I bought this game when it first came out, and I had not heard one thing about it.  It was one of those impulse buys.  I didn't expect too much out of it, just something to do, but I was suprised.  This game is great.  I wouldn't say it's on the same level and Nintendo 007 series or Perfect Dark, but Medal of Honor was very fun.  A couple of the things that I think could have been different are features like shooting the German's helmet off.  It's kind of cool at first, but gets frustrating later.  Perhaps the biggest fault of the game was that it was a little too easy.  I like a challenge.  Althought I finished all of the levels fairly quick, I find myself going back and trying them again, especially after I watch war movies.
