Activision having sniped away the core people behind EA's Medal of Honor: AA results in a game in much the same spirit, but easier, and leaning harder on the "cinematic experience". Now, levels boil down to deceptively linear corridors briskly ushering you from one theme-park thrill to the next, but the breathless hustle did make for an impressive spectacle. Part of the new ease also comes from some improved mechanics, with a heavier focus on cover, flanking, and some light AI support fire.

The original CoD redefined WWII shooters with its intense, cinematic set-pieces (storming Stalingrad! D-Day chaos!) and squad-based immersion. The sound design and battle chatter made you feel like part of a war, not a one-man army. But its linear, scripted nature feels dated next to later entries, and the difficulty spikes (especially on Veteran) border on sadistic

Copycat of Medal of Honor with less realistic gameplay but it was still a good game for its time.

A solid start to this franchise. It falls categorically into the glut of WWII shooters of this era but it is at least in the middle.

The beginning of a great franchise, but not quite great yet.
