Call of Duty, but better.
Absolutely love the shooters for the PS2, especially if they are from Medal of Honor series. The dark aura of it gives it a more sinister look and the settings and all of that looked amazing!
Playing this game in 2024 is so wild, especially because I remember loving this title as a kid. Its early on dual-thumbstick FPS gameplay really shows, and you can see how they were still trying to figure it out. But man some of these missions are wonderful.
Hands down one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, and that alone makes it worth a play!
But be warned - whoever developed the weapons in this one clearly have never used a shotgun or an mp40, because these are the worst instances of either in gaming over the last two decades.

I mostly remember this game for my brother and mother both liking it, especially my mother, she really did not play many games but this was one that she really liked; it was nice being able to share a video game with her.
She wanted to try it again after all this years so we took turns playing it and while the game has aged quite a bit, and the controls are kind of strange compared to modern console FPS, it was a fun trip down memory lane.

The HD version isn't great, but it's still better than this.
one of the last games I ever sat down with my Dad to play together, fond memories
I revisited this as I remember it being one of the first games I played frequently, although I was so young I couldn’t get past the first couple of levels, it didn’t stop me from replaying them constantly (sorry mum and dad).
I expected to play the first few levels until the nostalgia wore off and I got bored, instead I played though the whole game. The gunplay holds up pretty well, despite some annoyances (weapons can be comically inaccurate, some enemy death animations can take so long that it’s difficult to tell if they’re even dead, and the aim jolting whenever you’re hit is frustrating, especially against manned turrets and aiming with a joystick).
The presentation and level variation really carries this game, from one of the more memorable D-Day recreations, fighting across an armoured train, to an undercover mission in a large Holland manor, with libraries, clock rooms, and kitchens filled with knife throwing caterers. It does a good job of making places feel real and lived in, even though it’s still funnelling you through a linear path of nazi blasting.
Call of Duty definitely blows this game out of the water when it comes to set pieces, large explosive battles, and responsive gunplay, but this game still offers a lot of charm with it’s levels that feel like they were made with a great deal of care. Plus it’s just good wholesome fun shooting hundreds of nazis.

Would rate it higher but the save system is shocking
Back when war FPS games actually had to "try". Very dated I'm sure but that's a big part of the appeal for me, personally. The lack of weapon sway makes the aiming a lot easier but there's still plenty of challenge. Probably one of the better shooter campaigns I've played in general (really love the documentary cutscenes between levels).
The Bread is Delicious, thanks Nazi chefs!
Aside from a gameboy I had as a kid, this was the first GameCube game I ever played. The night was got the system, my dad rented this game from Blockbuster. I snuck upstairs in the early morning to play it before he woke up. The D Day level struck me and felt so real at the time.
One funny memory I have with this is our lack of knowing we needed a memory card for the GameCube. Every time I played this game I had to start from the very beginning. Each time I would see how many levels I could progress.

Started the FPS genre for me. Just had a ton of fun with it. Not sure if it holds up at all, but it was great in the moment
recently played through this with my dad
the lack of checkpoints is unfortunate especially in the longer levels

A real classic, pretty brutal on hard and the lack of checkpoints can make this a really frustrating game, but the music, story and atmosphere propels this game into something special.
I was never the biggest fan of Shooter, but this game really attracted me, I really enjoyed playing it.
Used to play this game a ton when I was a kid. While the gameplay feels extremely clunky by today's standards the missions, atmosphere, and soundtrack put many modern FPS games to shame
great game
It's decent but probably not worth playing anymore.
AI MEU DEUS
My memories of this game are outweighed by memories of my brother who loved WWII explaining to me the tierlist of guns in this game and their historical significance.
My first WWII FPS, hasn't aged well compared to some FPS games of the era but for the time it was amazing
definitely a very impressive game for the time but wow did Call of Duty 2 do a number on this genre
I had to leave a review because I am heading into the console scene of the franchise to finish it off, and I played this one nearly a year ago.
Frontline was the first PS2 Medal of Honor game that came out the same year as Allied Assault, which was PC only. Frontline wasn't as remembered however as that game, and I can see why.
The game is a tad bit clunky, and the shooting feels a bit floaty. Soldiers still react to shots based on where you hit them, they have different ranks and uniforms, you get the idea.
What makes Frontline very lackluster compared to Allied Assault is what I already mentioned: The action does not pack a punch, it can be really dull and while the whole game has it's intense moments, the overall gameplay can be boring.
In 2003, only one year after, the sequel, Rising Sun came out...

Nostalgic for this one. Some Levels feel unbalanced. When you die, you start from the beginning and that has to be the worst feeling in gaming.
A very influential FPS of its time featuring one of the most impressive and cinematic experiences with the infamous D-Day / Normandy first level. The introduction was very cinematic coupled with impressive (for the time) voice and sound effects.
Graphics were good for the time and the art direction was adequate featuring muted colors for most of the levels. Gameplay was good for the time but pales in comparison to all the improvements that other FPS games have made since then.
