When Medal of Honor premiered, there was something inherently different about its approach to the first-person-shooter. There'd been war games before it, but nothing quite as compelling. Coming from Steven Spielberg's own Dreamworks videogame studio, it dumped players into the chaotic thick of war -- even if the game was limited by PlayStation's then-aging hardware. Since the first game, World War II shooters have become commonplace, and ironically, it's the once groundbreaking Medal of Honor series that's struggling to keep pace with competitors. Unfortunately for fans, European Assault does little to bring the series up to speed.
