• Jimmy has been sent back behind enemy lines to steal the HO-IX flying wing, an experimental Nazi weapon

Description The Nazi invasion is in full swing, and you're the Lieutenant who's going to put a stop to it. Step into the shoes of Lt. Jimmy Patterson once again, sweeping across Europe to rescue the innocent and destroy the opposition. The 15 assignments range from saving captured OSS operatives from a Nazi-held Dutch manor house to dismantling a German naval base. Of course, all of the action takes place in detailed 3D; featuring some of the more amazing graphics you'll ever lay eyes on. Your job is a little too tough for any one man to pull off on his own, so you'll have a loyal group of soldiers and a slew of weaponry including the Liberator Pistol, Panzerschreck, MG42, and B.A.R. all of which will come to your aid in the heat of battle. Divided into five main missions, the gameplay is extensive and meticulously constructed, resulting in an experience that trumps earlier series installments. Special Features 15 assignments; five missions; awesome weaponry; 3D graphics; single-player action Warnings Animated Violence Details Players: 1 Player Controller: Gamepad,Joystick Memory Card: Yes(1)

The graphics most of the time look spectacular. Unfortunately a few times it did get choppy. The controls are completely customizable. There are several default choices or you can program each button individually. The sound effects and score are excellent and in Dolby Digital. To bad its not 5.1 though.

From the opening level I was hooked on this game. I could not stop playing. I found only two problems with this game. The first is that you cannot adjust the sensitivity of the analog controls. This isn't a major thing but it did take awhile to get used to. The second is that there are no multiplayer options. The game is not really that long and you should be able to go through it in a couple days easily. But the challenge is to get all the medals and that should keep you busy for a while. I think this is one of the top ten games available on PS2. All fans of first person shooters should pick this one up.

Excellent game but same AI and layout problems  Jun 19, 2002 By Brandon
Let me start by saying I think that the Medal of Honor series are my favorite games for the Playstation, being a huge WWII buff. I bought Frontline the day it came out, and it is a fantastic game, but I was a bit disappointed overall. The sound continues to be a great strength of the series, but the graphics are very similar to the last 2 MOH games. They are definitely better, but with the PS2 I was expecting more fluid movement. Also, I was hoping for a little more realism out of this one, but it still has the same problems as the last one--Germans stay standing and continue to fire after being shot in the chest or don't notice a bullet whiz by their ears, they catch and hold onto grenades while still firing, and seem to have no military training outside of returning fire (they never try to lay down a base of fire then flank you, they are very predictable in their movements, etc.) On top of this, the game is fairly easy to beat in a short time, and there is no multi-player, which was half the fun of the other ones. Don't get me wrong, I love this game and the series (and look forward to the next one), and I'd recommend anyone to get this game. But be advised that it is basically the same as the first one except it has a better look and sound to it--this is not an ultra-realistic game but well worth the price. For more WWII info: ...

another ps2 legend....  Jun 20, 2002
This is one of the best games i have ever seen on the PS2. Remember all the ps2 legends like GT3, GTA3, Meta Gear Solid 2, and all the other awesome games that cruddy microsoft or nintendo havent stolen yet? Well, this is one of them. I think the only reason some of these "not so smart" *cough* people who gave the game a 2 or 3 was because they didnt realize that this was a REALISTIC WAR GAME, not one of those shoot-em-ups like quake or unreal. this game takes place in WWII. If you are a huge shoot-em-up fan and think this game is one of them, ur badly mistaken. Other weirdos complain about the sound or the graphics. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THEM. The graphics in this game were the best i have seen in a long time for the ps2. I dont know how to describe it, you'll have to rent it and find out. The sound is very rich and well done. When you hear the planes bombing, the soldiers firing, and the tanks booming, and with the incredible sound quality of this game, it makes you think you really are in WWII. Remember at the end of allied assualt, it began on d-day, well frontline begins right on D-Day(I think the d-day mission is the best.) I have a lot of fun just playing the first mission on hard to make the game almost real, and try to see what it was really like in WW2. Trust me, If you buy this, you will NOT regret it.

