Synopsis :
Medal of Honor: Underground is a first-person shooter video game, the second installment in the Medal of Honor video game series, and a sequel to 1999’s Medal of Honor. It was initially released for the PlayStation video game console in 2000. It was developed by DreamWorks Interactive and was published by Electronic Arts.
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. It was the last game developed by DreamWorks Interactive when the studio was still jointly owned by Microsoft Games and DreamWorks SKG. During the game’s release, the studio was renamed EA Los Angeles.
The gameplay is much like its predecessor requiring the player to complete objectives by acquiring items, interacting with objects and destroying specified targets as well as the use of four different weapons and disguise against enemies. As well as new types of weapons, the new mechanics in the game are fighting against tanks and halftracks in three out of eight missions and fighting alongside friendly allies.
After completing the game, the player can play a non-canon bonus level, named “Panzerknacker Unleashed”, in which the player plays as Lt. Jimmy Patterson. Many strange enemies are fought at a castle, including gun-toting and vehicle-driving dogs, knights carrying battle axes, zombie soldiers, robotic soldiers and several large nutcrackers, called Panzerknacker. The objective of all of the three missions available in this level is to build a Panzerknacker, who assists in the final mission.
France has been occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. Manon assists her brother Jacques, who is killed in an attempted heist. Manon carries out her mission for the resistance until she is found and recruited by the OSS, who assign her around North Africa and Europe to foil the Nazis’ defenses and plans of invasion until 1944, when Manon returns to help liberate Paris and avenge Jacques.
