Description official descriptions
In Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the first PC installment of the famous Playstation game series, you assume the role of Sgt. Mike Powell, a member of the 1st Ranger Batallion. You have been recruited by the OSS (some sort of secret service) and need to battle through over 20 levels based on historical campaigns during WW2.
Missions include the landing at Normandy (D-Day), assaulting the town Arzew, a rendez-vous with the french Resistance outside the village of St. Lo, and even taking the famous bridge at the German town Remagen. You will need to rescue agents, plant explosives, assault desert camps with your team and of course kill every Nazi that comes into your gunsight.
There are plenty of weapons available, including the MP40, some sniper and assault rifles, hand grenades and explosive charges.

The Good
This was a complete game. It combined all the stealth and strategy of any great war game into a package that featured aspects of a war movie and the slight adjustment of realism to enable one man missions. 2015 offered a very rewarding and satisfying game here, one that takes you around the world on a multitude of missions.
The Bad
Perhaps the story could have been a little deeper, just to add to the already great gameplay.
The Bottom Line
Enjoyable. Although I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't played MoH:AA, the Omaha Beach level remains to me one of the most breathtaking, mind-blowing levels I've ever seen. That level alone is worth buying the game for, as it captures the horror and chaos of war perfectly.

The Good
The graphics are splendid, there is a great feel of being in Europe during the 1940's when you play it. The game play is really cool, learning how to effectively use the old weapons is an interesting challenge if you've played lots of modern shooting games (Ghost Recon, Delta Force, Splinter Cell, America's Army). Lots of enjoyable and diverse levels. Music is great! Voices for characters is really great, they speak their own languages very well. Driving a tank is really fun and sniping in the rain is very cool! I liked this game a lot, too bad it had to end or else I would still be playing it!
The Bad
Multiplayer for this game is below par, if you want a good multiplayer version try Battlefield 1942 but for single player this game is the best. This game also has high system requirments which can make it run choppy on older computers.
The Bottom Line
Play this game just for the D-day level, its a video game spectacle. Makes you gut wrench when you come to the realization of how horrible D-day actually was. The rest of the game is great as well. I enjoyed all of the levels.

Superb WW2 FPS single player & MP experiences!
The Good
The graphics in this game are top notch and run great on even modest hardware. The sound effects are also a treat. The level design and scripted events really pull you into the game making you feel as if you are really a part of the war. The game has realistic damage such that when you are being hit with enemy fire your own fighting capability is severely hampered.
The Bad
Sometimes the game was so difficult in certain parts (Sniper Town for one) that you spend a bunch of time dying and reloading and saving in "baby steps" which can detract from the immersion. The game is perhaps a bit shorter than I'd like.
The Bottom Line
A wonderful first person shooter in a realistic setting with an interesting single player story and good multiplayer options.

Trivia
1001 Video Games
Medal of Honour: Allied Assault appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Film homage
The D-Day section, in which the player storms Omaha beach, is directly inspired by the opening scenes from the film "Saving Private Ryan". It's worth noticing that Steven Spielberg directed the film and was involved in the earlier Medal of Honor games through his production company DreamWorks Interactive.
Bans and censorship
- There is no blood to be seen at all throughout the game. EA/2015 removed all blood so they could retain a Teen ESRB rating.
- The US and EU versions are forbidden to be distributed in Germany because they contain symbols which are regarded as unconstitutional (e.g. swastika). For the German version the developers had to remove any appearances of swastikas. Most of them are replaced with an Iron Cross. Additionally in the level "Scuttling the U-529" all Hitler salutes were removed.
Critical reception
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was featured on the cover of the February 2002 issue of Computer Gaming World, where it was billed as the "most intense WWII game ever".
Dedication
The credits say: "This game is dedicated to all the men, women, and their families, that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. You will always be remembered."
Ending
The game has no proper ending: final mission, "The End", credits.
Enemy communication
The Wehrmacht soldiers speak flawless German. A player understanding the language, may occasionally have a slight advantage, as they can anticipate the enemies' actions: "Er ist im Luftschacht!" (He's in the air shaft!), "Mein Gewehr klemmt!" (My rifle's jammed!).
Online servers
The game's online servers (which were hosted on GameSpy) were scheduled to shut down on 30 June 2014, like for other Electronic Arts titles in the wake of GameSpy's total closure.
References
- In the fourth mission the player is assigned to find an OSS agent named Manon. This woman has appeared in countless Medal of Honor games as a minor character, offering to meet up with the main character of the game to give information. She is also the main character in Medal of Honor: Underground.
- During the credits, a 1940s-style song is played while pictures of WWII are displayed on screen. One of these is a picture of Mike Powell and what appears to be his regiment. In the picture the player can see Mike Powell and also James "Jimmy" Patterson, the main character from Medal of Honor: Frontline, which had not been released at the time of this game's debut.
