5.0 out of 5 stars All Quiet On the...... frontline, November 28, 2002

"You all can thank me for single-handedly winning WWII". Not really, but you feel as if you have a right to say that after beating this game. Realtime graphics, hypnotically beatiful and detailed levels, entrancing gameplay, and the greatest story line of all time. This game isn't like other war games, you know your usual "assasinate Hitler.. plain old shooting Nazis", no, you get dropped in on world war two, starting in a cinematic event of your boat approaching Omaha Beach and hearing the captain yelling "ten seconds!" You are a soldier, doing your part in WWII, no some corny secret agent gathering infromation, (although you do get sent on solo missions). Anything is for use, enemies weapons, abandoned machine gun turrets, even a U-Boat deck gun! My review is, in my humble opinion, very credible, seeing as how I have played this game many a-time. If your looking for a highly intriguing miniature disc to put into your sleek gamecube that helps you escape from your world and plunge into another, Frontline is it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best FPS games of the Gamecube to date, May 25, 2003

While it may be a port of the original game, released on the PS2, the Gamecube edition of "Medal of Honor: Frontline" is one of the best First Person Shooters ever to be pressed on the small disk.

The highly enjoyable story starts out on the beaches of Normandy after your group lands on D-Day. And includes one of the more moving quotes I've seen to begin a game:

"And when he gets to Heaven To Saint Peter he will tell: One more soldier reporting, Sir -- I've served my time in Hell"

Truly one of the best battle sequences ever produced on the cube and its only the first level! Jimmy (the main character, whom you play the entire game as) is moving further and further into Nazi-occupied France and Germany. His missions include freeing spies, helping in street to street combat, and even taking out one of the leaders while the allies are bombing a facility. Parts of the game seemed a little too James Bond-esqe (1 man against an entire building of battle-harded soldiers), but I quickly forgot about that aspect as a machine gun nest would pelt me with bullets.

The graphics and sound are amazing. The Gamecube excels in making things 'look pretty' and it certainly did its job here. The replay factor here is high, and not just because you die on missions. I found myself going back and trying missions over again to get a better time, get the guy who kept sniping me from 2 rooms away, etc.

The controls did take some time to get used to. I prefer the MOH Sharpshoter because of its use of the C-Stick, though the two thumbed approach did cause more than a few headaches. Once I finally got that part down, I was able to go through levels much quicker than before. And while there is no 'auto-aim', it seems that it would cheapen a game like this where you're being pinned down by a few snipers, someone in a gun-nest, or even just a few feet away. I think the right call was made by not having an auto-aim feature.

While not always believeable, I highly suggest this game to owners of Gamecubes that are noticing a lack of FPS games for the console, and want to have a challenge.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Game, November 30, 2002

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

Yeah, WWII, it happened, I slept through that in class. Medal of Honor: Frontline throws you right into the middle of the choas that is WWII. Most games start you off with a nice easy calm mission, not Frontline, you are thrown right into the middle of the Omaha Beach landing (D-Day), I mean the game starts when your landing craft is hit by an artillary shell! One thing I do have to say before I continue though, it's not a game for younger kids, even though there is no blood on the beach you watch helplessly as groups of Americans and other Allies are mowed down by artillary, machine guns and eventually killed by mines.

Anyway, this game has a very tough single player, I still havn't beaten it. The only down side is that we Gamecube owners had to wait so long so they could add a multiplayer, more about that later. The graphics are not the best in the world, but they don't need to be, they convey they choas or the urgency of a situation, you can see facial expressions, and the lips move when they are talking, more than I can say about other first person shooters. The controls are fairly simple, however it makes it difficult to switch between other first person shooters without a little time to get back to other controls. I also own Timesplitters 2 and in that the look stick is inverted (back is look up) while in Medal of Honor it is not, after playing MOH for a while I went back TS2, I was getting kicked around like there was no tommarrow.

Now onto the Multiplayer that we waited so long for. In my opinion it is an average setup at best, there is very little customization, there are 17 pre-set weapon sets, you can't customize, and you start with all the weapons in the set, you can't make it so you start unarmed, and the maps are small so there is very little time to get ready for a battle, you move a little your opponent is on top of you. Also, I'm not sure but I don't think that you can add bots to the mix.

In conclusion, this is a great game, it has one of the best single players I have seen since Perfect Dark. However, don't buy it just for the multiplayer, if you are looking for a great multiplayer first person shooter, I recommend Timesplitters 2 or one of the Bond games.
