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.

Dreamworks really went the extra mile with the latest "Medal of Honor" franchise release. Opening on D-Day, you storm Normandy in a mission that is incredibly faithful to the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan.
You're still 1LT Patterson, and the game makes references to missions completed in the previous title, giving it a sense of continuity that doesn't feel forced.
Here's a quick summary of what's changed from the previous titles:
1. Interactive environment: As opposed to facing just differently armed/attired enemies, you must face artillery, mortar, and tank fire. There's even one sequence where you can hitch a ride where you tear through narrow European streets taking potshots at German soldiers. At another point you must engineer a (nonviolent) distraction to meet up with a resistance fighter that is truly amusing. All around you, things happen that you might miss (a submarine exploding, aircraft strafing a bunker) that is simply there to create a more realistic environment.
2. Teammates: While the game no longer has a two-player option, it does have you working alongside American forces who often provide mission updates verbally
3. Talking to HQ: Because the game is more complex, it can give you guidance on what to do courtesy of "updates from HQ".
4. More complex combat: The enemies are smarter, and often take shots at you from all around. Thus, weapons that weren't too useful before (like the sniper rifle) are invaluable. Also, it may take a few moments to locate the source of fire, which is pretty realistic.
What's stayed the same:
1. Same rather simplistic first person shooter controls.
2. Same linear plot development--although it's not that forced.
3. You're still killing Nazis, Nazis, and more Nazis!

The best PS2 shooter yet, perfect for history buffs and patriots.
You finish each sequence glad that you didn't have to live it, and with respect for those who did.

another ps2 legend....

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.

I Forsure played the frontline demo and its so damn amazing!!!!!!
your allies and enimies have tight AIs with so many details. The sound is so shocking, you can hear bullets pass right by you if the voleum is high. There so many details in the game, anything you shoot they show stuff comming out like leaves and more. There are 2 or 3 bugs in the game, soldiers walking into walls, soldiers jumping so high like 3 ft in the air. The graphics arn't fulling done cause its just a demo and its still amazing!!! but ea just doing that cause they want to suprise you with the full mohfl game cause i saw the fully graphics on the official site, so amazing!!. You can use M1 Garand, Colt. 45, Gernades in the demo and i can't wait till i get the full one. ...

Demo Comments and Thoughts About Previous Reviewers

The demo of this game gives fans and future fans a very good idea of what to expect in MOH:Frontline. Although it does have it's faults, framerate issues, questionable A.I. and NPC's jumping 10 feet in the air(some bugs that will be fixed in the final version) it captures the feel of the previous MOH's that were on the PSone, only times it by a 1000. This demo just screams "play me", and I did, about a hundred times. It just doesn't get old.
I don't want to say the final product will be the best game ever but it will without a doubt be one hell of a ride. Take that to the bank.
As for some previous comments. Don't listen to anyone who said they played the final game. That one guy posted two months before the release. Not even sites like IGN and Gamespot have final copies. Please wait until it's released before making a choice on buying it or not.
Also, DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE who says get Medal Of Honor:Allied Assualt instead of Frontline. In reality you should get both if at all possible. These are two different games with the exception of the D-Day missions. Everything else is totally different. One in the end maybe better than the other but when talking about the MOH series the one that's worse is still a fantastic game. You should play every MOH game, past, present and future titles!!!!!!!
In closing, don't worry about hearing about control problems or some of the bugs in the demo. The controls are fully customizable(check the latest GamePro), the y axis on the right stick can be inverted(so down is up and up is down) and you can have the cross hairs on screen all the time(check IGN movies or Gamespot).

Medal of Honor Frontline Review

I love the MoH games. I have every single one so far except for Frontline. I love the way the game was made, FPS, shooting enemies with a large aray of weapons. If you loved the other MoH's, then you'll most likely love this one even more, enhanced graphics, better gameplay, hopefully longer and harder levels. I haven't beaten MoH Underground yet, I'm waiting to get it back from my friend who I let borrow it over a month ago, he truely loves it. I can't wait til June 6th or 7th. I read the review for it in my newly purchased Game Pro magazine, can't wait to play it! If you like FPS's, then this is your game. Taking place in the Nazi owned lands and destroying your enemies with small or large weapons is very fun, I wish you could control a tank in one level. BUY IT IF YOU LIKE THE OTHER MoH'S!!!

Great gameplay, and who really cares about "great graffix." Don't get me wrong I wanna be able to see stuff clearly, but I grew up with an Atari. Levels are challenging, but not impossible even on hard. Enemies aren't the smartest, but are far from stupid. And yes, this game may be short if you dedicated your life to it, but if you're showering regularly and doing something else with your life, the length is good enough. I just wish there were other games as good.

Everything we could have hoped for...

