Medal of Honor Frontline

In Frontline, you go behind enemy lines as Lt. Jimmy Patterson. Your missions range from the D-Day assault on Omaha Beach, to surveilance of your Nazi nemesis aboard and atop a speeding armored train, to the epic battle for control of Nijmegen Bridge, a strategic choke point in the Allied drive into the heart of Nazi Germany.

It was especially nice of you to let us play as either Aragorn, Gimli, or (our favorite) Legolas. Having the actors--including Sir Ian!--voice all the battle cries really makes a huge difference. The first time we got to unlock one of the video extras (an interview with Elijah Wood), we thought, "This is as much fun as eating candy." [ more on The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ] |
