Raging Combat Action

Allied assault delivers! First person action, causing one to think on his or her toes! As an Army Sergeant, I highly recommend this action game! I enjoy the realism of the period weapons and the fact that your team can and often does get injured or killed off. Often, the missions are no easy task. You learn as you go along. You must think tactically to achieve the goals. You will realize this when at first you see how difficult it is to get of that damned beach! Once you do make it, you know you have acheived something. This is in no way as difficult as actual combat, but it feels pretty genuine once the bullets start to fly in your direction. You have received your orders! Defeat the Germans at all costs!

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, a great WWII Game!

Get this game even if you aren't a fan of WWII! I have played this game non-stop since Christmas of 2003. The single player is addicting and some missions, once you beat the game, you will want to play again! The Omaha Beach level is just incredible! The gunfire, and the shouts and screams is just amazing. I still play this game regularly, especially Omaha Beach! And for people who say that Call of Duty is better, all I have to say is get both (since both are cheap) and see which one you like better. Both are great games, and well worth however much you pay for them. Hope you found my review helpful!

This is the best game I have ever played. If you turn the graphics on high the game might slow down a little bit. Although i'm stuck on "The Bridge Crossing" when you call in air strikes. The graphics are incredibley good. The people are also very good. The lip-synching is perfect. If your into first-person World War II shooters

-THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU-

MOHAA Is The Best MOH Game!!!!

MOHAA rocks! The graphics are awesome! You have over 20 realistic weapons to choose from. If you have played this before, you probably like the level where you disaguise yourself as a Nazi and destroy their prototype! I love that level! BUY THIS GAME!!!

Puts you right there on the beach

MOHAA is an excellent World War II FPS. I personally like it better than Return to Castle Wolfenstein just because its so much more realistic. No zombies or whatnot in this one. The graphics could be a bit more refined but still they are very good. I was reading some of the other reviews and I noticed people saying that lines were taken directly out of Saving Private Ryan from the d-day scene. This is true. In fact its almost funny how similar the d-day part is to the d-day part in Private Ryan. Its not just the dialouge either, its also the events. You reach the top of the beach, blow the shingles, go through, snipe the Germans hiding behind the sandbags (sound familiar?).
I was dissapointed also with the lack of blood. Blood and even dismemberment would have made this game so real. It would have put you into world war II (..or saving private ryan).
Graphics and gameplay aside, the sound is terrific. I loved the effects and just switching weapons was a joy for me (I don't know why but I have a thing with sound effects and sound quality). Overall this game is an extremely good WWII shooter and if you are into WWII... this game is for you.

PLEASE read this if are thinking about buying it

If you want a World War II game where you are part of an army in an attack with tanks and vehicles to an enemy occupied village, or to be in the middle of a battlefield where two large armies meet, buy "Call of Duty", not this game. This game is a terrible mix of Rambo with James Bond.

If you have decided to buy Call of Duty, you don't need to read the following. If you still have doubts, keep reading please, I'll explain why I think this game is a bad mix of Rambo with 007.

In every mission and level, except one, you are sent to infiltrate German forts, laboratories, headquarters and places of the like. You go ALONE, except for a couple of levels where a soldier goes with you. That'd be fine, you may think, but it's not. Only in 2 levels you wear a German uniform and pass unnoticed. In the rest, you have to enter shooting like Rambo, plant bombs and steal documents, then run away with all the Germans chasing you, and when you exit the place, the bombs blow up and you can see the explosion behind you just like in a James Bond movie.

That may sound fun, but it's not. All these German forts/places have alarms, and if someone sees you the alarm will sound and hordes of Germans will appear 2 feet away from you. It's frustrating, not fun. Instead of appreciating the environement, you will be sweating, and when you get killed or spotted, expect lots of hair pulling.

It gets worse. In some of these missions a soldier/agent will go with you and you have to protect him. If he dies, you will fail the mission. It'd be ok, but this agent always run into the Germans, doesn't take cover, and doesn't run away from gernades.

You can't choose how to approach the target you're given, or select what strategy to use; Instead, you go from point A to point B (like going trough a tunnel, even in the so called "Open spaces") all the way.

You can't choose what weapon to use; For example, if you have an american sub-machine gun and want to switch it for a German sub-machine gun (Which is a lot better) you can't.

You get to ride in a jeep and in a tank. However, these rides are so staged that you'll think you're in a disney ride instead of WWII. Also, when you're in the jeep, you can't duck to take cover, so you get killed every 2 minutes even on the "Easy difficulty".

