    It is sad, really, that this franchise died. I still remember how thrilling it was back then, and for the most part still is. I mean, today's games just focus on visuals, as this focused on gameplay and physycs. Speaking of that, I think that together with Mafia 1's driving physycs, this game is still is best for it's animations and mechanics.

    Oh wow, so glad I found this! Im recently disabled, so I've been enjoying the PS1 library (playing on a playstation mini with True Blue usb). I dont have income anymore to support my game collection, so I have to manage with what I got or can afford on a very small budget. I recently came across MOH and absolutely love it! It has helped me get through some of these tough days of being disabled. And I very much enjoyed this video! Thank you for the great content!

    MOH had "modern" movement control scheme. There were 4 (I believe) control schemes and 1 of them was move with left stick, move camera with right and use triggers for shooting. Just the default one was weird (it was weird because it was made for controllers without thumb sticks as they weren't popular at the time / were too new). The only drawback was there was no permanent crosshair.

    The default control scheme was a rather typical control scheme for early FPSes before DualShock became a norm. Doom, King's Field had a very similar one and Duke 3D had it as an option (Cheekily named Doomed)

    First Medal of Honor is still my favorite PS1 game. Probably top three games of all time for me as well though Ace Combat 4 on PS2 is my #1 favorite. I guess Grand Theft Auto Vice City and Medal of Honor would be harder to place for second and third but they are my top three. As for Medal of Honor Underground I say it is a big improvement over the first game overall in terms of missions but it lacks a certain charm I feel the first game has. Maybe it's my nostalgia of the first one being stronger and playing it with my cousin and uncle. I have played both pretty much since they released but something about the first game I like a bit better. As for the PS2 games I have played most and equally as good. People complain about Rising Sun but I personally loved it back in 2004. For me Rising Sun's cliffhanger ending with saving the brother that was as far as I know never resolved though I think mentioned in a PSP Medal of Honor is Rising Sun's only downfall. I have been thinking about replaying Rising Sun soon myself though probably have to buy it for my OG Xbox because my PS2 copy is scratched and I need another game for my OG Xbox anyway.

    I love the old Medal of Honor games. I really liked the idea of ​​combining world war and secret agent stories. However, after Medal of Honor Frontline, the best part of the series, the series lost its roots, which was a real shame. Still, Medal of Honor, Underground and Frontline will forever be among my all time favourites.

    Although I still liked and appreciated moh rising sun keeping things fresh by going after the Japs in lush green hillsides , jungles and temples Most agree many aspects took a slight back step and the charm was missing , something about the moody orchestra at night in the European setting with the well dressed Nazi's to contend with can never be beaten

    Age of Empires II and MoH made me interested in history. I always said that these two games sparked my interest in history, over 20 years later I'm a history teacher. And by still gaming myself and with games like BF1 BFV and some of the CODs I do connect well with the children to spark their intrest. Love your review, and as someone who played the game when it came out I have to agree that it is a masterpiece. And when the mates come over we have a cigar and some beer and we like to play MoH (and other games) local multiplayer and just shoot at each other it is super fun to do.

    You can use a plug-in to play it with mouse using epsxe emulator. Its not perfect but very fun. Its sucessor, though (MOH Underground) you can play it with a mouse injetor called DolphinDuck and using the Duckstation emulator. It's almost perfect mouse raw input. It plays like a modern shooter but with the old MOH satisfying gunplay. I'm having só much fun!

    This video is wrong. 1. You can enable dual stick control in the game settings. 2. You can shoot while moving, you don't have to stop. You also can permanently enable crosshair in Medal of Honor Underground. 3. BAR has the best weapon sound, but you only show the gameplay with MP40, which has the worst sound. 4. You talk about undercover gameplay and showing papers, but you don't show it. 5. It's shame that you show gameplay with sound ONLY from the first mission. 6. It's nonsense that you say hard missions are bad/negative things.
