I was never a big fan of first person shooters. That is until I was introduced to the Medal of Honor series. And as you would expect from a person like me, I was curious. And I just recently purchased Medal of Honor: Frontline for the Nintendo Gamecube. The game, unfortunately didn't come with an instruction booklet (I got it from Gamestop not Amazon), so getting to know the controls were a tad of a challenge, but you should get used to them quite easily. Anyways, as I was saying I didn't quite know what to expect from the WWII shooter. Luckily I was pleasently impressed.
First off, the graphics were PRETTY good. Considering the game was made in 2002, you wouldn't expect them to be perfect. The problem I have is that a lot of people judge a game on graphics, let alone the more important gameplay. So hopefully you haven't spaced out on me yet. Just remember that I'm here to persuade you to buy the game and not to drive you away from it.
The controls are good, and an improvement over the earlier installments of the Medal of Honor games. Unlike the earlier games, you will use the left analog stick to aim your selected weapon (cool, huh!). Movement is pretty general. You simply move the main analog stick to walk/run. Press or hold R to shoot, and then you have the general controls for crouch, jump, reload, and the action button (A).
The gameplay is top notch for a first person shooter game. The game starts out with the largest sea invasion in the world, D-Day! Although the easiest mission, it does a wonderful job of recreating D-Day. Especially with the superior sound. Many people compare the first level of Frontline to the 5 star movie, Saving Private Ryan. Alongside the first level are levels that are harder, longer, and more fun. So try to gain some skills if you really want to get into the action. Multiplayer is also a good addition to the already subperb game. Featuring plenty of weapons and plenty of stages. I know Port Authority and Cleaning House are some of my favorite stages. They're perfect for sniping (my speacilty weapon of choice).
The bottom line is simple as can be. Get the game. Now you've heard about it. Then get it! The game might be rated T, but it has no blood unlike Call of Duty, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, and European Assault. However, the game is violen but educational. So just be sure to check before getting it. My Final score is a 9.0. So go out and buy!

Classic Medal of Honor

This is my favorite of the best WWII shooter game series, Medal of Honor. My main attraction to it is the long extensive campaign with an unintrusive story line. It also has a wide range of weapons in comparison to others in the series, although you usually find them in armorys instead of off dead bodys. The graphics are good considering it's on Gamecube, although the people are a little blocky. The D-Day mission is a little unrealistic, you storm the beach with maybe ten men. The rest of the campaign is great, aiming is odd after playing newer games where you look down the barrel. The story revolves around an OSS agent, however only a few missions are covert or infiltrational. The levels have you fight with the 101st and 82nd in Normandy, and over the Nijmegan bridge and through Arnhem in Market-Garden among many other places. In short, Frontline is a great game, in a great series.

World War II Combat!!!

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

Classic war game

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.

better than you think

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.
