Medal of Honor is the first title in the long-running Medal of Honor series of video games. It was released for the PlayStation in November 1999.
[edit] Plot
In Medal of Honor, the player takes the role of Jimmy Patterson, an OSS agent. The goal of the game is to complete objectives, such as destroying enemy positions, and kill enemy German forces in the process.
The game is notable for Michael Giacchino's extensive cinematic musical score that reflects the mood of the action on screen.
[edit] Trivia
- When the game is starting up and the trademark moon which makes up the "D" in Dreamworks is seen, the boy sitting and fishing from the moon throws away his fishing rod and dons army uniform, and shouts "Geronimo" and jumps off the moon, but his parachute gets caught on the bottom of the crescent.
- If the player goes to the War Room before starting a game and doesn't touch the controller for a few minutes, a movie will start translating some things that German guards say such as "Your papers please", "The American has dog biscuits in his pocket," and "Run for your lives! He has a bazooka!!" This movie is in fact the original trailer of the game.
- Medal of Honor is the only game in the series to feature a reloadable M1-Garand.
- Jimmy Patterson returns in Medal of Honor: Frontline and Medal of Honor Heroes.
