Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

Possibly my personal favorite shooter of all time, and the pick of the litter of the WW2 shooter craze. Reenacting the opening scene of Private Ryan was derivative but gripping; even on normal difficulty it was a major trial. That's not even the hardest mission, though. Very well paced and diverse.

The best WW 2 game.I will never forget the first time I played D-Day,it was like being in Saving Private Ryan.

A reigning console shooter of its day bringing in an upstart developer to give it the PC shooter treatment. As far as gameplay, the result was solid and gave them the hit they wanted. As to the campaign, it tied the series' spirit closer to the big budget late-90s WWII movies which inspired it (well at least the big action sequences and swelling orchestras—not much room to attempt teary poignancy here) with big set-pieces like the Normandy landing or a ruined town full of snipers.

great for children who've never had to experience the horrors of actual war
