Medal of Honor: Underground is a video game that is the prequel to the World War II hit Medal of Honor. It was initially released for the PlayStation video game console on October 23, 2000. In 2002, the game was re-released in Europe as part of the compilation Medal of Honor / Medal of Honor: Underground. It later was re-released a second time on the North American PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable as a 474 MB file for $5.99 on June 11, 2009. It was developed by DreamWorks Interactive and was published by Electronic Arts. Prima released a strategy guide for the game in 2000 featuring the same cover art as the original PlayStation release.
I have to say. There's a certain charm to the more poligonal environments of yester year.
+Matthew Waugh Especail the Ps1 has a special Graphical charm its diffrent from the N64, the Terrain and the polygons in Ps1 "wobble" around which you cant see in the N64 because it was a more powerfull machine.
Not so much that it was more powerful, it just lacked the ability to perform the floating point math. The wobble comes from the Ps1 "snapping" the verteices to a rounded number instead of a .1 .2 .3 etc... It's something that the Sega Saturn and some early 3D arcade cabinents do as well. The N64 was the first home console with 3D to avoid it.
I finished this game about 10 times. Enjoyed it every single time ! Possibly the best first person shooter on the PS1
That wasn't on PS1
Cerulean Voice MOHU definetly 100% WAS on PS1
@ Edgars Edgars : He means _Golden Eye_ wasn't on the PS1.
I still play it to this day I usually play both this and Medal Of Honor at least once a year. Just massively apart of me and my childhood nostalgia.
@@CommanderSuberoxsame here. The 3 I visit most are medal of honor, tomb raider and dino crisis.
My favorite part about this game was when you would throw a grenade at the enemy, they would try to pick them up to them to throw them back.
And if you threw a nade at more than two enemies one of them would jump over the grenade to minimize the explosion and cover the other two!
And if you're really lucky, sometimes they catch it in midair and throw it right back at you. Yes, really.
I think i remember when you throw a grenade to a dog, they would pick it up and bring it to you
For the time and Evan by today's standards I would say it was a pretty impressive Ai
@@Coldandamp the problem is that today's standard is way too low
Games like halo have better AI than most modern fps games
Of all the PS1 era shooters, this is the one I'd love them to remaster the most. Maybe do MOH with it and release it as a special edition, they'd make big sales off that.
great level design, fantastic sound effects ,outstanding music. I miss the old school WW2 MOHs
Great review!
A couple of things though. Did you consider turning on the crosshair in the options? That way, the whole stopping to shoot thing from the first game is eliminated. Also, control option 4 is dual analog as we use today. I like to consider Medal of Honor to be the first FPS to use dual analog absolutely right. :)
+elbryan42 I didn't know that was an option to be honest, but I do enjoy the reticle system. It was pretty common in shooting games on consoles, so it's not a big deal.
@@Gggmanlives If I remember correctly, the first FPS with a female protagonist was "No One Lives Forever".. and lather this one... maybe because they saw that NOLF had a good reception... excellent video as always "Saludos Jaime Asoleado" :-)
The men running towards the gunfire is outstanding, a life lesson given in a game that will be remembered for many years..
No mention of dogs with guns and robots?
Well remembered!
Panzerknacker Unleashed! 😉
Wait what? I got to the as castle with knights. But there’s robots?
@@Poobell1 Last mission. They're like humansized nutcrackers, really tough.
@@Poobell1 It's a secret mission that is unlocked after beating the game, it should be on the mission list.
The fact that you showcased and reviewed my favorite childhood game whil making a jab the SJWs earns you an insta-sub from me!
+Banzaislacker Thanks!
It's hard getting into this game now. It's laggier than the original, and the bullets randomly go sideways. The original had that issue too but not nearly this severe. It was usually smg rounds going a bit above your aim and could be chalked up to high recoil. Now the original MOH I could play forever. Love that game.
I've been on a week long binge on your channel and seeing you talk about some of the games from way back when made me really happy. Your channel is awesome and you are awesome. Thank you.
I can't believe you didn't talk about that creepy-ass final level of the game. That was both an ingenious idea and a scary one at that time
"but of course you dont hear sjw talking about that do you ? I guess that would actually mean they have to play a video game"
Shots = fired
what a sentence hahahaha, +10 points
I know you get a lot of requests but have you ever thought about reviewing "Darkest Of Days"? There's not a lot of reviews of it so I'd love to see you review it.
