Medal of Honor: Allied Assault’s expansion Spearhead is one of the best games I’ve ever played, and certainly the best expansions. Fixing the vast majority of the problems with Allied Assault (in particular those pesky snipers), adding more actions, more allies, and new weapons Spearhead features my favorite FPS campaign ever. The problem is – its just to short. While the first 2 sections – D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge are amazing the Berlin missions have some problems with direction and difficult, all while slowing down that fast paced gameplay of previous levels. All in all this makes an already short campaign even weaker, only saving itself by a strong finish (there is tanks, need I say more.) Gameplay – For the majority of levels in Spearhead you’ll have a few decent allies fighting alongside you, including American and British soldiers. Couple that with the most intense action to date in a first person shooter and you have an amazing campaign. Featuring well thought out missions that don’t leave you wondering where to go while at the same time providing some open space in which to operate in your own style. The bottom line is that Spearhead improves on Allied Assault in many ways which was, of course, a great shooter in its own right. Graphics and Sound – Spearhead features the same great graphics and sound (with a few new effects for items) seen in the original Allied Assault and they are still impressive as ever. For more information see my Medal of Honor: Allied Assault review. Value – This is the real issue with Spearhead. Although it does introduce a few multiplayer maps the multiplayer really just falls by the wayside and the campaign is just to short. To put it bluntly Spearhead really just falls short of being a great value at $30 BUT in the end for its great few hours of gameplay and addition to the multiplayer I still recommend Spearhead to someone looking for a few very solid hours of gameplay.