Oh! The Humanity!!!  Jul 17, 2002 By TheBlarr
To those of you who are thinking about buying this game pay attention to the next sentance. Compare your expectations of this game to the arrival of the Hindenburg at Lakehurst N.J.
I for one had high hopes. I enjoyed the first MOH even though it was a bit simple. And I felt that with the PS 2 engine backing up the latest installment I would see considerable improvement across the board. WRONG!!
My first clue should have been the review emphasis on the graphics and sounds, but not much on the handeling. Paying no heed to that I bought the game the second I saw it in a store. That was a waste of (money). I could have rented it for(less), beat it with time to spare, and be less disapointed than I am now.
REALISM! That's a word I saw several times while I followed the development of this game in magazine articles. REAL looks. REAL sounds. REAL music. REAL weapons. We'll here's my take on the thing that REALLY counts in a game. The REAL playability.

Levels about as explorable as walking from one end of a pipe to the other. Even in "open country".

Germans that start shooting at you before you even look around the corner.

Multiple head shots to drop a bad guy. (With a .30-06, yea right)

Tossing a grenade into a room only to find that after it goes off everyone in there is just fine and ready to light you up.

Dropping someone with a suppressed pistol and immediatly taking fire from enemies so far away you can't even see them with the sniper rifle.

Seeing bad guys standing half way in a wall.

Riding in the back of a vehicle, but you can't crouch, so you get hosed by every yuckapuck out there.

Clearing out a dead end room or ally and then having to deal with six or eight more Germans coming from said place.

Seeing bad guys appear in front of you right out of thin air.

Putting a perfect head shot on someone only to discover that nothing happens because you are to far away for the game to let you engage them.

Couple all of these features to an aiming system that is even worse than the PS 1 version (expect to take 4-6 hits before you get your sights on target) and you have a game that will make you want to choke every one involved with it's creation.

I could spend hours bashing this game but since space is limited let me try to wrap this up.

If you want to fight in a tunnle against psychic Nazi's that can beam in from the Enterprise you will love this game.

For those of you that want a good FPS game get Red Faction. For a realy good FPS get Half Life (steath counts and it makes you think).

If you can read this thank you for checking out my whole review. Remember. If we settle for crap that is all they will make. Expect more from your games!

Addictive, certainly fun, but annoying and frustrating at the same time  Apr 05, 2006 By J. Remington "John Remington"
As I approach 40 years of old, I shudder with the appropriate self-loathing.

I was THAT parent. You know the type. The type that stands with their microbrew in hand, leaning against their Subaru, decked out in Eddie Bauer clothing, espousing such great holier-than-thou prophesies as, "My children will NEVER play video games. I will NEVER allow them in MY house."

Well we all know those proclamations rarely last.

After finding this in my son's collection- looking for something to try after winning my fifth National Title with EA's NCAA FOOTBALL- I finally beat the 19th and final level after 5 months.

Again, understand, I am not an expert on gaming and perhaps don't have the appropriate frame of reference to provide an expert opinion. All I can do is react to this product from a personal level.

I found the graphics fine, the sound effects and music excellent and the plot lines captivating. The 19 levels lead the player from D-Day through Arnheim Bridge and up through September of 1944. In the process the player takes out Machine Gun bunkers, U-Boats and their holding pens, frees towns, blows up trains and ultimately steals a flying wing.

The controls are relatively easy to master, the weapons fun and varied to manipulate ( I wish the shotgun was availble on more levels). The violence not graphic (no blood, exploding bodies and the like- it is at the level of a John Wayne WWII pot boiler) and the detail of the settings well rendered.

My major beef is that the levels often take too long to play (44 minutes is way too long to spend punching controls). Not being a skilled player, it took me quite a bit of time to get through a level. The frustrating and annoying thing being that if I "died" at toward the end of a lengthy level, I would have to go way back to the begining when I started over. So much for honey do's at times!

All in all, this is a fun, appropriately addictive game.
