In the latest play magazine Medal of Honor Frontlne received 98%
Bear this in mind with:
Metal gear 2 - 81%
Final fantasy 10 - 94%
Pro evolution Soccer - 97%
Grand theft Auto 3 - 98%
It seems this could be an excellent title, seeing it is the joint top game that they have ever reviewed. i wasn't too sure, but here's my motive to buy it.

Hmm. It isn't that great. Edge (which is the only magazine whose scores I use to justify gaming purchases [they're multiformat and critcal ie. unbiase]) gave the following scores:
Medal of Honor Frontline - 5/10
"FPS fans will still enjoy the ride but in terms of pure gameplay mechanics this is a very rusty clockwork toy."
Metal Gear Solid 2 - 8/10
"Admittedly at times MGS2 feels as though it would be much happier being a film, yet that doesn't stop it being a remarkably rewarding stealth-based videogame for the most part. And a decidedly distinctive affair to boot."
Final Fantasy 10 - 6/10
"It's a matter of perspective, devout Square followers will spend 40, 50 hours inside FFX's Spira, and hail it as the tenth coming, when all Edge sees is another bloated false prophet come to steal away your time. But poor scripting aside, the question's still worth asking. If enough people worship something, does it matter how worthy it is? Edge's opinion: yes, it does, and ignore the acolytes. Some idols aren't worth building religions around."
Pro Evo - 9/10
(don't have the issue - got it from the 100 most significant reviews issue)
GTA3 - 8/10 (there was a misprint in the magazine which gave it 6/10, but in a later issue this was rectified)
"While the coherent and emergent behaviour of the city is limited to a local scale, GTA3 definitely gets one crucial thing right: it's all about owning the streets, strutting your territory and walking tall."
While the quotes were just there to give Edge's opinion, I feel that many magazines overrate games as a whole. Edge gives a 5/10 as average, not a 7/10, and rarely do games get 8 or 9's, and only ever have four games gotten a 10/10 (Super Mario 64, Zelda: OOT, Gran Turismo and Halo). I think that Play magazine overrates games - 98% is one heck of a lot. I'm not going to buy MOH:F because its fairly controversial - many PS2-specific magazines rate it much higher than Edge. Its also the case with FF10, achieving 90%+ scores in PSM2, Play, PlayNation, Official UK PS2. I think Edge's review was very good (perhaps a 7/10 would have been better).
98% for Medal Of Honor Frontline is taking the p!ss a bit - the demo is crap and I think its quite a poor game. An 88% would have been understandable considering it is a single format mag, but Play have been known to overrate games...

I dunno how greta it will be actually, the demo is rock hard and I don't want to keep dying, i wanna play sans cheating.
Although i'll admit that when I play each time Im pick away at a bit more of the level so actually it could have a good learning curve.
We'll see.

i think it doesnt look really any good!
If you've read a review, and though it was wrong or tried a cheat to find it doesnt work? if you have, tell the person who posted it what you think. post there nickname on here and write what they've done to annoy you (go to pc gaming then to arguments). Keep it clean though. We dont want any name calling! Check this thing regularly to see if your on there, and stand up for yourself!
yay! just pre-ordered it, should come through the post on the 8th
yeh i didnt like the time limit on the demo
The demo is pretty tough actually.
