This package contains two very popular PC games: MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT, an its expansion pack, MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT: SPEARHEAD.

The first one, ALLIED ASSAULT is definetely one of the best first person shooters on PC. It starts off with the widely populer scene where you storm Omaha Beach on D-DAY, just like PS2' MEDAL OF HONOR FRONTLINE. However, it takes a very different path. MEDAL OF HONOR gives you a great feeling of being immersed in an actual war experience.

Also, you have its expansion pack, SPEARHEAD. SPEARHEAD was another great first person shooter, but not quite as good as the first one was. It requires the original version to run, meaning the graphics and performance are indentical.

All together, you have a great value. The graphics still hold up pretty well, and these two will take you a long time to beat. They are both single-player experiences, but are very immersive. If you do not own them, buy them. If you already own the first ALLIED ASSAULT, buying SPEARHEAD seperately might be a better choice. Console gamers who have played through the FRONTLINE should also check this out.

Great game in a great package.

This is the first person shooter experience that I have been looking for since I finished playing No One Lives Forever. Medal of honor has great graphics, great storyline and it is'nt loaded with game killing bugs.

The Omaha Beach segment is particularly interesting, since it manages to simulate the Normandy invasion quite accurately (After getting killed four times, I began to appreciate how hard surviving that battle must have been.)

Well worth the cash.

Great game but could include more missions.

I really loved this game, the gameplay was incredible and the music was haunting...it really drags you in. One problem/gripe...it only took me a week to finish and that was with me playing only a few hours every day. I'm not the best gamer in the world but I flew through this one. Wish they had more missions, I didn't want it to end so soon!

Shoddy Vendors

This game might be good if the player could ever get it to operate. It was so terrible and the EA people over in Redwood City - not far from my house - have an attitude best described as "Mox Nicks" - - - so I returned it to you guys via parcel post with your label - which you kindly provide with your software over the net - on or about 3 July 2003. To date I've heard nothing from you. Would you be so kind as to indicate to me what disposition you've made of this turkey???

Excelent!

This game is the best first person shooter game I have ever played! Omaha is better than Frontline. The music can be scary if your in night commando mission. The gameplay is very good, and the only problem I can think of is that in some missions you can't pick up some wepons. This is not illogical however. Multiplayer should be great; I have not tried it yet. Anyway, it;s a GREAT game!

Get this game NOW!

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a game based on WW2. It is as many people say THE best FPS anywhere.

Gameplay: A good game based on WW2. What more can I say?. MOHAA is not like other FPS it combines stealth with open-war situations.

Graphics: Amazing! Mind blowing! they are by far some of the best graphics ever. Everything is detailed, I noticed on some levels that when you are close to the enemy you can even see stiches on they're uniforms!!

Sound: They really worked on the sound for MOHAA....REALLY worked on it. The bullets have an almost perfect sound when they are shot, in the Omaha Beach landing everything is so amazing you can hear screams of soldiers and bullets flying everywhere.

A.I: Superb! The enemy is not dumb...he will not wait until you shoot him to then shoot at you. He will duck, take cover, throw granades back at you, get cover etc . Your allies aren't dumb neither they are very smart too. I noticed that in MOHAA your allies actually DO something they dont stand there doing nothing, they will help you accomplish your objectives.

Multiplayer: MOHAA'S Multiplayer is truly (for me) where this game really shines. Offering LAN and Internet connections you can play from deathmatch to objective-oriented maps. It it one of the most amazing multiplayer in the world.

I hope that this review has helped you in making your deccision. Just remember if you are looking for a load of fun and you are a FPS fan, buy it now..you won't regret it.

Very great game indeed!

I consider this game to be just as good as battlefield 1942 or even better. i highly recomend this game because it has tons of action and the online game playing is fantastic.

Maybe the Best All-Around WWII Shooter Out There

In the last few years, the PC gaming industry has seen a wide variety of WWII shooters. With good reason too -- they're fun! Some titles have better multiplayer, some have better weapons, basically, all of them have their own pros and cons. But if there was one WWII shooter that I would say does the best job on all angles of the game, it would be the popular Medal of Honor (MOH) series. Not only is multiplayer a blast but the singleplayer campaign is a riot too! I don't replay many games but I probably played the Medal of Honor Allied Assault singleplayer campaign at least three times. Of course, like most shooters, if you want to experience online play at its best, you'll need a broadband connection to play on the largest servers and MOH has one of the largest communities of online shooters right now so there are plenty of games available 24/7. All the best multiplayer formats such as objective, deathmatch, and one death limit matches are included and it's easy to find a specific map and type of game you'd like because of the community's gigantic size. The best part of the Medal of Honor Deluxe set though is that it comes included with the first expansion in the MOH series, Spearhead. This adds more multiplayer maps and a short singleplayer extension. As long as you enjoy a WWII setting, MOH is one of the best first-person shooters on the market right now and one of the best games on the PC in years.

A Great Game. Don't miss it

First off I really recommend this game highly, especially if you get the deluxe edition that includes the Spearhead Expansion Pack. This was my first WWII FPS and I absolutely loved it. The single player levels provide days if not weeks of overwhelming game play depending on your dedication. Where do I start? I loved the large assortment of weapons available and the realistic sound effects. The graphics are stunning; maybe not like looking at pictures off your digital camera, but the best I have seen in any FPS. But graphics alone would not have made this game without the awesome music and realistic sound effects. The bunker at the Normandy landing and in the bombed out town with the snipers had me at the edge of my seat. And infiltrating the compound in France listening for footsteps as the alarms are blaring was nerve wracking. I truly loved the single player campaign.

Now there are definitely things that were not realistic in the game, but this is only a game. Yes the German ammo would not have worked in the American weapons, but then that would have seriously limited the depth of missions (when you ran out of ammo and had only your trusty Colt .45). The accuracy of the enemy was a little extreme and the overwhelming odds may have been overdone, but in the interest of not making the game a cakewalk deal with it.

The only legitimate gripe that I will agree with is the replay ability. Going through the missions a second time was definitely not as exciting as the first time through. But to this I would also say, try the multiplayer. It is very addictive. I found myself battling as the Germans and the allies all day and all night. Unfortunately the WASD movement keys can give you carpel tunnel syndrome.

As to Spearhead Expansion, well its not all bad. I really liked the single player missions, but they were way to short and seemed kind of easy. I did like the new weapons they were a great addition. The best thing that can be said about the expansion is that it adds immensely to the multiplayer. It gives you lots of new options with the British and the Russians with their new weapons and the new maps as well as fixing a few things like being able to bash people with weapons other than handguns. On its own I wouldn't buy it, but it's an added bonus in the deluxe edition.
