Medal of Honor Frontline Reviews
I loved the different missions and the various medals I could earn by completing various objectives. The enemy AI is fairly intelligent, although not always perfect by any means. Overall = Superb. I played this game over and over for about 3 months after it first came out. It is too bad that the newer WW2 games are not as well done as this one. This game has very high replayability and is definately worth picking up.
But what this game lacked was gameplay. Movement is choppy, the scenery and backgrounds look blurred and the software bugs are just too annoying. First of all, the World War II gaming industry has always been popular. EA promised an accurate, intense, experience, describing it with the motto "You don't play; you volunteer." Here is what they delivered:. The game overall is accurate, with real historical figures and real events, seen through the eyes of Lt.
The graphics in MOH: Frontline are a joke. MOH: Frontline, needless to say, arrived with great anticipation. This is MOH's first major debut on the XBOX, and apparently, many faults are taken into consideration. It looks like something from PS1 or the Nintendo 64.
Jimmy Patterson, who were in such operations as D-Day, Market Garden, and Nimjigen Bridge. The overall idea of a franchise where centered in World War II is a great concept, but MOH just continues to disappoint with each game, with poor gameplay and just terrible graphic quality. XBOX was designed to deliver the best graphic quality of any video game console. It is very hard to distinguish items from another in this game.
EA even gave feelings to the weapons, making them as authentic as possible. Many times, objectives are just to shoot blindly at some fixed target, with no real goal. Marksmanship is rarely taken into consideration in this game.
The game doesn't have a whole lot to offer, so it might be better as a rental. The graphics are actually not that bad, considering their age. This makes me believe that Medal of Honor Frontline will remain being an Xbox classic. The voice-overs could use some work, but they at least help put some life to the characters. The bargain price of $10-$15 is probably worth the money to add this classic to your collection. But still, for gamer's looking for a simple arcade-style shooter, look no further. This game truly brings back old memories. The music is great and fits the era and game perfectly.
The reason why my gameplay rating is low is because of Frontline's linear levels and simple game concept. But on the plus side, the weapons, locations, and soldier uniforms are all fairly accurate at representing their real-life counterparts, which helps to add a much more realistic feel to the game. Overall, the graphics look pretty good. Despite these problems, the pure-fun of Frontline definitely makes it worth playing. The single-player isn't incredibly long, but the multi-player is pretty fun and should keep you busy for a while. This makes the game incredibly unrealistic.
With it's linear, been there, done that, gameplay, Frontline doesn't appeal to most gamers. The storyline isn't incredibly strong and could have been a lot better, but their is something about Frontline that makes it highly addicting. I don't know what it is about it, but it has an incredibly high tilt level and it is extremely fun to play, even if you are a one-man show. But like I said, with game's turning towards incredible realism and more life-like, non-linear, open-ended gameplay, Frontline definitely does not deliver.
In the game, you play as Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson, who is basically a one-man super soldier. While some landscapes and character models & animations may look ugly at times, they certainly get the job done. You can get shot hundreds of times and not be phased. The sound is one of the better portions of the game. All the weapons sound very good and help enhance the lacking gameplay. But for those looking for more of a realistic simulation of WWII combat, I'd definitely recommend looking else-where, with my personal recommendation being either the Brothers in Arms or Call of Duty series. Frontline's simple run and gun concept gives it more of an arcade-like experience, which definitely turns most gamers away, especially with games turning towards more of a realistic combat experience (Brothers in Arms, Ghost Recon, etc).
Therefore, you pretty much go through missions alone and without allies, and when you do have fellow soldiers, you are still doing all the work. Medal of Honor Frontline used to be a great game in it's day. Weapon models look and feel surprisingly good and will show some resemblance to their real-life counterparts. But by todays video game standards, Medal of Honor Frontline has definitely seen it's day and you get kind of a been there, done that, feeling while you play it. But the pure fun of running through it's linear levels blasting Germans away is what keeps it alive, making Frontline worth playing.
All said, the game is a LOT OF FUN. (ii) very lengthy game, which can be good or bad depending on your preference, but at some points in the game, all I cared about was completing a mission rather than trying to get a gold. The storyline and missions are engaging, level of difficulty is good (sometimes too difficult), and the weapons are very realistic.
Since I have never played MOH on a PC, I can't really comment on some of the complaints other reviewers here seem to have, but I have had no problem taking aim and shooting down the bad guys. As for the drawbacks, well there are some major ones:. (i) no save points during a mission which becomes very frustrating as you progress to increased levels of difficulty,.
This is the first FPS game I've ever played, and I really enjoyed playing it. Most of all, I think I liked the human/realistic aspect of this game particularly coz I'm not a big fan of the sci-fi FPS games where you're shooting down demons (can't stand the gore in those games.but that's just me). One positive of the length is that once you complete the game, you can play it again and you'll still enjoy it.it retains its "newness" factor moreso than other shorter games.
you barely ever get help from your men, except in a few missions. It's like one man(you) versus the entire nazi army. I highly reccomend Call of Duty instead of this I got this game for Xbox a little while ago and at first liked it, but now I realize that it's a piece of junk.
