Sometimes the Nazis execute well-coordinated attacks, but the dead bodies of guards killed seconds earlier are generally ignored. The AI of enemy soldiers varies considerably depending on the situation. However, after completing the last mission, Allied Assault needs a medal presentation since the conclusion will leave you wondering if you left something unfinished.
Yet, without cut-scenes, the plot advances with a military precision and avoids unnecessary distractions. Perhaps such scripted events are meant to replace the customary pre-mission cut-scenes, which are curiously absent. In one mission an undercover operative - supposedly your on-the-job instructor - is killed right in front of you, forcing you to complete your assignment alone. Two missions also encourage stealth (somewhat reminiscent of the Metal Gear series, although not as well done), which allows a break from the otherwise continuous shooting and sniping.Īllied Assault handles plot development primarily through scripted events that occur regardless of your actions. Much like the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan, it's a disorienting and terrifying experience.
When the door of your landing craft opens and the enemy machine guns slaughter most of the soldiers around you, it's quite easy to understand why so many people died on 6 June 1944. However, Allied Assault also includes several unforgettable missions, such as a D-Day landing on Omaha Beach. These missions will blur together as you progress, partly because there are so many of them, and partly because of their similarity.
All the missions provide plenty of furious and enjoyable killing, but your biggest regret may be the title's relatively short length. Where Return to Castle Wolfenstein establishes an arcane and spooky atmosphere, Allied Assault emphasizes realism, though both are relatively standard shooters. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault's seven multi-level missions traverse the European Theater of WWII you will take out coastal guns in North Africa, scuttle submarines in Norway, and sneak into the heart of Nazi Germany. Electronic Arts has produced another rock solid, if uninspired, first-person shooter for their Medal of Honor series.
