Medal of Honor: European Assault

"...the excellent control system and degree of tension European Assault inspires marks it out as a game worth checking out if you're into traditional WWII shooters - although its lack of originality or longevity makes it more of a recommended rental than a full price purchase."

"The game's wide-open levels actually encourage players to explore, giving the series a fresh feel compared to past games. Unfortunately, a very brief campaign and no online multiplayer means the fun doesn't last long."

"With this title, however, EA has shown that they aren't going to give up without a fight, and they've succeeded in breathing new life into the series by opening up the levels and adding some interesting gameplay mechanics. If what we've seen in European Assault is any indication, the reports of the franchise's death are greatly exaggerated."

"Sure there is nothing particularly inventive or innovative about the game's features, but played as a whole, the overall experience is still very satisfying. It's good despite the faults in AI, the less than attractive visuals, and an unnaturally slow beginning. EA listened to the critics and its audience, giving players open environments, squad control, and levels you can actually explore."
