4.0 out of 5 stars Medal of Honor Collection, June 27, 2008

The classic war games of this vein (MOH) are updated for your enjoyment on the PS2! It's a shooting game for those who like historical accuracy (with some artstic license, of course) mixed in with some pretty intense gameplay.

In the Medal of Honor Collection, you have 3 games to play: Medal of Honor: Frontline, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, and Medal of Honor: European Assault. The first of the 3 games deals with the major battles of WWII, including the water landing at Normandy in June, 1944. The second game is strictly set in the Pacific Theatre, and opens with your character attempting to escape a damaged destroyer before it is sunk by Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, in December, 1941. The final game in the collection is made with a whole new MOH format, which includes an adrenaline feature so you can go nuts on the enemy without taking damage, floating ammo/heath kit icons (instead of the standard items-on-the-ground format from the previous games.

MOH Frontline is my favorite game so far. The D-Day assault mission is VERY intense. It remainds me of the scene from Saving Private Ryan! There is a recoil on the weapons when firing, and also when a bomb drops, the entire screen shakes. It makes it very difficult to get a good accuracy rating.

MOH Rising Sun is a great game! I have never played a shooter so throughly steeped in the Pacific Theatre as is this MOH title.

MOH European Assault is a good game too, yet I haven't played that one trough very far yet!

One element that successfully ties all 3 games together is, your character actually works cooperatively with other computer controlled allies that help you during the missions. This is especially true in MOH Risisng Sun, and MOH European Assault. A great series of games awaits you in this Collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best split-screen shooter for PS2, April 15, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Medal of Honor Collection (Video Game)

The Medal of Honor series is not only an excellent first-person shooter game on its own, but is quite entertaining if you are more social and still like to play multiplayer split-screen with friends - it's one of only 3 games I play anymore.

While Frontline seems to be single player, (I haven't even opened it) in Rising Sun you can engage in a two-player cooperative campaign! This is unique to Rising Sun - EA dropped that play mode for all future MoH iterations and I am not aware of any other first-person shooter like it.

Rising Sun and European Assault also support other multiplayer play modes - plug in a multitap adapter and you can split your screen 4 ways for 4-player action. Could be a great party game if you like shooting things!

Rising Sun multiplayer team death match allows you to have up to 8 total players, including AI, so add in some AI players and the fun goes on for a long time. Gang up against against an all-AI team, or divide up into 2 human player teams and add in some AI to help your less proficient friends!

Unfortunately in European Assault they dropped the AI players from multiplayer modes, but they added some fun arena-based games like Capture the Flag. Also European Assault graphics and gameplay are significantly better than all previous MoH iterations - I think they are pushing the limits of the PS2 console and it looks great for being a PS2 game! After playing European Assault for a while and then going back to an older MoH game it is apparent I've taken a step back in gaming technology.

You don't get the most recent MoH for PS2 in this collection, Vanguard, but I own that separately and will admit that it is in many ways not nearly as good as European Assault. Seems like they slapped it together to please the PS2 crowd during a time when they were spending most of their resources developing the PS3 game.

This review is from: Medal of Honor Collection (Video Game)

This is a nicely-priced collection of some very popular games, but it comes at a price: online play is NOT supported. I noticed that this info is not listed on the Amazon site, and hope to save someone the frustration of buying this product with the intention of playing online.
