Medal of Honor (1999 Video Game)
10/10
A pioneer of modern FPS-war gaming.
6 July 2019
Having just recently installed a PS1 emulator on my MacBook, I've explored the opportunity to explore an era of classic games that lasted before my birth. After watching Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", I became interested in exploring more content based on World War II. I had come to know that Spielberg had conceived the original Medal of Honor game as a hybrid of the classic FPS game "Goldeneye N64", with the setting of WWII Europe. I had immediately gotten hold of this game and haven't been able to set it down until I had completed the entire story campaign.

This is one of the few games that I felt was worth completing the entire single-player campaign, given my reluctance to waste time playing dispassionately-developed games. The passion Spielberg has for WWII stories and experiences, radiates in this game as it does in his films.

Speaking of experience, the game combines its well-constructed elements of game-control, sound-design, level-design, Artificial-Intelligence and musical score to deliver a thrilling and memorable experience for the player. The atmosphere in this game ranges from suspenseful stealth to powerful intensity, especially with the realistic sound-design of guns and explosions and the excellent mood-setting musical score.

Needless to say, this is a 10/10 game. I have no complaints with this game, as it's well made with no bugs or glitches. Given how innovative this game was at the time, I highly suggest avid gamers and WWII enthusiasts to check this game out. I'm glad that games like these are immortalised with the help of emulators, and I honestly can't wait to play the next installment: Medal of Honor: Underground.