+CyborgSoup AGREED
+CyborgSoup I'll check it out.
Gggmanlives Thanks man
+CyborgSoup I remember DWTerminator absolutely hated it
Ivan Malek Not seen him review it, just Yahtzee and thought it's an interesting concept I'd like to see gggman cover
Such nostalgia from this game. The weapon animations are just fantastic (the sten a personal fav) at that time most games just had the gun dip off screen to reload, in fact I think the pistols still do in this too.
I love this game. Music is amazing. It still defends the fact that shooter doesn't need dubstep (etc.) as music to be fitting in fps game. I loved female character. Setting as a rebellion is neat concept. I want a remake so bad... Those later levels with bizarre enemies were sweet bonus. I will propably forever remember this game...
PS. This game's cheats are berserk. Bouncing bullets, unlimited ammo, 2x fire rate... get a rpg. (There is no reload in unlimited ammo).
The sound design of this game is so good. I vividly remember the entire soundscape of the nazi submarine you had to sneak through in the original game
I've played many shooters across many platforms since the late 90's. Last holiday season I played through medal of honor 1 and underground back to back and while the first game is still fun, underground has the extra punch to make it stand up to any modern shooter. Also, even with 15 years of experience under my belt, this is one of the hardest games I've played. The later missions on the highest difficulty setting are quite challenging, much harder than the first game.
Does great reviews and hates on SJW's. I love this channel.
such a unique point of view on youtube (FUCKING SARCASM, MATE)
@death wish And liberals have no qualms calling people with conservative viewpoints and Republicans Nazis and alt right. So who gives a shit
Nobody likes sjw's, just a bunch of pussies crying about everything, and then name calling because they never have a valid argument for anything. It's much easier to just call someone a Nazi than it is to try to defend an argument based on all feelings and absolutely no logic. Someday these feelsy little leftists will grow up to be strong and logical republicans, it just takes some people longer than others.
I do find it pretty funny though that they constantly trivialize actual victims with their bullshit, and make words like "racism" and "Nazi" mean absolutely nothing. When you constantly call everyone Nazi's, eventually nobody will care about being called a Nazi anymore, and then you're pretty much fucked. That's where we are now, it's just a running joke that everyone is a Nazi, thanks to the retarded leftists.
@@ermacjones4821 But hey, the good news is Chick-Fil-A stopped supporting the anti-gay organizations.
Progress.
*Sigh* MOH Underground. Good times. Certainly one of the biggest parts of my video game childhood and something which I still enjoy playing to this day
Played it when I was a kid .So entertaining.
Hey ggman...I like how you can enjoy a game for what it is regardless of graphics. I still have my copy of quake 2 for PC...but I still had a blast with the ps1 version. In my garage I still have my windows 95 CPU 355mhz 64 mb of ram amd k6-2 with 3d now..and a 16mb voodoo 2 3d card. That played quake 2 at 1024x768 at 60 fps.And I still enjoyed q2 on ps1, because, of the effort of developers, and I appreciated that....A labor of love..Like you said, even though you don't like console q2.
Going through a PS1 retro phase at the moment and tucked into this over the weekend. Great game to revisit and play. The variety of the mission locations in the game were incredible.
My favorite overall mission is Desert Fox, but individual level would be descending the mountain after you leave Wewelsburg castle.
This is now my favorite review channel.
Man I miss this franchise. Now thanks to the latest one, its pretty much dead now.
God. This channel just keeps getting better and better. Glad to see your channels growing quick. Keep up the good work.
I don't know what Dreamworks Interactive was smoking to elaborate on the last chapter of this game. Don't get me wrong, it was memorable, also, one the most difficult chapters in the game.
True. I love if but a bit wierd on the last part.
You make mu Saturday
every Saturday Gggmanlives!
No matter what the game is I always look forward to your reviews!
I played this a bunch during my PS1 days - in fact I still own it! Really great game, and it has a ton of wacky cheats as the early MoH games were known for. Also, be sure to unlock the bonus missions where you can play as Jimmy from the first game up against a bunch of bizarre enemies in a German castle - zombies, mutant guard dogs, nazi knights, and even robots!
I played this a couple of years ago. I wanted to see what the older MoH games were like, and I ended up liking this better than the newer ones, lol. The controls are a little clunky, but I found this really enjoyable anyways.
