Joshua at the Battle of Normandy

By Joshua Gaberel

 

MEDAL OF HONOR Allied Assault (MOHAA) is a must have for any WWII history buff or a first person shooter. It is so far the greatest that I have seen.

In MOHAA you start off as Lieutenant Mike Powell in the 2nd ranger battalion, in the 1942 preparation for the landings in Africa. You and a group of rangers lead the invasion by a few hours and go in and severely disrupt the Africa Corps. Here you meet up with a S.A.S Agent and you complete your mission together. Then you move on to Norway and you go in undercover as a German officer and destroy a German u-boot. Now that you have disrupted the German Navy, the landings at Normandy can commence. You go with the 2nd ranger battalion and land at the Charlie sector of Omaha beach. This part of the action is worth the price of the gamea lone. It looks exactly like the Omaha scene in Saving Private Ryan. Once you get onto the bluff you land in the thick hedge groves of Northern France. Thefightinghereis intense. You must battle small towns and large cities. As the fighting ends in Northern France you move down to the Siegfried line in Germany. Here you must rescue a group of POW's in an old mustard gas producing facility. Then you must lay bombs and blow up the whole facility. Mission accomplished, the war and game are then over for you.

I think they could have stuck some more missions in the game, but then I played the multiplayer off gamespy (http://www.gamespy.com)

The game is incredibly awesome. It has to be ten times better than America’s Army game. All the servers work, and there are many choices to the maps you get.

A perfect 10.
