Medal Of Honor: European Assault review:
Still, longtime fans of the series will at least want to rent this one, as it delivers some solid WWII shooter action.

Medal of Honor European Assault makes you the driving force in the struggle to liberate Europe.
Medal Of Honor: European Assault review:
But, overall, Medal of Honor: European Assault is a great war game; great controls, great atmosphere. It continues the road walked with Frontline and tweaks some of the elements. However, the big picture is still the same. You follow a standard path while shooting the enemy. The AI of baddies hasn’t improved. The game doesn’t reinvent the war genre. But - it’s still very entertaining.
Medal Of Honor: European Assault review:
European Assault features a short campaign through the European theatre as its sole single-player option. Here you assume the identity of U.S. Army Lieutenant William Holt, who is represented in the game as both an old man narrating a war story and a young, strapping hero living in the midst of one.
Medal Of Honor: European Assault review:
Everyone at some point in their life sits and listens to one of their grandfather’s war stories from the war. No, not Vietnam, not the Korean; we’re talking about the one everybody knows about. There have been more games and movies made about World War II than can even be supported by The History Channel in a single week. What is our fascination with the war? Well, that’s simple. It’s the bravery of the Americans that allied with the world in order to stop an unbelievable tragedy. Like this bravery, EA had enough bravery to revisit the Medal of Honor series for the consoles, especially after the ill-received flop that was Rising Sun. With European Assault, EA goes back to the WWII roots of the game, while at the same time, offering enough changes to make the series fresh once again. Sadly, a few holdbacks keep the game from soaring above the rest, but overall, it’s a promising entry for what was becoming a tired franchise.
