Medal of Honor Underground

"Worst Medal of Honor Ever"

I didnt expect much from this game. No glitzy special effects, just a decent GBA shooter. This game failed.

Graphics 1/10

I'm not one to bash graphics. I prefer DS over PSP and I like Doom 2 and Goldeneye over most new 128 bit games. All I want is stuff to be discernable. This travasty didnt even have that. I started the game and I almost had a mental episode. The graphics were so blocky and this blue blob called a "german" started shooting at me, but i didnt know till i started losing health. I dont expect much out of a GBA game graphicswise, but this shredded my expectations blew them up with extremely pixelated grenades. I got a headache playing this.

Audio 3/10

The audio isnt much better than the graphics, but it is a step up. Gunshots sound like gunshots. Other than that, they stink. The music is incredibly annoying, and when you shoot a guy all you get is a noise that is suposedly german people talking, but it sounds like "shes good".

Gameplay 4/10

First off, the movement is super slow. Youre like walking at like 1 MPH in this game. Then, the auto aim takes away almost all the fun with shooting at "german". I mean if a german is anywhere on your screen, you're usually locked on. In the first mission youre supposed to find your brother, but because the graphics are so bad, you will walk right past him even though he is in plain sight. You can see through the walls half the time and see where the "germans" are even though yourre not supposed to. Your health meter is also slightly different than the other medal of honors. It took me a while to figure this out. It's usually red-yellow-green, and in this, they made it funky colors and when it goes down you see a dull red-yellow-green like normal.

Replay value 1/10

I doubt you would play this game all the way through the first time.

Overall: 2/10

Bottom line: Do not get this game. If you want it, get the PSX version. Never played the PSX myself but I am told it is much better.
