After the Call Of Duty demo doing such a good job of making you feel part of a team, it’s a bit disappointing to go back to the usual FPS "one man against the world" motif. Medal Of Doomīut of course, this is not a realistic war recreation and you're soon facing legions of Nazis alone in true Rambo-style.
There's gunfire, blood-curdling screams, shells exploding with limb-tearing force and orders being shouted. While the novelty of parading around blindly in a sandstorm wears off fairly quickly, the sense of a big war with loads of people involved - and lots of 'em dying - going on around you is as present and as horrifying as ever. However, Breakthrough starts off intriguingly enough, with the first of 11 single-player missions taking place in a chaotic desert level. Using savegames to skip the boring parts, rather than fork out 20 quid for a lesser experience? The question is: wouldn’t you prefer to play Medal Of Honor again, The game's first expansion pack, Spearhead, didn’t quite stack up to the same levels of excellence, andĪlthough it had plenty of merit, it was also padded out with a lot of relatively average levels - a trait for which add-on packs are notorious.Īnd, sure enough, what we get with Breakthrough is a load of not-so-memorable missions that do nothing to improve on the awesome original and mostly retread old ground. The only real criticisms that could be levelled at the game was that it had a fair amount of visible spawning and the fact that enemy soldiers seemed to not possess Al so much as robotic homing eyes, which allowed them to see through thick fog, trees and even walls.
Its atmosphere was, and still is, unparalleled, and in the magnificent beach landing mission, it boasted arguably the best level yet seen in a first-person shooter, stunningly capturing the visceral feel of real-life warfare in a way no other game had managed. In fact, almost two years after its release, it’s still sitting proudly at the top of the shooter category in our. Medal Of Honor was always a fantastic game.