Imo this is the best shooter on the PS1. Had a lot of fun with it back in the day.
Great review. One thing I never liked in these earlier console shooters like Goldeneye was that once you died in a level you'd have to restart from the beginning. It's quite annoying though I understand that it has to do with the limitations of the consoles more than anything but it's a gripe I'll always have.
Great, great game.
My third game I ever bought on my playstation and my personal number 2 out of 3 in best MOH games.
I was obsessed with this game when it came out. Serious nostalgia bomb.
Am i the only one who inlove the accent and voice of manon?
I loved the way you made fun of the social justice warriors lol. This game is still one of the best in my opinion. They should update the graphics engine and re-release it with new missions and multiplayer!
Fun Fact: A copy of this game and Return to Castle Wolfenstein are part of the exhibit at the real Castle Wewelsburg in Paderborn, Germany. The room at 2:35 is based on the chamber of the Black Sun.... and you can chill in bean bag chairs there now.
My dad and I used to take turns playing this game for hours :')
THAT anti-SJW commentary.... I love you dude..
It's a dumb comment and even in this very video he tells us why, at 1:41
Though most of anti-SJW arguments are similarly thoughtless tbh.
Just found this channel at random after someone mentioned you on NeoGAF, great stuff!
You also can setup controls in game's settings to modern controls so you don't have to stop to aim every time.
Well its my ever first FPS game.. played it when i was 4, playnig it sitll now at 23.. (i usually complete it once every year or two)
You actually work along side her in Medal of Honor above and beyond
Great Review and nice jab at the SJWs. However, you mentioned how the manual aiming is all screwed up, I enabled "Easy Aiming" and "Zoom Aiming" in options and that seems to clear a lot of that up. With this you can move the crosshair on the screen in any direction you like and it's pretty accurate. However if you haven't been doing it since you were 6 (since I wasn't sure what those meant in the Options at the time and just enabled them for the heck of it) then it will take some getting used to but once you do it's pretty sweet!!
I played MOHU since I was a very little kid and not only I didnt understand the different settings in the menu, I also didnt understand the language ( I am not english ) and what was I supposed to do xD Me, my brother and my dad had to mainly guess what do the objectives meant. It was great game that I will never forget, great memories. I also got used to the aiming system and thought It was very intuitive and simple. Idk, I was surprised to find out not any other game used it since.
I remember greatly enjoying this game back in the day.
1:10 oh snap. :P
Just found your channel, I like your MoH reviews.
Oh come on man, you're asking too much from the SJWs.I mean, not everyone can afford to have an informed opinion or play games, tsk... what a silly idea.
Especially when literally everything under the sun offends you.
+Girolamo Esposito This guy gets it :)
+Girolamo Esposito haha and what's the deal with anita getting people to make videos FOR her? this shit's outta control. you cant make your videos but you know you need to pump them out cause you're running with people's money.
+Girolamo Esposito "Playing" is, like, just a construct man. "Playing" is like dead. You don't need to "play" or "enjoy" games in order to do postmodernist deconstructive critical analysis of said games, man. Like, check you privilege or something. Totally.
I love your stabs at SJWs. Keep doing what you are doing.
Calling Out Fascists Online
I don't know, does he?
Well now we have the same argument but from the other side. Incels are in full on trigger mode about bf5
@@RockGodFuck Funny how you bitches are always obsessed with race and sex. "Oh someone doesn't agree with your political views? Insult their lack of sex?" Come on, grow the fuck up, imbecile
Darryn Jacobs Anti-sjw's aren't obsessed with race and sex when the vast majority of games and movies has white male protagonists, but the second you change that you'll notice you're just as triggered about it as the sjws are. :)
Shit I don't remember knights in armor with swords being in this game ha man how could I forgot that. I loved this game. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 2000 was the end of my days in Higschool and I was still a happy person wondering where my life was going to go.
Dude, Gggmanlives, you are the only person on youtube to have a review of Medal of Honor: Underground! #Whoa
+esotericmissionary That's kinda cool!
The soundtrack in this game is far superior than that of the first game. The difficulty level is harder, the shooting is more fun, and there's more variety in terms of locations and objectives. This is the definitive MOH experience for the psx. The only thing I hate about this game is that damn motorcycle mission. It's impossible to avoid getting hit and even more impossible to kill 95% of the enemies, which ultimately makes it impossible to get the golden medal. It prevented me from getting all the medals in the game, and that was really frustrating.
