![]() The only help they get is the occasional support fire and unlocking doors. With many of your allies, they just run as fast as possible through the level. The game is supposed to emphasize slow, calculated moves throughout. The fact that you get helpers is great, though the AI in them is far from perfect. The big improvement in this game is the fact that you get the occasional ally in the game. The AI has been both improved and still leaves a lot to be desired. In rare instances, there is even air support doing bombing runs in the level. In this game, you get to square off against motorbikes, half-track vehicles, and even a handful of tanks. What does take a larger presence, however, is the use of vehicles. Even though this was a staple in the previous game, the gun itself takes a much smaller presence within this game. Making a return is the mounted machine gun. A few of them even carry bazooka weapons. The enemies you face are largely the same from the previous game. While the crossbow sounds exciting, it only resides in a level or two before vanishing again. The other change is the addition of the crossbow. One notable change is that the grenade was replaced by the Molotov cocktail. The weapons you get have largely stayed the same. There are actually alternate routs and dead ends in this game. While that may sound like this game is inherently more difficult, the levels are also more realistic in the process. As a result, it is actually more than possible to miss an objective as you race through the levels. Some levels do still suffer from this, but other missions balance it out. A number of levels have less of a hall-room-hall-room-hall-finish feel to it. One notable improvement over the previous game is the fact that level design has been somewhat improved. You’ll have various objectives you need to complete before the end of the mission. In the missions themselves, the HUD (Heads Up Display) is largely the same. Instead of receiving medals for missions done well, you simply get mementos. Probably the only real significant difference is the fact that things are more stripped down. ![]() Each mission starts and ends with a movie of World War era footage. ![]() ![]() You have the game menu that is really a room with different objects you can select. So, while the plot of this game is interesting, it isn’t exactly going into uncharted territory.Ī lot of what was seen in the previous game is also found in this game. This is also not unprecedented in gaming as the Lufia series did the same thing (see Lufia and the Fortress of Doom and the sequel Lufia II – Rise of the Sinistrals). Another notable feature in the story is the fact that it turns back the clock as opposed to moving the plot forward. In previous years, there was also the Metroid series starring a female character as well. In the same year, Perfect Dark was also released and it also starred a female character. Some reviewers found the lead being given to a female character a refreshing change, though this is not unprecedented by any means. The events take place before the events of Medal of Honor, though you do get to see references to Jimmy later on. You play the character Manon, a member of the French resistance during the Nazi occupation. The game itself is more or less a prequel to the first game. We previously reviewed the first game, Medal of Honor and, despite the reputation of the series, only found it to be fairly mediocre. This game was released in 2000 and is the second game of the series. We find out how well this first person shooter (FPS) sequel plays. In this review, we return to the battlefield in the Playstation game Medal of Honor: Underground.
