1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, June 27, 2004

This game is the most overhyped game in history. The graphics and gameplay is almost identical to the first Medal of Honor game. The load times between levels are horrible and the AI of the enemy and your teammates is like Forest Gump. I can't say enough bad things about this game.

I bought this game thinking it should be in the same league as Rainbow Six 3...... not even close. This game is flat out terrible.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very fun ride!, July 7, 2004

I think you folks are too picky about the small stuff, this game is great.Yes, the load times are long, and the frame rate suffers once in awhile, but the music is great, the levels, locations and the weapons are well crafted, and the story is fun! I also though that the movielike cutscenes moved the plot along quite well, definitely giving it more of a movielike feel.
Reminds me a bit of Blackhawk Down meets The Peacemaker...
When actually playing the game, I thought it was a real rush!
I personally liked it more than Rainbox Six Three. I think it deserves much better than it's gotten in the reviews so far.
If you are lookng for a more action based FPS game I suggest giving this one a try, it's a while until Halo 2 comes out, this is definitely keeping my attention until then.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's the big deal !?, July 6, 2004

This game may not be the best thing that ever happened to xbox, but it's certainly worth owning. I just got it the other day and so far I am quite satisfied with it. It has excellent graphics and sound. It's also a First-Person Shooter. I just can't figure out what these other reviewers hate about it so much. The AI isn't that bad, you're teammates do kill some people. And, for the record, it has GREAT!! multiplayer. I might not would pay $50 for it but if you have $30 or $35 bucks that you want to spend on a fun army game, I would strongly consider this.
