Product Description

Medal of Honor Frontline marks the debut of the best-selling and award-winning Medal of Honor franchise on the Microsoft Xbox. In Frontline, you go behind enemy lines as Lt. Jimmy Patterson. Your missions range from the D-Day assault on Omaha Beach, to surveilance of your Nazi nemesis aboard and atop a speeding armored train, to the epic battle for control of Nijmegen Bridge, a strategic choke point in the Allied drive into the heart of Nazi Germany. It all culminates in a top-secret, high-risk mission to steal the HO-IX flying wing, an experimental Nazi jet fighter so powerful it could turn the tide of World War II.

Great value on the Classics label
A friend introduced me to the PC version of MoH. I was hooked pretty much straight away, so I snapped up the XBox version when I saw it as one of the Classics range. OK, so compared to current standards, the graphics aren't necessarily all that, but they still hold their own and the gameplay is great: the hairs come up on the back of your neck as you wait in that landing craft ready to hit the Normandy beaches to a hail of machine-gun and artillery fire. From there, you progress on a mixture of solitary and squad missions that require a mixture of silent-spookery and all-out hot-lead action. I like the selection of weapons and their different characteristics: for example a pistol not only inflicts less damage than a rifle, but it is also less accurate - you just can't beat that sniper rifle for sheer sneakiness though... So would I buy this for £40? Probably not when you compare it to some of the slicker games for the XBox that are available now. Do I regret buying this as a Classics label? Absolutely not: great gameplay, great value. Just looking forward to the next MoH instalment when it comes out in Winter 2003!

Let down
just another game of walking around shooting people to add to the pile, the graphics are terrible considering what the xbox is capable of, the computer AI is useless, enemie soldiers at times seem to just drop out of the air! i played it for about two days before i got tired of doing the same thing over and over in different levels, and the multiplayer on it is terrible, it is the worst multiplayer i have played in a long time...where is my copy of halo?...

A PS2 classic ported to the XBOX....
Well, I've squeezed so much action out of Timesplitters 2 and Halo now, while throwing the likes of Agent Under Fire and Turok to the side....

And I must admit, for those of you looking for more single player action to get your teeth into, well, this could be it!

You take teh role of Lieutenant Patterson as he passes through 19 levels to reach his goal, as much destruction with the Nazi warmachine as possible, and grabbing information on the German's new jet propelled fighter plane. Planned to be capable of travlleing 1,000km, at 1,000kph and carry a 1,000lb payload. Hence the name '3x1000'.

The game has atmosphere in spades, and a very effective soundtrack. However, there are some features I didn't like:

No Blood or gore!?!? Supposed to be a realistic sim, there is no blood or anything! This can actually be annoying when you jump into a room full of Krauts and mow them down with no crimson spray and stains :(

Poor multiplayer: Sure, single player is good but for multiplayer mayhem, stick with HALO and TIMESPLITTERS 2!

Graphics: Sure these are good for owners of the PS2 but players of the Xbox have the right to better than this... They are still passable, just!

Also, you start the first mission as vulnerable cannon fodder running up Omaha beach private Ryan style. This has bags of atmosphere. However, suddenly you are turned into a one man army! On my current campaign I have somewhere in the region of 800 kills. Good for sheer killing fun but more levels which include squad members (Halo anyone!?) would be nice!

HOWEVER, there are some truly brilliant levels! The first few are great, from storming the beach and bunker, to battles in shelled out French towns. Another urban warfare mission is included later, and is a touch of sheer class! Another mission which stands out, giving a fantastic feeling of achievement is were you have to covertly take out the guards on a bridge and cross it. Great stuff!
I believe that this is worth between 6 and 7, hence my rating of 3 stars. Worth buying as it has plenty of single player life, but without co-op or a decent deathmatch it isn't anything else. If, like me you have played through each of Halos levels almost 10 times each, co-op and single, or Timesplitter's levels about 3-5 times each and want some more action, this is a great purchase for the satisfaction of returning to pump good ole humans full of lead!
