Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Spearhead (2003 Video Game) User Reviews

Worthy Sequel

[GreyFox37 · 10/10 · 13 November 2003]

to correct ulmer there, you play a 1st lt. by the name of mike powell in allied assault.

as for this game, wow, what can i say. 9 missions really was worth the 20 bucks i spent, and the cutscenes with gary oldman narrorating were surperbly done. i didn't think anything could top or meet the omaha beach scene from the original, but once barnes leaped out of that plane, my jaw hit the ground at the atmosphere i was seeing.

the medal of honor series are perhaps the BEST games EVER made next to the highly noted thief series. world war 2 is such a fantastic and fun time to study about, and with these games, you can take part in a piece of the history and the sacrifice that we went through in order to achieve what we did. way to go EA

Gary Oldman?!

In "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault," you get to play as a Sergeant in World War II. You go behind enemy lines in France, rush the frontline on D-Day, and even get to drive a tank around.

In "Spearhead," you are Sgt. Jack Barnes. You get to parachute down into the towns of france; you get to fend off attackers at the battle of Ardennes in Belgium; you get to sniper off Germans in their home world.

The expansion pack, "Spearhead," is ten times better than the original. The graphics, the sound, the environment, and the levels are much better. I recommend you pick up the MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT DELUXE EDITION like I did, which contains both games, as well as a preview of the upcoming Pacific MOH game. Oh, it also comes with walkthrough guides, for all the cheaters out there.

4/5 for MOH: AA, 5/5 for SPEARHEAD.

not that good

[NHL567 · 3 August 2004]

Allied Assault was better than Spearhead because of the fact that most of the missions were probably real,

In Allied Assault you play as OSS agent 1Lt. Mike Powell, you lead the way in Africa, destroy the Sub Pens in Norway, land in the infamous Omaha Beach, fight your way through bocage country in Normandy, steal the plans for the Tiger 2, fight you way through a war torn French Village, drive a tiger tank and storm a German fort, the game play was amazing but some of the graphics and skins were iffy, one of the best WW2 games on the market and it lead to the production of Call of Duty

In Spearhead, the missions are somewhat glitchy, laggy and for the most part factious, there are many noticeable mistakes in the game, in the first level Welcome to Normandy, the officer in front of you speaks in a New Yorker voice while during the initial jump when everyone stands up his voice changes to British, in fact you don't land in Normandy you land in Holland, the 501st PIR landed in Normadny no allied unit during D-day ever penetrated Danish Airspace, no Britihs paratrooper ever landed in an American Dropzone vice versa, during the bulge you lead 4 soldiers to take out a German depot, that for a fact would not have happened as all 4 would've been killed. During the German assault if one enemy soldier even gets past the trenches you fail the mission, no American unit ever used German weapons in strength during the Bulge they all had American built weaponry, and the ammo came from dead or wounded soldiers. another noticeable glitch is trying to shoot down the Stuka, you can shoot 300 rounds of 40mm ammo and the stuka will still be flying and you fail the mission, during the battle of Berlin a doubt that any western allied soldier ever made it to Russian lines through German control territory, a T-34 needs at least 3 crew man to man it, in the game your character is the only soldier manning the tank.

i give MOHAA a 8.5/10 and

Spear Head 2.5/10

About jinjiana's mistakes

[nichtaufgeben1994 · 26 December 2004]

1.The Americans technically did not paratroop with the British, but they sometimes got mixed up.

2.Barnes in Berlin is an OSS agent (whom you may have heard of in MOHAA), and is there only for the documents that are contained in the safe.

3.There were both Rangers in and 101st guys at Bastagone! 4. Glenn Brody is right in every aspect!

The PIR landed with the Americans.

The Americans frequently got mixed up.

The British fought alongside the Americans on D-day

To Answer the Man Who Answered 'Mistakes'

I think you misinterpreted jinjaninja's comments...

1. There were British paratroopers on D-Day, yes....however, they did NOT drop with the Americans. They were on the other end of the beachhead

2. He's saying that, in the game, there are Rangers in Bastogne rather than the 101st or 82nd ABN troops who were actually there

OK, with that out of the way....this is a fun little expansion, but way too short for the money. A gamer of decent skill can have it finished on the same day they purchase it.

To answer the man with "mistakes"

[GlennBrody0312 · 11 July 2003]

First of all, you obviously don't know A LOT about WWII history....

#1: Of course there were British paratroopers on D-Day!!! What the hell do you think the PIR was? For an American, I'm guessing you've never seen "The Longest Day", with Sean Connery who plays a British paratrooper ON D-DAY!!!

#2: NO, you are wrong that it was only Rangers who fought in Bastogne. HELLO! Again, you've never seen "Band of Brothers"! The famous Easy company, PARATROOPERS, where best know for the pushing back of German troops from the frontline.

and #3: WHO CARES what Barnes is doing in Berlin during the Soviet raid? In fact, I found it to be the funnest level in the game. It reminded me of "Enemy at the Gates".

This was a very fun add-on and I enjoy playing it over and over again, whether it be single-player or playing the multiplayer. I recommend buying it...but I also recommend stop being so technical and just loosen up! It's only a game, after all.

Mistakes

[jinjaninja · 4 May 2003]

There are a number of mistakes in this game: 1. The British did not paratroop with the Americans on D-day.

2. The allied soldiers in the winter levels are rangers, not airborne.

3. What the hell is he doing in Berlin? However I felt that the game overcame these, and was very enjoyable to play.
