I think Gamespot was a little hard on this game. The gameplay is what you'd expect from a MOH game, but it still works well. A feature that has a little more importance than in the previous ones is sprint. This game involves a lot less "run and gun", and a lot more find "find cover a wait for the right shot" type game play. So the sprint feature comes in handy when you've been caught in the open by a german machine gunner. As I said before, the syle of play has changed a bit. Not so much run and gun, more working your cover. The health bar is gone; instead, when you take damage, the outside fo the screen gets red, the more damage you take, the smaller the screen gets (more red). Fortunately, to get your health back, all you have to do is duck behind cover to avoid taking damage and , after a few seconds, the red will gradually go away. The graphics are on par with a MOH game, not much new there. The sound is what sets MOH game apart, and this game is no different. W/ surround sound you are really in the middle of the fight. All in all a decent MOH game, not the best one one, but the worst one either.
