First off I really recommend this game highly, especially if you get the deluxe edition that includes the Spearhead Expansion Pack. This was my first WWII FPS and I absolutely loved it. The single player levels provide days if not weeks of overwhelming game play depending on your dedication. Where do I start? I loved the large assortment of weapons available and the realistic sound effects. The graphics are stunning; maybe not like looking at pictures off your digital camera, but the best I have seen in any FPS. But graphics alone would not have made this game without the awesome music and realistic sound effects. The bunker at the Normandy landing and in the bombed out town with the snipers had me at the edge of my seat. And infiltrating the compound in France listening for footsteps as the alarms are blaring was nerve wracking. I truly loved the single player campaign.

Now there are definitely things that were not realistic in the game, but this is only a game. Yes the German ammo would not have worked in the American weapons, but then that would have seriously limited the depth of missions (when you ran out of ammo and had only your trusty Colt .45). The accuracy of the enemy was a little extreme and the overwhelming odds may have been overdone, but in the interest of not making the game a cakewalk deal with it.

The only legitimate gripe that I will agree with is the replay ability. Going through the missions a second time was definitely not as exciting as the first time through. But to this I would also say, try the multiplayer. It is very addictive. I found myself battling as the Germans and the allies all day and all night. Unfortunately the WASD movement keys can give you carpel tunnel syndrome.

As to Spearhead Expansion, well its not all bad. I really liked the single player missions, but they were way to short and seemed kind of easy. I did like the new weapons they were a great addition. The best thing that can be said about the expansion is that it adds immensely to the multiplayer. It gives you lots of new options with the British and the Russians with their new weapons and the new maps as well as fixing a few things like being able to bash people with weapons other than handguns. On its own I wouldn't buy it, but it's an added bonus in the deluxe edition.

This package contains two very popular PC games: MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT, an its expansion pack, MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT: SPEARHEAD.

The first one, ALLIED ASSAULT is definetely one of the best first person shooters on PC. It starts off with the widely populer scene where you storm Omaha Beach on D-DAY, just like PS2' MEDAL OF HONOR FRONTLINE. However, it takes a very different path. MEDAL OF HONOR gives you a great feeling of being immersed in an actual war experience.

Also, you have its expansion pack, SPEARHEAD. SPEARHEAD was another great first person shooter, but not quite as good as the first one was. It requires the original version to run, meaning the graphics and performance are indentical.

All together, you have a great value. The graphics still hold up pretty well, and these two will take you a long time to beat. They are both single-player experiences, but are very immersive. If you do not own them, buy them. If you already own the first ALLIED ASSAULT, buying SPEARHEAD seperately might be a better choice. Console gamers who have played through the FRONTLINE should also check this out.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a game based on WW2. It is as many people say THE best FPS anywhere.

Gameplay: A good game based on WW2. What more can I say?. MOHAA is not like other FPS it combines stealth with open-war situations.

Graphics: Amazing! Mind blowing! they are by far some of the best graphics ever. Everything is detailed, I noticed on some levels that when you are close to the enemy you can even see stiches on they're uniforms!!

Sound: They really worked on the sound for MOHAA....REALLY worked on it. The bullets have an almost perfect sound when they are shot, in the Omaha Beach landing everything is so amazing you can hear screams of soldiers and bullets flying everywhere.

A.I: Superb! The enemy is not dumb...he will not wait until you shoot him to then shoot at you. He will duck, take cover, throw granades back at you, get cover etc . Your allies aren't dumb neither they are very smart too. I noticed that in MOHAA your allies actually DO something they dont stand there doing nothing, they will help you accomplish your objectives.

Multiplayer: MOHAA'S Multiplayer is truly (for me) where this game really shines. Offering LAN and Internet connections you can play from deathmatch to objective-oriented maps. It it one of the most amazing multiplayer in the world.

I hope that this review has helped you in making your deccision. Just remember if you are looking for a load of fun and you are a FPS fan, buy it now..you won't regret it.

In the last few years, the PC gaming industry has seen a wide variety of WWII shooters. With good reason too -- they're fun! Some titles have better multiplayer, some have better weapons, basically, all of them have their own pros and cons. But if there was one WWII shooter that I would say does the best job on all angles of the game, it would be the popular Medal of Honor (MOH) series. Not only is multiplayer a blast but the singleplayer campaign is a riot too! I don't replay many games but I probably played the Medal of Honor Allied Assault singleplayer campaign at least three times. Of course, like most shooters, if you want to experience online play at its best, you'll need a broadband connection to play on the largest servers and MOH has one of the largest communities of online shooters right now so there are plenty of games available 24/7. All the best multiplayer formats such as objective, deathmatch, and one death limit matches are included and it's easy to find a specific map and type of game you'd like because of the community's gigantic size. The best part of the Medal of Honor Deluxe set though is that it comes included with the first expansion in the MOH series, Spearhead. This adds more multiplayer maps and a short singleplayer extension. As long as you enjoy a WWII setting, MOH is one of the best first-person shooters on the market right now and one of the best games on the PC in years.

This is the first person shooter experience that I have been looking for since I finished playing No One Lives Forever. Medal of honor has great graphics, great storyline and it is'nt loaded with game killing bugs.

The Omaha Beach segment is particularly interesting, since it manages to simulate the Normandy invasion quite accurately (After getting killed four times, I began to appreciate how hard surviving that battle must have been.)

Well worth the cash.

Don't get me wrong, this is the great game that started the whole real war FPS thing going around now (there's actually some for Vietnam, I know war is war but that just seems wierd to me).

The only real reason to get this game though is if your computer is more than 3 years old and can't handle more excellent fare like Call of Duty. But the game has some great levels, the best being D-Day. The game does a good job showing the desperation of getting to the other side of that beach. But after playing a few different games, the graphics are pretty lame. And I found the you-vs.-Germany thing a little stupid. But for anyone who wants to enter the world of PC gaming with a less than current PC, you could do a lot worse.

This game can be described in 5 words,out of this world fun. This is the first ww2 fps game I have and I think this game is nothing but intensely fun. I strongly recommend all fps game lovers to purchase this game as soon as possible, cause it can get so addictive, you would'nt be able to put it down.It gave me weeks and weeks of intense fun, and left me begging for more!

This game is awesome. you can do so much stuff. If you've played battlefield 1942, Omaha beach is so much more realistic, bullets are flying everywhere. You can also disguise as a German officer, bomb something, and then kill everyone on your way out. Don't miss it!

This FPS is one of the greatest of all. The enemy AI is very well done (those who say that the AI doesn't react when they stand in front of the enemy, either they have a problem with their game or something else because its impossible the AI doesn't react). The storyline is also interesting. The game is very very hard even in easy mode. The soundtrack reminds me of Indiana Jones. Worth the purchase.

Overall, it is an OK game. The only major problem is the walkthrough: there's no map which causes me to wonder where I should go. This is a big mistake since the game is based on secret missions. The objectives are not clear: you die before knowing (or not even) what to do. You'll have to rely on walkthrough of people who've played before. Since were not people from the 1940s, we need some guidelines about what are what.
