Everyone who liked Medal of Honor must buy this games. Underground is even better. More powerful weapons, bigger levels and the enemies are acting more real then in the first MoH. Medal of Honor Undergound is awesome!

If you liked the 1st you'll love the 2nd

The sequel to the original Medal of Honor delivers in almost every respect. Intuitive gameplay, great graphics and cunning AI. I can't recommend this game any more.

I played the originial and this is even better. It has even more weapons, heightened enemy AI, AI buddies, and as with the originial, outstanding realism and sound. The enemies will use motorcycles, half-tracks, and tanks to their advantage. The sound is absolutly amazing and the levels are layed out very well. The graphics aren't the best you'd expect in an almost perfect game, but they still look great. I highly suggest you buy this game. ...

Vive La France!! (and this game too!!)

WOW!! The guys at EA did it again! Forget the notion that sequels never live up to the original. MOHU doesn't skip a beat as compared to the first MOH. The idea of playing a female French Resistance agent is a fresh notion, and it provides an excellent game premise. As Manon, you begin as a lowly French Resistance fighter in Paris. Shortly after that, you get recruited by the American OSS (WWII version of the CIA), who provides you with the chance to visit exotic locales and cripple Hitler's war machine by covert (and sometimes not so covert) means. The game designers really did their homework when researching weapons and theaters of operations. However, there are a few slight mistakes. First, German troops did not use the British Sten 9mm sub-machinegun. Panzerfausts (that are used in the early game levels) did not come until later in the war, German hand grenades would not kill a Panzer IV tank, (unless you were really lucky), and what the heck is a "Big Joe Crossbow?" But, they did make the heavy German machine guns look like MG42s, unlike the American .30 caliber M1919 in MOH. Also, you get to use old WWI-vintage Hotchkiss M1914 machine guns, which were prized by the French freedom-fighters during the war. Choices in weapons are really good, and it adds more flavor to the game. My personal favorite is the STG44 "Sturmgewehr" assault rifle. Also, the new "disguise" feature is very slick. With this new feature, you assume the role of a German propaganda photographer. When soldiers let down their guard for a goofy pose, you have a second or two to pop them in the skull with your suppressed pistol. Graphics can be grainy at times, and up close, enemy troops look simply awful. The cure for that is don't let 'em get that close!! Seriously, the Playstation is showing it's age, and this game really squeezes everything out it can. Controls are the same as MOH, so old vets will have no trouble tackling the Third Reich. Sound and music is just as good (if not a little better) than MOH, and the missions are just as challenging and pulse-quickening. However, the Germans are better shots this time, so be ready to duck and return fire quicker. All in all, this is great game, and MOH vets are again in for a wonderful treat.

The Fight Continues!

If you remember the previous problems of MEDAL OF HONOR, like horribly choppish graphics and just some pesky peeves. Then forget em' all. MOH2 is all newly refined featuring more powerfully geared engines. Like riding a motorcycle and firing from it, and having your Frech Resistance allies next to you in the fight.

The enemy AI is stunning with new abilities like jumping over walls, to guarantee a new approach every time you play.

The new weapons consist of crossbows, Molotov Cocktails, and a Panzerfaust. Plus a camera when you go undercover as a NAZI propaganda photographer. Where the enemies stike hilarious poses to keep you laughing for hours.

THE STORY

Once again you are a WWII OSS undercover agent working against those stinky NAZIS. In MOH remember the girl that briefed you before missios? Well you play her in the game, but it is a prequel because this was before she escaped from Occupied France to america. So Jimmy Patterson has not even been found by the OSS yet. You have to fight your way through france as a member of the frech resistance fo the freedom of every man and woman alive.

Are you ready to rise above the call of duty?

Pretty Much the Same as Before...

... so in other words, it's "Superb!" I can't give it 5 stars because there isn't much improvement in graphics or gameplay. They could've just issued this game out with the original Medal of Honor as disc 2 and you wouldn't know the difference.

However, the story line is great and the suspense in gameplay is as intense as before. There are some new weapons and AI buddies that fight with you briefly during some missions. Enemies are pretty much the same but with different vehicles and modes of destruction. Other than that, you've got the same game. The music once again enhances the action on the screen. Sound effects are untouchable as well.

If you liked the original Medal of Honor, pick this game up.

Main gripe: Kind of easy like the first one. You'll probably finish it in a week or so. If you want to save money but enjoy the game, rent it a few times.

Vive ' le France and vive le resistance!

No Jimmy Patterson in this game instead you are Manon, a young french girl recruited into the french resistance after her brother is killed by the nazis. The game play is more realistic in this second installment remember how the nazis would practically stand still and let you shoot them in the first one not in this one they actually use squad manuvers and practice suppressing fire and cross fire tactics you feel like your up against real thinking soliders instead of walking targets at the gun range. The story line is as good as the first,and at the end of the game you might even run into an old buddy from the first installment. It will leave you wanting for a third version of the game heres a few suggestions maybe a Pacific theatre version or even one letting you play as the germans.

Same Shoot 'em up but diverse story

The most lucratively designed unexpected bash of my life. The first time I played this game was in the summer of 98 which at first sight was already an on the edge thought. I didn't mind much for the history lesson and was a little disappointed, because of the absence of blood. Other then the graphics which were alittle pathetic when you gaze at the moon. North Africa, Greece, Italy, and the Fatherland (Germany), are the destinations for Manon. France style combat, with head to head conflicts with the friendly Nazis. Tank, Half-tracks, motorcycles, and stuka bombing raids, are all part of the fun of Steven Spielberg's vision of World War 2.

The Greatest Shoot 'em game on the Playstation!

This game is like the first Medal of Honour with new levels, weapons and bad guys. If you liked the first game, you will love this one.

One little problem, if you were good in the last game and played it as addictively as I did then the game will be a piece of cake and before you know it you'll finish it! But the kinds of levels you go through and the kind of bad guys you battle will make it all worth it.

AI has not really been introduced in the game, it's just that bad guys can pop up from anywhere, out of trucks, jump over walls, hide behind trees, and jump off balconies. The motorbiks levels are really awesome and you can fight alongside your fellow brothers.

The best part of the first game, the undercover missions, are preserved in this game as well. You pose as a photographer early on int hte game. You still have the silenced pistol and when they ask for your ID and turn around.... they're outta here.

The two player mode has a wider selection of weapons and larger levels. It's definately impoved from the last game.

Overall a really good game, much like the old Medal of Honour with some new features.

Himmler, Hitler, Nazis! Oh my!

Medal of Honor was addictive WWII intesnsity. MoH Underground is just that much more intense, and in turn, that much more impressive! With exhilerating and heroic music by Micheal Giacchino over layed by the whistle and thump of bullets and foreign shout of the Germans, MoHU is not much different in its graphics... but who really cares!? Why bother to fix what isn't broken? The control, while it takes a little while to get used to, is smooth and responsive, and the multiplayer mode takes the Panzerfaust to Rare's Perfect Dark. This game really gives you a sense of respect for those who actually went through it. So, don't wait, enlist today!
