8. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault vs. Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault

a) MoH: Allied Assault

Allied Assault is originally ported from PS, which promises no good. But fear not, noble gamers! This game is almost the best FPS ever made for PC (ported, I mean, but who cares), except Call of Duty, maybe, but that’s other story...

Your first mission is in Africa, when you need to retake one town from Germans. Almost all missions are designed in same way, and they are linear and scripted. For example, your teammates will die when the game says so, and you can’t save them (how undemocratic...). Exception is third mission, Omaha beach. You, like many others, need to charge upon enemy bunkers and kill all Nazi’s. You even can feel small part of chaos that was present there... wow...

One more flaw is that your soldiers (teammates) will always die, leaving you to kill hordes of Germans. Where is reality here? O, shit...

Rate: 8/10

b) MoH: Pacific Assault

Pacific Assault is made in 2004, and it was horribly demanding game, but didn’t bring any revolutionary and new with it. Only some fancy effects. Battlefield is now on pacific islands, and there is one bad thing with it: boring exteriors. Green. Green. Wherever you turn, only GREEN. Man, I went insane in these jungles...

Combat system is pretty bad. It’s somewhat boring (with exceptions), soldiers are to immune to ammunition and ammo is spent unusually quickly. Weird...

Most interesting missions are in the beginning , when you control a boat, and somewhere in the middle of the game, when you control a plane. Rest is boring.



Rate: 6/10

Why are old games always better than new ones???

The plane level isn't interesting, it's annoying as hell - since the controls are awfully unsuited to flying a plane (mouse and stupidly undocumented keyboard W+S/A+D throttle Up+Down / L+R rudder).
You simply CANNOT shoot down the Zeroes and if the planes in the game are going to turn far tighter than the laws of physics allow, then a better control system might be paramount... Killing an AIRCRAF CARRIER with the machine guns on your plane? Whilst your idiot wingmen neither attack the ships NOR keep those invincible Zeroes off your arse? Ridiculous. ANNOYING. There are some good sequences in this game, but this is a huge stain on it.