Wow! That's all I can keep saying. Just wait until you start this game at D-Day, at the Invasion of Normandy on the beach. This game definitely takes some cues from Saving Private Ryan, sans the gore but with the same intensity.
You will recognize several locales taken straight out of scenes from Private Ryan.
The game has a little bit more of an intense and serious edge, thanks to the Private Ryan influence, than its prequels did. That's a very good thing.
If you have played this series before, you will be pleased to see customizeable and improved controls along with the amazing upgrades on graphics, sound, more amazing orchestral music, and overall sophistication that everyone expected from this title.

Make sure you play this on an awesome TV with home theater surround sound. This game will make you sweat.
It's that intense!
This is not a game where you just charge in the room and start blasting. It requires some skill and patience, just like the earlier games did.

Halo is still currently the king of all FPS's...but this is a crown prince for sure. Great story, intelligent A.I., everything you could want in an awesome FPS is here.
I certainly believe that it is the best FPS on the PS2 as of now.

The only things it has a against it are that it seems kind of short (which may be just because I played this thing nonstop like an insane person) and there are no multiplayer options. Multiplayer options with intelligent and adjustable bots should become a staple on all FPS so that there can be almost unlimited replay value. Small nits really, because this series has always been about an extremely intense single player experience. Boy, does it deliver!!

Awesome Game

Medal of Honor Frontline is one of the few great console first person shooters. The controls are tight, the graphics are amazing, and the sound effects some of the best ever in a console game, besides SOCOM. The music also fits the mood of the scene perfectly, with no crazy techno music or metal style messing up the feeling.

The graphics are top-notch and some of the best on the PS2. The weapons are well modeled, and npc's and enemy characters are highly detailed, all the way to the zipper it seems at times, the environments are amazing, with little details such as tapestries in certain buildings that don't have some random nazi logo, but have actual images. And the draw distance is never a problem, though many times you are under a dark sky, or a poorly lit area anyways.

The sound effects are amazing, with the gun sound effects being recorded from the actual guns and not some computer created sound. The screams of other characters dieing is also amazingly chilling.

The music is a somewhat light classical blend, with some more upbeat moments, but most of the time you don't even notice that it is playing. That is how well it is done, well enough that it gives the game more of an atmosphere, but doesn't break in as to disturb you from your nazi shooting.

Enemy A.I, a subject that is very important when you are talking about games, especially shooters. If the enemies have no brain, then the game would merely be a run of the mill, shoot everything that stands like a log when you are right on top of it shooter.

But this isn't the case for Frontline, the enemies are smart, almost to smart. The will duck for cover, roll out of the way, and take pot shots from high vantage points while concealed in trees. It is truly amazing.

Overall Medal of Honor Frontline for the PS2 is a great single player game, but to get some multiplayer action going on, you are going to have to get the GCN or X-Box version. A recommended game for all.

The Best Medal of Honor Game Yet!!!

Ok, so I don't have a computer and haven't played Allied Assault so I can't compare MOH Frontline with that but I just picked up a copy of Frontline last night and it was amazing. I'll start with the positives and then get into the very miniscule negatives.

First of all the graphics are incredible. I've always told my friends that if they just could have put better graphics on the original MOH it would have been the best game of all time, EA was obviously listening (guess they have my apartment bugged). Anyway, along with the wonderfull graphics you also get one heck of a story line to go through. You start off in the D-Day invasion and man is it amazing. So there isn't exactly as many soldiers storming the beach as in the real thing, hook your PS2 up to surround sound and crank it up and it's as good as watching Saving Private Ryan, if not better. Bulletts go whizzing by you, bombs drop around you kicking up sand and dirt that cover you and block your vision. I've played this level over and over just because it's so darn cool. You'll be running along the beach and all around you your fellow soldiers are dying, I know it's not the real thing but it gives you some idea what our boys went through back then.

Ok, moving on, I've played about half the game (I put it on easy so that's why I was able to finish half the game in one night) and another cool level is one where you have to make your way through a Dutch town and find a German uniform so that you can infiltrate a pub. Once in the pub you can have the piano player play a tune and all the German soldiers will start drunkenly singing along to it. It's really pretty cool. Anyways, you then go out back of the pub and start a fight between two drunken German soldiers. A really cool add in if you ask me. So that is just a little of the positives, really every level is quite spectacular to play and I could describe all of them but it would take me forever so I'll just stop there.

Now the negatives. The first negative that comes to mind is that there is no 2 player mode in this game. While this doesn't take that much away from the game it would have been nice to fight a friend in the Dutch country side. I guess EA decided the 2 player mode wasn't that good in the first two MOH's so they decided to leave it out all together and concentrate on the main game which they did a wonderful job on so maybe no 2 player mode is for the best. Another negative, and a rather small one at that, is that it is sometimes hard to navigate yourself up and down ladders. You have to look up to go up a ladder and down to go down which really isn't that big of a deal except that I hate limitations such as this. That's about all I have for the negatives, trust me you're gonna want to go out and get this game, it's unbelievable.
