This game takes some features found in the previous games to the next level. Your missions vary from rescue operations to sabotage to even taking out enemy infrastructure and supplies. Your missions take place all over Europe and in northern Africa during the Second World War. You play as Lieutenant Mike Powell, a member of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). So, with this being a new game in the series on a whole new platform, we wondered if this game will turn things around for the series. While the game did marginally improve in a number of ways, it still ended up being a mediocre play. We then reviewed the game Medal of Honor: Underground.

Previously, we reviewed the original Medal of Honor and found the game to be good, but with substandard graphics. This game was released in 2002 and would be the third game released in this series. We find out how well this First Person Shooter (FPS) game plays. It's a glorious opening.In this review, we prepare for a beach assault in this PC game Medal of Honor – Allied Assault. I spent a good ten minutes following planes with my crosshairs, hitting the sweetspot and laughing as they tumbled out of control. If you can resist the temptation, you're a better man than I. The relative safety of the cover buildings and crates provide must be weighed against the knowledge that an accurate shot from your rifle can pick planes out of the sky if you stand and fight. Bullets ping, engines "grrrrr" and you're left with a gun and a whole lot of running to do. Another breathless run: this time along wooden decking as Japanese planes scream low enough for you to make out the meatballs on the wings. You're given a short burst of action - and one that you can't win - before being flash-backed two years to the real opening level - Pearl Harbour. Tommy's breathless run for cover after a disastrous boat landing at Tarawa. Intriguingly, the game begins at the end with a brief glimpse of the final level. Gone are the solid walls, obvious hiding places and straight roads, and in their place you'll find trees, wooden shacks and more hidey holes than a Victorian cabinet. It's also a huge change of setting for the series, previously confined to the crumbled cities of WWII Europe. It's like a package holiday with ambushes. In between these two behemoth missions, Tom and his squad fight through the Japanese-occupied Pacific Islands. Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is the tale of rookie Tom Conlin whose tour of duty begins with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and ends with the reclamation of the island of Tarawa. They're the common thread running through all the best bits of EA's assault on the Pacific and with every set-piece you're reminded just what your newest recruit could have been. They fill the sky, spew lead like hail and tear the American Navy a new one.

There's a war going on, but you don't expect the devil to make an appearance.
