Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Those looking for a Saving Private Ryan interactive will be pleased with this effort from the games division of Hollywood's DreamWorks studio. Polished with the grit of great WWII films, Medal of Honor shines brightly, despite the graphic limitations of the PlayStation.
As US secret service officer James Patterson, you must embark on highly dangerous missions, sometimes in the trenches, sometimes undercover, but always alone and always eliminating the German Nazi threat. The Nazis are equipped with the same weapons as you, and they know how to use them. Throw a grenade and watch soldiers scatter, or better yet kick a steel pineapple back in their direction before it blows.
Missions are divided into challenging--but never frustrating--levels that include infiltrating a U-boat pen, destroying a war train while disguised as a German officer, or powering through a group of nasty Gestapo in a quaint French town. A mixture of stealth fighting and action bravado, using each with prudence is essential for successfully completing levels.
This game is full of suspense, in the way that a good page-turner keeps you up at night. You'll be playing until the end of the level, but when that comes, the briefing for the next level is just too enticing to stop. --Jeff Young
- Pros:
- The best first-person shooter for the PlayStation
- An engaging plot, even for non-history buffs
- Outstanding music and sound design
- Cons:
- Graphics get blurry when close up
- Replayability is low except in multiplayer mode
- Occasional polygon dropout can enable player to see through some walls
Product Description
Medal of Honor is the first game to bring gritty WWII action to the PlayStation convincingly. The date is June 5, 1944, just one day before D-Day, and the mission is to go behind enemy lines on a series of search-and-rescue operations, commando raids, and all-out battles. The 24 levels have been designed to authentically recreate real period environments, while the 12 weapon types continue the realistic feel. Using such classics as the Tommy gun and bazooka you must take on 20 different types of enemy, from the Wehrmacht light infantry to the Nazi shock troops, fighting in some inspired locations--from a U-Boat to a V2 rocket plant. A split-screen option facilitates the two-player mode, really bringing the shoot-'em-up element to the fore. And if all that isn't enough to convince you of Medal of Honor's pedigree, bear in mind that it comes from the Dreamworks stable, home to a certain Mr Spielberg.

This review is from: Medal of Honor: Platinum (Video Game)
This is a great game! As soon as I started playing it I thought WOW! You even get to use german mounted machine guns that sit sand bagged at the side of the road...simply wait for a few Nazis to come round the corner and cut the down in a blaze of fire! A definite must for stress relief after a hard day at the office!

This review is from: Medal Of Honor (Video Game)
I've never been a sheep and don't intend to become one, I won't be rushing out to spend hundreds of pounds on a new console. I bought Medal of honour CHEAP! on amazon in mint condition and it's easily the best PS1 game ever.
It's not your average beat em up shoot em up, it's most like "goldeneye" on the N64 but a bit deeper. Problem solving and stealthy tactics are required and shooting accuracy increase your ratings. What is good is that it's based on true events which gives it much more credibility. I've just got the follow up "medal of honour underground" and I can't wait to get started. Try it please and ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