Your allies are so stupid and weak that you can have 1 or 20 of them and it won't make a difference. They don't use bazookas, throw grenades, or work cordinated. They just shoot to the nearest German, and if the Germans are far away, they'll try to reach them, exposing themselves to enemy fire, and frustrating your attempts of saving them.

This game is so UNREALISTIC. You can't go stealth and you can't sneak into the enemy forts/places. Thus, you have to enter shooting like Rambo and you end up killing 80+ germans per level ALONE. In this game you use the guns and not your head.

You never, NEVER, enter Germany. What the game box says is a lie. All you do in the last mission is destroy a target in the border between France and Germany, not in the "heart of nazi germany".

If you're reading this, thank you for reading my entire review. Again, if you want a good WWII first person shooter, buy Call of Duty. What you'll say after finishing Allied Assault is not "WOW! look at that", is "Mmm... this is it?".

What a nightmare.This game is not for those who just want to load and play! The game will crash on you and EA must know theres a problem because they even have a "safe" mode to use if you crashed once when signing on.
I managed to get through basic training only to have the thing crash again when I went to start the first mission.

I have a Pentium 3 Gateway with beefed up ram (custom added for gaming) and still have system crashes with this game,which has never happened before. The game looks very promising but I urge those of you who are undecided to wait until EA gets the bugs out of this nightmare before purchasing it.

Nice Graphics, but gameplay is frustrating and full of flaws

The game play is very linear. There is a specific 'script' that has to be followed in order to successfully complete each mission. Any deviation from the script means failure.

Even on the easiest level, some portions of the missions are very difficult to complete, if not near impossible. For example, getting through Omaha Beach took dozens of tries before I was successful. Getting up the beach through the machine gun fire was hard enough, but navigating the mine field was almost impossible. This made this part of the game very frustrating, and not very enjoyable for me. But because the missions must be completed in order, I could not move on to another mission until I successfully solved the current one.

On some missions, you have other soldiers with you to help you complete the mission. But you cannot give orders to those soldiers, (such as cover me, or guard my right flank), they do what they 'want' to do and are of limited usefulness. Occasionally, they even get in the way and are detrimental. Maybe that is why the game designers made 'friendly fire' not harmful (I have not decided whether this is a good feature or a bad).

On the positive side, the graphics are excellent and the music really adds to the game.

Overrated.

While this game isn't exactly worthless (it has very good graphics and a nice atmosphere), it is WAY overrated. I had heard that this was a great game, so I was really excited when one of my friends let me borrow it. Once I started playing it, however, I quickly went from unimpressed to simply disappointed.

This game is really just a run-of-the-mill first person shooter that happens to take place during WWII. You never actually feel like you're in the middle of a war. Rather, you are running around on secret missions, blowing stuff up and fighting ridiculous numbers of enemies all by yourself, just like 007 in "Nightfire" (hey, another crummy title from EA games!) There's nothing really wrong with that, it's just that the game is called "Allied Assault" not "One-man Assault" so you'd think it would be more of a war game. You do get allies on occaision, but they are incredibly pathetic and stupid and always get themselves shot as soon as they can.

Apart from allies that don't help you, this game is filled with guns that don't fire when you need them to. That gets kind of annoying, since it seems that you have to empty an entire clip into a bad guy to kill him. And yet another really annoying thing about this game: there is absolutely no blood of any kind! I don't understand this. There have been many games that include blood and have have still recieved a "T" rating. The reason that the lack of blood is so irritating is that when you shoot at the bad guys, you can't tell if you hit them or not! I can fire several rounds at a Nazi and he'll just be standing there like nothing happened. When you actually do hit the bad guys, they simply fall over... and if you havn't hit them enough times, they get right back up! Again, this reminds me of "Nightfire," that 007 game in which there is no blood and you end up wasting a whole machine gun clip on one guy because you can't tell if you hit him or not ("Nightfire," I must say again, is a terrible game, much worse than "Allied Assault." Ian Fleming was probably turning over in his grave when they realeased it.)

What else can I say? Oh yeah, the controls suck! And you can forget about using stealth. The game tries to make you think that you can be sneaky and use your brain when you play, but in reality, since there is no way to use stealth, you have to just run and gun your way through the levels while getting shot time after time by your enemies. There is really no way to avoid getting shot. The pattern that you have to use is this: shoot, get shot, and then find the health packs that are conveniently lying around everywhere you go.

But what annoyed me MOST OF ALL was that for multiplayer, you have to use Gamespy. Now, tell me: why should anyone have to pay extra money to subscribe to Gamespy when they've already coughed up 30 to 50 bucks for "Medal of Honor"? That brings me to my next point. I am glad that my friend let me borrow this game and that I didn't cough up ANY money to play it!
