GamePro

It does create an eerie sense of tension and excitement. This is probably as close as you want to get to real battle.

Games Domain

The weapons effects are likewise perfect, with the machine gun sounds being nothing short of thunderous and the sounds of bullets whizzing past your head being just like you'd imagine them.

Hot Games

The environments look spectacular, with appropriate decor lining every object in the huge stages and good use of shadows and lighting. Character animation is a riot.

PSX Nation

What makes this game so great is that it uses a lot of cues from real life events to create believable and exciting missions... If there ever was a crowning jewel in first person shooters on the PlayStation, this is it.

Absolute Playstation

The graphics are a bit grainy but the fine animation and attention to detail more than make up for it. There are tons of secrets to open up, lots of game options and intense challenging gameplay.

While Medal's mechanics are every bit as sophisticated as "Goldeneye," it's clear that PlayStation isn't up to the task in terms of graphics, though that shouldn't be any surprise. What is does have is gameplay by the trench-load, war movie tension and really grizzly violence.

IGN

With the exception of some occasoinally sticky controls and stuttering areas, this game is deep, varied, and fun as hell.

Gamezilla!

The real stars of the game are the Nazi soldiers. Their reactions and behavior are unparalleled in any other PSX game. Actually, the enemy AI rivals PC games and even exceeds them in some places.

Gaming Age

The environments are some of the most atmospheric I have ever experienced in a first person shooter - PlayStation or PC.

Game Revolution

The closest Playstation will get to "Goldeneye," both in terms of system performance as well as the standard set by Mr. Bond's breakthrough gameplay. This game was a complete surprise, a great game released with little to no hype.

GameCritics

The developers have taken the theme and backdrop story very seriously and it shows because the WWII iconography in MoH is captured beautifully not only in the costumes of the characters and the design of the architecture, but it also permeates through the detailed movie-like orchestra scores that make up the background music.

Cheat Code Central Platinum

This game has some rough edges but on the whole you won't find a deeper FPS on the PlayStation. This takes the good old "Castle Wolfenstein" theme and breaks entirely new ground. For those thinking that "Tomorrow Never Dies" is gonna fulfill your "GoldenEye" dreams, forget it. Medal of Honor is the one.

GameSpot

Nothing really adds to the game's realism like the enemy AI, which is more advanced than any we've seen in console first-person shooters before.

Everything from the way the guns fire, to the way the enemies take a round to the chest, everything is done with complete authenticity.

Electric Playground

If MOH has a noteable flaw, it’s that the sniper-scope---which you’ll often rely on heavily---has the odd drawback/realism glitch of not allowing you to see farther in actual, raw distance than you would normally...it merely brings targets into clearer, closer focus.

Gaming Maxx

The missions are too short, the controls too slow, the graphics too dated, the characters too dull.