But even so, I like this one better than the first one.
Wewelsburg castle still gives me the creeps..
Good review, but will you be doing Perfect Dark? As there is an emulator that makes the game that makes the game run smoothly along with a texture pack that fixes all the graphic errors.
+Chaz's Dungeon I think I will at some point.
Gggmanlives Thanks, if you're looking for the file here it is:drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jMJFqrc8dvb1k4aGpwbmk1ME0/view Don't be afraid to say if anything has gone wrong, or if you don't know how to set it up.
+Chaz's Dungeon Thanks for the link!
Gggmanlives That's alright, hope everything goes well. Plus I forgot to mention that you can also use this for Goldeneye 007.
I got super excited seeing this in my feed. I'm surprised Gggman hasn't already reviewed this before..even so I'm happy to see it! :)
That must be most MoH games down now. Looking forward to your review of MoH Airborne at some point. I hold the somewhat unpopular opinion that it's the best game in the series.
+baxopoka98 Yeah, i'd suggest MoH:Airborne. It got a lot of flak when it was out that sure as hell wasnt the fault of the game itself but of market oversaturated with WWII games.
Pavel Skrylnikov Funnily enough it was one of the only WW2 shooters to try something new. The level design was great.
+Pavel Skrylnikov I don't actually remember it being over saturated. I honestly think that whole thing was simply created by word of mouth.
Steven Lornie But to be fair by the mid-2000s the Normandy 1944 thing was getting a bit old.
+Tafferwocky I wouldn't call it the best in the series, but it's a damn solid game. I used to play the shit out of it when I was younger.
Great review! Honestly I put a lot more into this game than Quake I and II back in the day.
I hope someone remakes (not remaster) this game. :)
Man the music! This was definitely the first FPS I ever played, probably my first ever game. Still remember the cheat "Rendezvous Porteclefs" but forgot what it does
Great video, as always. Shame i cannot find 64bit drivers for my cheap-ass gamepad to play the game now, and completing it with just keyboard like MoH1... i just can't do it again, no sir.
another good one man. and check out that indiana jones reference at 2:49
Yoo Gman, great video as usual. I loved the bit about SJWs not playing the games they demonize and hate so vehemently.
Say, did you ever take a look at EYE: Divine Cybermancy? It's a neat, obscure little sourcemod with a cult following. Just a warning though, much like STALKER, this is going to be one of those polarizing, love-it-or-hate-it kind of games. I personally love it, but I'll be the first to say its got flaws.
I spent this morning playing Blade of Agony, the level where it's snowing and you need to get to the train station, guess which game the stole they music from...
I think "The World is Not Enough" for PSX or N64 or both would be a fun throwback.
You've probably already been asked, but I'm new to yr channel (love that you're looking at all these old games, I had a blast with some of these titles you've reviewed as a younger man). You ever thought about playing the Killzone games? I've always been kinda keen to give them a go, even if I haven't heard too many great things about the later games, and the setting/lore seems kind of interesting. Just got a copy of the first one from EBay for like $6, so I'm gonna get stuck into it.
I like the jabs at SJWs in these videos. Keep them up.
+gilgamesh310 Circkle jerking at its worst!
daveruda No.
+gilgamesh310 I disagree. I thought it felt out of place. These are his videos though, so I can't really tell him to stop. Besides, he's once of the most honest reviewers around so even if there's one or two things he says that I don't like, his opinions on games are very well articulated.
Robert Launder It kind of did, tbh. I just get so pissed off at SJWs at times, that it's gratifying to hear that sort of thing.
+gilgamesh310 YEA SJWS dont talk about medal of honor: underground! fucking hypotcrites
The introduction of those knights was a f* jumpscare moment.
Also, the "only explosives" set for multiplayer was one of the first moments in my gaming story where I won from my older brother. God bless the molotov coctails.
Long live the resistance
Medal of Honor Underground💚🎮🕹💚💚💚🎮🕹💚💚🎮🕹💚💚💚🎮🕹💚🎮🕹💚💚
I miss this style of shooter so much. EA put out so many between MOH and their Bond games. While MOH1 felt a little more tactical at parts given the weaponry and ammo count Underground goes a lot more actiony so whichever you want more you got a few options
I find it funny how not one person of the few reviewers I follow can stop themselves from dropping that jab against SJWs every once in a while.
Shows what their popular support really is like.
