Ballistics Report

Pros

Best single player campaign in years: Tons of entertaining scripted scenes, thoughtful level design and mission objectives, and several surprises will keep players on their toes and interested from start to finish. Everyone raves about the Omaha level, but that’s not even close to the best MOHAA has to offer.

Gorgeous graphics and lush sound: The visuals are quite good, and the sound is simply extraordinary. Are you playing a game, or watching a movie? It’s hard to tell sometimes. The soundtrack is spirited and fitting throughout the game.

Variety in settings: The six single player missions are discontinuous, yes, but they provide great breaks in scenery. North African villages, German towns, snowy forests, bombed out French cities, and vast underground bunkers mean you’ll never feel like you’re in the same old place again.

Dance!

Cons

Multiplayer is lackluster: Both the execution and the interface woes make MOHAA multiplayer pale even more in comparison to the stellar single player game. Objective-based match is mis-labeled. In practice, it’s just round-based team deathmatch

Steep system requirements: OK so I’m just complaining because I still don’t feel like shelling out the scratch for a new GeForce 3 or Radeon 8500.

Some of the sniper levels are annoying: A couple of the sniper-filled levels are annoying (where the heck am I getting shot from?!?!), but not so much so as to overshadow the many brilliantly designed missions.

The ending sucks: But that’s ok, because this isn’t a Squaresoft game. We played it for the gameplay, not to watch movies.
