- Post a comment Gamespot has written a new preview of the Xbox version of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the Quake III engine powered World War II FPS.
"The explosion of World War II into pop culture coincides with Saving Private Ryan's arrival in theaters a few years ago. The horrific amphibious landing on Omaha Beach and the impassioned defense of a nameless bridge in a French hamlet have proven to be an invaluable source of inspiration to video game makers and producers. In the past year, an increasing number of games have been set against the backdrop of the greatest conflict known to man--with no end to the stream in sight. The popular Medal of Honor series, which originated on the PlayStation, is the perfect example of this trend. The game merges history lessons (albeit, ones of a military, rather than sociopolitical significance) with stealth-based gameplay and devious enemy AI. Developer 2015--the studio that produced Sin for the PC--is familiar with the trappings of a first-person shooter, and it is eager to bring the series to the Xbox with a quasi-sequel, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault."
