Like most games in the series, each mission begins with a briefing accompanied by photos of the war. It’s all good stuff and your typical Medal of Honor shit. As always, the voice acting that is here is decent and Germans actually shout in German. The story really isn’t amazing or anything but just the fact that there’s a central villain makes this game a little more interesting than others in the series. James is an agent of the Office of Strategic Services and you must battle through six missions and hunt down a dangerous Nazi named Sturmgeist who is the head of a secret Nazi project. There’s actually somewhat of an overarching story here other than “it’s war, complete the objectives”. For those who don’t know, he was the silent protagonist in the first game in the series. Lieutenant James Patterson returns to kill more Nazi scum. With that said, this review will cover the original Xbox version and the HD remaster so let’s take a look. In fact I liked it so much that the only reason I bought the Medal of Honor 2010 reboot was because it came with a digital version of Frontline HD which was eventually released separately on PlayStation Network. My favorite Medal of Honor game has always been Allied Assault and I think the next runner up would be Frontline, released in May of 2002 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and the Nintendo GameCube. One could say it’s poor man’s Allied Assault, or simply Allied Assault’s console counterpart but I see them as separate games. If you were one of the unlucky few who didn’t have a PC that could run Allied Assault back in the day, then Medal of Honor: Frontline was for you. The series peaked in 2002 and then it was pretty much downhill from there.