+Lagger478 Well plus SJW's are part of what's wrong with the internet right now.
I grew up playing Medal of Honor, Underground, Frontline, and Rising Sun (The latter of which I really didn't like.) and I still friggen adore the music.
Me too! I enjoyed rising Sun but not as much as the other three. Frontline is my fave, Underground second.
I wish they still made WW2 shooters today. I just hate the modern combat trend that has taken over the whole fps genre.
The real icing on the cake would be if he showed the secret missions of this game. Oh, you didn't know about the secret missions?
*Slowly turns to you* ICH BIN DER PANZERKNACKER!
Loved this game when I was a kid; great review! Your jabs at SJW's are good, but the butthurt comments from leftists are even better! Just for that you got yourself my immediate like and sub!
The MOH games for the ps1 were some of my favorite games at the time, especially underground.
Oh boy, I loved this game and it's predecessor back then and I still do. Fired them up couple of years ago via emulator and still enjoyed them thoroughly. The only real bone to pick for me is the inexplicable inacurracy of the crosshair. Oh and I have to say that I looove the soundtracks. I was convinced they were composed by Williams before I looked Giacchino up on the internet.
Oh man I remember this game, when we played splitscreen you could only see like 3 meters infront of you.
I remember having the GBA version of this game along with every other first-person shooter for the system, like Dark Arena, Ecks Vs. Sever, and even the ports of Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. Good times.
One of my all time fav games
Would be fun now for you to review Mission Impossible: Operation Surma. I know it's a sub-par Splinter Cell game but it's kinda well hidden from the gaming "scene" in the PS2 era.
found this game for 20p today in a recyle shop bloody marvelous
speaking of underground on Gameboy.... there was a really good MoH game on Gameboy Advance called Infiltrator. you might wanna review that one, not bad for a handheld!
excellent review of one my favourite franchises as a kid and teen
Back then game company port PC games to console. Now it's opposite
+bunnyfreakz Hey, it's not as bad as it was from between 2007-2011. Things seem to be looking up a little.
+Robert Launder I think the backlash got pretty intense and developers realized they were shooting themselves in the foot.
I was eagerly waiting for this review. Now please, please review C&C Renegade. I'd love for you to give your 2 cents on it.
Hey gggman, I have some suggestions if interested. Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter, Pariah, and Darkwatch seem to be forgotten shooters that sort of flopped during the glut of console FPS games during Xbox/PS2 era (excluding Turok). I never played them, but each one seemed to have a cool concept or game play feature, but never really took off. Also Turok (2008) is another.
Eh, Pariah was kind of mediocre back then so it's understandable why it was pretty much ignored. I'd probably play it again sometime though - for some reason I remember laughing a lot at how ridiculous the end of the game was.
Funny you say the Wewelsburg level is like Wolfenstein because that's what Wolfenstein is based on, Wewelsburg Castle.
There's a lot of comments about SJWs, but only one comment about missing dogs with bazookas and nutcrackers made out of steel. I'm dissapointed
You've just won my sub! Thanks for great vid about a game I had loved and had forgot about:)
+MrVibeless Thanks for subbing!
Hey man, would you consider doing a review of Codename: Eagle (1999)? It's old, has kinda clunky controls, but I think it's an underrated classic (in addition to its creators, Refraction Games, being some of the devs on BF 1942).
+Nick Jaqua Mate I'll review anything if I have a copy of it.
Hey, man, will you ever do a review of "The Talos Principle"? Made by the same guys, who did Serious Sam, which is very surprising.
+Ken Catus I bought it in the Steam sale last year, just haven't gotten around t it.
Are you going to be reviewing all of the MOH games?
+Dan Abnormal Eventually.
You really need to do the brothers in arms series. Your reviews rock
German knights, fallschirmjägers using sten smgs, I see where rtcw took queues from
With all the WW2 video game reviews, I someday wish to see a look at Hidden and Dangerous.
Remember loveing this game

Ever thought of doing the Metroid Prime 1+2? I'm guessing you probably don't have a Gamecube, but the Dolphin Emulator seems to be pretty good at emulating Gamecube games. I'd also like to see you tackle Wii FPSes, although that may be unlikely.
+PairofPliers Nintendo are a bit psycho with their copyright claims, so I'm hesitant to spend all the effort making a review for Metroid to have it flagged.
love this game as a kid..
I always love the jabs at SJW.
