Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Medal of Honor: Frontline marks the debut of the Medal of Honor franchise on the PlayStation2. In Frontline, you go behind enemy lines as Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson. Your missions include the D-day assault on Omaha Beach, tracking your Nazi nemesis aboard a speeding armored train, the epic battle for control of the Nijmegen Bridge, a strategic choke point in the Allied drive into the heart of Nazi Germany, and a top-secret, high-risk mission to steal the Ho IX flying wing. The Ho IX is an experimental Nazi jetfighter so powerful it could turn the tide of World War II.

There are 20 levels of gameplay spread across six major missions, all based on real World War II events and all adding up to one complete and uninterrupted story line. Fully realized and highly-detailed 3-D environments include six times the number of nonplayer character animations as in the original Medal of Honor. The game includes detailed German, British, and American troops, as well as Dutch civilians, all with full facial expressions and lip synch. More than 20 authentic WWII weapons include the Colt .45, Springfield sniper rifle, Panzerschreck rocket launcher, MG42 mounted machine gun, and the Browning automatic rifle. Enemy vehicles include panzer and tiger tanks, trucks, motorcycles with sidecars, and armored railway scout cars. There are also player-driven motorized railcars, trains, and mine carts.

An improved enemy AI requires you to consistently vary your attack strategy as the situation dictates. Go it alone to accomplish your mission with the utmost stealth or work as part of a highly trained military unit to wreak havoc on the enemy. The game offers intense noncombat scenarios as well, such as a disguised, weaponless infiltration of an officer's pub brimming with Gestapo to make contact with a Dutch Resistance operative. Medal of Honor: Frontline includes more than 70 minutes of original orchestral music from composer Michael Giacchino, and the game as a whole features eight times more audio than the original Medal of Honor.

Product Description

Description The Nazi invasion is in full swing, and you're the Lieutenant who's going to put a stop to it. Step into the shoes of Lt. Jimmy Patterson once again, sweeping across Europe to rescue the innocent and destroy the opposition. The 15 assignments range from saving captured OSS operatives from a Nazi-held Dutch manor house to dismantling a German naval base. Of course, all of the action takes place in detailed 3D; featuring some of the more amazing graphics you'll ever lay eyes on. Your job is a little too tough for any one man to pull off on his own, so you'll have a loyal group of soldiers and a slew of weaponry including the Liberator Pistol, Panzerschreck, MG42, and B.A.R. all of which will come to your aid in the heat of battle. Divided into five main missions, the gameplay is extensive and meticulously constructed, resulting in an experience that trumps earlier series installments. Special Features 15 assignments; five missions; awesome weaponry; 3D graphics; single-player action Warnings Animated Violence Details Players: 1 Player Controller: Gamepad,Joystick Memory Card: Yes(1)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent FPS, June 6, 2002

Medal of Honor Frontline lands you in the role of Lt. James Patterson. Your missions will take you from the beaches of Normandy to hijacking a Ho-IX jet plane. You will have eighteen different weapons to help you along the way. The level designs are very good and each level has a different feel to it. The atmosphere and wide variety of missions is what really pulled me into this game.

The graphics most of the time look spectacular. Unfortunately a few times it did get choppy. The controls are completely customizable. There are several default choices or you can program each button individually. The sound effects and score are excellent and in Dolby Digital. To bad its not 5.1 though.

From the opening level I was hooked on this game. I could not stop playing. I found only two problems with this game. The first is that you cannot adjust the sensitivity of the analog controls. This isn't a major thing but it did take awhile to get used to. The second is that there are no multiplayer options. The game is not really that long and you should be able to go through it in a couple days easily. But the challenge is to get all the medals and that should keep you busy for a while. I think this is one of the top ten games available on PS2. All fans of first person shooters should pick this one up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game but same AI and layout problems, June 19, 2002

Let me start by saying I think that the Medal of Honor series are my favorite games for the Playstation, being a huge WWII buff. I bought Frontline the day it came out, and it is a fantastic game, but I was a bit disappointed overall. The sound continues to be a great strength of the series, but the graphics are very similar to the last 2 MOH games. They are definitely better, but with the PS2 I was expecting more fluid movement. Also, I was hoping for a little more realism out of this one, but it still has the same problems as the last one--Germans stay standing and continue to fire after being shot in the chest or don't notice a bullet whiz by their ears, they catch and hold onto grenades while still firing, and seem to have no military training outside of returning fire (they never try to lay down a base of fire then flank you, they are very predictable in their movements, etc.) On top of this, the game is fairly easy to beat in a short time, and there is no multi-player, which was half the fun of the other ones. Don't get me wrong, I love this game and the series (and look forward to the next one), and I'd recommend anyone to get this game. But be advised that it is basically the same as the first one except it has a better look and sound to it--this is not an ultra-realistic game but well worth the price. For more WWII info: ...

5.0 out of 5 stars another ps2 legend...., June 19, 2002

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

This is one of the best games i have ever seen on the PS2. Remember all the ps2 legends like GT3, GTA3, Meta Gear Solid 2, and all the other awesome games that cruddy microsoft or nintendo havent stolen yet? Well, this is one of them. I think the only reason some of these "not so smart" *cough* people who gave the game a 2 or 3 was because they didnt realize that this was a REALISTIC WAR GAME, not one of those shoot-em-ups like quake or unreal. this game takes place in WWII. If you are a huge shoot-em-up fan and think this game is one of them, ur badly mistaken. Other weirdos complain about the sound or the graphics. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THEM. The graphics in this game were the best i have seen in a long time for the ps2. I dont know how to describe it, you'll have to rent it and find out. The sound is very rich and well done. When you hear the planes bombing, the soldiers firing, and the tanks booming, and with the incredible sound quality of this game, it makes you think you really are in WWII. Remember at the end of allied assualt, it began on d-day, well frontline begins right on D-Day(I think the d-day mission is the best.) I have a lot of fun just playing the first mission on hard to make the game almost real, and try to see what it was really like in WW2. Trust me, If you buy this, you will NOT regret it.
