Product Description
-------------------
Medal of Honor is the first game to bring gritty WWII action to
the PlayStation convincingly. The date is June 5, 1944, just one
day before D-Day, and the mission is to go behind enemy lines on
a series of search-and-rescue operations, commando raids, and
all-out battles. The 24 levels have been designed to
authentically recreate real period environments, while the 12
weapon types continue the realistic feel. Using such classics as
the Tommy and bazooka you must take on 20 different types of
enemy, from the Wehrmacht light infantry to the Nazi shock
troops, fighting in some inspired locations--from a U-Boat to a
V2 rocket . A split-screen option facilitates the two-player
mode, really bringing the shoot-'em-up element to the fore. And
if all that isn't enough to convince you of Medal of Honor's
pedigree, bear in mind that it comes from the Dreamworks stable,
home to a certain Mr Spielberg.
.co.uk Review
-------------
Those looking for a Saving Private Ryan (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004D36E/${0} ) interactive will be pleased
with this effort from the games division of Hollywood's
DreamWorks studio. Polished with the grit of great WWII films,
Medal of Honor shines brightly, despite the graphic limitations
of the PlayStation.
As US secret service officer James Patterson, you must embark on
highly dangerous missions, sometimes in the trenches, sometimes
undercover, but always alone and always eliminating the German
Nazi threat. The Nazis are equipped with the same weapons as you,
and they know how to use them. Throw a grenade and watch soldiers
scatter, or better yet kick a steel pineapple back in their
direction before it blows.
Missions are divided into challenging--but never
frustrating--levels that include infiltrating a U-boat pen,
destroying a war train while disguised as a German officer, or
powering through a group of nasty Gestapo in a quaint French
town. A mixture of stealth fighting and action bravado, using
each with prudence is essential for successfully completing
levels.
This game is full of suspense, in the way that a good
page-turner keeps you up at night. You'll be playing until the
end of the level, but when that comes, the briefing for the next
level is just too enticing to stop. --Jeff Young
Pros:* The best first-person shooter for the PlayStation
* An engaging plot, even for non-history buffs
* Outstanding music and sound design
Cons:* Graphics get blurry when close up

some walls
