    psi ops. This is a testament to how bad the current generation is. This was a very poor seller but had everything. A fresh and fun way of playing, physics ahead of its time, variety and a decent story with good boss battles.

    It would be in its 3rd or 4th sequel if it came a generation later, but the glut of quality games last generation kept this gem hidden in the bargain bins

    Erm i've played both and thought Frontline looked and played better than AA. I thought the levels were better as well. Not to say that AA was a bad game though.

    Rose tinted glasses. No way in hell is frontline better looking or playing than MOH:AA. Frontline dies after the second level and the level design takes a nose dive. AA is great the full way through. AA was on a PC using a heavily modified Quake 3 Arena engine and was one of the nicest looking games at the time. The engine was so good it's still being used in the current CoD games. Frontline was a on aging PS2 technology and was pretty rough when it came out. The beach landing levels tell you a lot with better sound in the PC version, the beach being much more populated compared to the empty beach in frontline and much higher quality textures and models. You could also play it in 1600x1200

    I think your the one with the rose tinted specs. I played AA after Frontline and was actually expecting it to look and play better but was dissappointed with it. I played AA with a high resolution as well but still thought the levels looked bare and the models looked less detailed. The levels just felt more empty than Frontline. It's still a good game but i think Frontline is better.

    I didnt know Farenheit was released on the PS2 as well.

    I played the PC version and it is a great game although the storyline was kind of ruined with the weird stuff towards the end.

    No it's not. Go look at some youtube videos. I played them at the same time since they were released around the same time as each other. Frontline was a poor mans FPS on the aging PS2 while MoHAA was one of the most technologically advanced and best looking games at the time it was released on the PC. It was also a far far better game.

    I've done one better and played both of them last night. Granted the version of Frontline i have is the remastered one that came with Tier 1 but i still remember being dissappointed with AA's graphics the first time i played it.

    I'm seeing a pattern; you'd probably enjoy...

    - BMX XXX
    - Dance Dance Revolution X
    - Guilty Gear X
    - Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core
    - Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Plus
    - Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival
    - Guilty Gear XX: Slash
    - Hot Wheels Velocity X
    - Jak X: Combat Racing
    - Mega Man X Collection
    - Romance of the Three Kingdoms X

    All titles that, somehow, have that special 'factor' that's so difficult to pin down. :p;)

    Is it something to do with all the X's by any chance? :D

    I kept coming back to this game over and over.
    I told nearly everyone I knew to go and buy this game. I really hope someone picks up where this game left off.
    Music is cracking too.
