GameCubes version of TimeSplitters 1...Kinda... |
| William from Medina, Ohio, USA says (8/Jan/2003): |
The controls are great everybody! You just have to make sure to go into options and change the 'Invert Axis' to off. That will save you some pain. However, you must do it everytime. This is like TimeSplitters 1 for PS2 rushed and could have been better but is still a classic. Except TimeSplitters 1 had GREAT multiplayer and well, poor single player. Metal of Honor goes the other and has FANTABLOUS single player but needs a lot of work on the multiplayer. I think that if there is another on the multiplayer will come around. Just the ability tohave bots in multiplayer would have made it 10x better. Beyond that I say buy it but at the same time buy TimeSplitters 2 for your PS2 so when your buddies come over you can play some great 4 player action with 10 bots. Metal of Honor is for those of us gamers who stay up into the wee hours of the morning playing single player games or as right playing it instead of doing a 25oo word research paper due tomorrow! Well enjoy it is worth your $50!

This is the best game i have ever played. |
| A gamer from Rincon,Georgia,Usa says (6/Jan/2003): |
Medal of honor:frontline is the absolute best game i have ever played.The graphics rule,the sound is great,you can actually control your character and the weapon selection is huge.The only con of this game is the multiplayer.You cant custom make a weapon set and you cant have a boti.That is the only thing wrong with this game.

well i think this game has excellent grapics and realism the only thing that i dont like about it is the aiming its to uncontrolable it would have been better if they would put a auto aim or something like that other than that its a great gamer ill get over the control issue the action makes up for it all

Good start... |
| Joe from Michigan, USA says (27/Dec/2002): |
This game has good graphics, good sound effects, and a decent weapon selection. I love the single player although people will shoot you through windows that you can't see through, and guys will shoot at you even when they can't see you. Lock-on would have been a good option, but the multiplayer mode just kills the game. I would suggest not using multiplayer because there are no bots, you don't have enought options, and there is no game that did quite so well on multiplayer as Perfect Dark, and that game is on a cartridge!

Genius, let down by poor controls. |
| Josh from Buckinghamshire, england says (17/Dec/2002): |
Medal of honour: frontline, as with all medal of honour games blends first person shooting with the historical background of world war two. From the opening cutscene you can see that medal of honour is going to give the same results as the previous instalments, but will they be better or worse ?
The opening level see's you reinacting the famous ohmaha beach landing and from the word go your pitched into a frantic firefight with german forces. Medal of honour has returned.
The game has a fabulous one player storyline with locations varing from the open farmland of holland to the broken ruins of a town in Arnham, the objectives are fairly linear and, as with the other medal of honour games, it's a matter of blasting your way through the levels with tasks such as rescuing pined down soilders dropped in to make things interesting.
The weapons are all beautifuly designed and great fun to use, the M1 gerand fires like a dream and the Panzershrek fires like any rocket laucher should, with a BOOM!! Authentic reload animations do, at first, make the game seem slow but after a few levels of play you can see that they enhance the feel of ww2 combat.
The sound effects are complemented by an orchestral score straight from any ww2 film worth its salt and the crackle as enemy fire whistles past your head as you assault german gun emplacements goes a long way to adding to the mood of the game.
Graphics are fairly standard with characters having realistic motion but a certain jerkiness that shows how useless EA's debuggers are. The levels are well layed out but there is little opertunity to explore and no real freedom as there was with the latest Pc installment.
The gameplay is compleatly addictive, you can sit and button bash for hours without tiring of pumping rounds into unsuspecting germans and the system of getting medals for compleating each section with a GOLD rating does give a prolonged, if not weak lifespan.
The main problem is the control system which has been left as a near direct port of playstation controls badly melded with a gamecube controler. Again after a few levels of play you become at one with the niggly controls but there is noway near the ammount of presicion as in other shoot em ups on the cube such as 007's Nightfire.
Multiplayer is fun if you have four mates but the lack of bots does limit the ammount of time you can play for, extra characters can be earnt which does give the multiplayer a longer lifespan, after some time on the game i was rewarded with being able to play as an old lady which made it all worth while....sort of anyway.
There is no real origionality because there are 3 or four predecesers which have, so to speak 'been there done that' but if this is your first visit to the MOH world, then you wil enjoy everylast german grenade tosed at you, every last sniper and everylast foot soilder charging you whilst firing from his hip. If the game had been in production for longer rather than just pre packaged in time for a christmas launch then it would have been a bigger hit. That and the fact that EA's de-buggers have no idea that in real life, you can walk through walls and body's don't sink into the floor........

Terrible, lacks everything |
| Taylor Cavanagh from Brownsburg, Indiana says (8/Dec/2002): |
Medal of Honor Frontline is by far the worst game that I have ever played. The lack of bots in multiplayer, the way you can barely control your character, and many other tings are what makes this game so bad. And it's too bad to, because Allied Assault was so good...

Great Idea, But a bit missing |
| Roen from Bucyrus, Ohio says (14/Nov/2002): |
This is a great Game, I strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys WWII or Saving Private Ryan Movies. This game has an Amazing Single Player mode, with Elaborate Levels and Character Designs. Cons-The Multiplay Lacks. There isnt a Co-op mode, and you cant create custom weapon sets like most other First Person shooters.
