
-Anders Lassen, a Danish volunteer in the British Naval Commandos, was notorious for his ability to infiltrate enemy command centers and eliminate the personnel single-handedly! They called him "the Terrible Viking".
-There are many other such historical characters of similar prowess.
The only criticism of the game, and it is minor, is that the sound-track is a bit cheesy and mellow-dramatic at times (specifically: a really irritating boys' choir), but you can turn off the music. The game graphics are superb!

This games is kind of my introduction to first person shooters. I haven't really gotten into any other game. As soon as I started out on de first mission, i was captivated. I got a great feel for the game. The gameplay was outstanding, you really feel as if you are there satanding with a rifle and losing aim because of nearby explotions and stuff like that. The other great thing is that you have different difficulty settings. I played it on normal, but if you are just trying to have some fun you should try it on easy. If you are just looking for a great challenge, you should play the game on hard. Also, it is very hard to get stuck in the game because they give you little hints as you go so the game never gets repetitive. The A.I. is pretty realistic. I wouldn't say it is outstanding but it is not predictable or stupid. Just a tip: do two thumb controls, trust me it is way more fun. Another way to tell you how much this game wraps you in, I ended up in the edge of my seat almost shaking as soon as the missions were over. Now, let's talk multiplayer. I haven't played much multiplayer but the little I have played, I wouldn't say it is the best part of the game. If you are into multiplayer, I would recommend that you buy something else. The areas were you play are very concealed, meaning there is like rubble or something that just kind of shuts off the map. Another downside is that you can't get the A.I. to join in on the game so if you only got 2 controllers, it will get kind of boring (lot of akward silent moments). So here is the finalscore sheet:
Graphics:8/10
Gameplay: 9.5/10
Story:5/10
Missions:8/10
A.I.:7/10
Multiplayer:4/10
Over All:7/10
This game is definetly a MUST HAVE.
+ Can try and get gold medals on all missions (good length)
+ Very good missions and gameplay
- Not quite there on multiplayer
- And not much of a story

I bought MOH:RS before this and was pleased with MOH:RS, then I found out there was Frontline.
One day as I walked by Game in Buchanan Street on the way to the office, and like a beam of hallowed light I noticed a 2nd hand copy for 7.99, took it home and played it literally to the death.
It has great parts of realism like landing on the beach and running through the Dutch countryside like John Wayne on a mission, the hakenkreuz's are all present and correct and the uniforms are spot on, specially the snipers on the bridge with the mask. There is also Salvador Dali realism (surrealism) as mentioned by another reviewer tackling a building of Wehrmacht with only a silencer is not the done thing or taking out a Panzer with an MG42 or the last mission, but you'll see what I mean when you get there.
My favourite is the Nijmegen to Arnhem mission, it is just something else, great musical score and very realistic.
I may be the only person who is better with a Springfield sniper rifle than a Thompson...also took me a while to figure out how to save the guy who lands on the Windmill...
Great game and I am still playing nearly 2 years on from owning it.

I just picked this up because I like war games and it was my (...). It was this or the original splinter cell. WOW! The first level took me forever and I thought the game was gonna suck but then I got past it and i could not stop playing finally my friends came over and i realized i had been playing for almost 3 HOURS! It is very accurate according to history and has many quotes. My favorite is easily 'And when he gets to Heaven To Saint Peter he will tell: One more soldier reporting, Sir -- I've served my time in Hell' it is a beautiful game and you should definitely pick it up.
