War game with intelligent enemies
Article Abstract:
The action Medal of Honor Underground gets high marks for animating the enemy the player encounters to respond in familiar but unique ways. The game is made up of 27 missions set in WWII Europe. The main character is working with the French underground on various assignments around the Mediterranean basin. The game is more challenging than it's shoot'em up brethren because enemy soldiers shoot from around corners, take cover at most any noise, and toss grenades back. The Playstation game, designed for teenagers and up, is realistic without being gory.
