"Medal of Honor is a 1999 first-person shooter video game, developed by DreamWorks Interactive and published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation." -Wikipedia.

Graphics: 8
Even though the graphics have not aged well, for the time, this was revolutionary. Dreamworks squeezed every bit of power out of the PS1. Even though the graphics aged badly, it produces this charm that I cant really explain, you just need to play for yourself to see what I mean.

Sound: 9
Medal of Honor had a composed soundtrack that you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_st3o1Wiq_8&list=PL6742B712B6EC3812 The soundtrack is amazing and fits the games tone perfectly. It genuinely feels like you are playing through a blockbuster movie. Honestly the game is worth playing through for the soundtrack alone. When I was trying to figure out the objective in Berlin, the unsettling music gave an amazing feeling of immersion.

Gameplay: 7
The game play works well, and for the most part is fun and exciting. Combat feels slow, and my imagination may make the firefights more exciting then they seem. But for the PS1, this was mind blowing. The controls work alright, but if this game used the Dual Shock controller, it would benefit it.

Overall: 7
Overall I might be making the game sound better than it really is, but I feel all FPS players need to experience. It somehow kept more more immersed than some modern WW2 shooters. Although this game is very far from perfect, I recommend giving it a shot!

**I'm sorry if this review felt ramble-y.**
