Through the eyes of young soldiers who experienced the Civil War, students learn about this transformative period of American history. Module 4 Breaking Barriers History is filled with examples of individual athletes, teams, and coaches who have overcome adversity and challenged barriers of race, gender, culture, and class.
This module explores the power that sports and individual athletes have to tear down social barriers and to strengthen individuals and communities. These guys act like they really don't want to die. And one more thing, German Shepherds like to play fetch with grenades. Keep that in mind when throwing grenades around dogs.
Another thing that they made a great attempt at was the point specific damage. This means that if you shoot someone in the leg, they will hop around in pain and grab the leg you just shot. The reason that I say they made a great attempt at it was because it was not quite as accurate as I would have liked and sometimes it lead to frustrations.
For example, I would use the sniper rifle to shoot enemies in the chest'I would be zoomed in and lined up for a chest shot, I'd pull the trigger but it would hit them in the arm.
Another example is that some of the enemies wear combat helmets and if you shoot them in the helmet, it will fly off but not hurt the enemy. I noticed, though, that if I had a clear shot at the neck, I would zoom in with the sniper rifle and shoot at the neck but it would hit the helmet alerting the enemy to my presence and wasting a bullet. Like I said, this was a great idea and it worked some of the time but it would have been better if they had just made it a little more accurate.
Although not entirely accurate as outlined in the last paragraph, you are presented with some very detailed stats at the end of a level. You are given a ranking between one star average and three stars excellent. This ranking is determined by the number of enemies you kill in a level and how much health you have remaining at the end of the level. It also tells you how may shots you took and how many hit the enemy, as well as how many times the enemy shot you.
The coolest part is that it gives you a breakdown of where on the body you shot the bad guys, how may shots hit the right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, groin, head and chest. Like I said, it is not entirely accurate but it is still really cool. The game does have a few multiplayer modes but they were definitely not the high point of the game.
Actually, there are some frame rate issues that really make it not much fun. If you are looking at a game simply for the multiplayer aspects, I would look elsewhere because you will be disappointed. If only this was a PC or Dreamcast game. But alas, it is a Playstation game and it is not the prettiest game out there. Pixels abound and darkness shrouds the game. Some of the darkness actually helps the atmosphere but there is no hiding the fact that the game does not look great.
Don't get me wrong though, by Playstation standards, the game is slightly below average but not terrible. The thing is, I found that after a while the graphics really didn't matter because I was so involved in the game that I could not care less what it looked like. This game is far and away the best First Person Shooter on the PSX and it is my favorite game to come along in quite some time. While the enemy AI is cool and there are lots of neat extras, this game is not a technology wonder by any stretch of the imagination but it really did not matter to me.
The concept and story of the game kept me glued to my PSX and I just could not get enough. All I can say is that I hope EA and Sega make up so they can create a version of this game that looks better plus fix the pin-point aiming and it could be one of the best games ever.
As it stands, it is still one of the best PSX games I have played in a long time. Are you ready to rise above and beyond the call of duty?
Medal of Honor from DreamWorks Interactive and Electronic Arts is a 3D first-person shooter that puts you deep behind enemy lines to stymie the Nazi war effort. To ensure that Medal of Honor adheres to its historical background, DreamWorks based each of the game's 30 missions on real sorties of the OSS. From what we've seen, there will be plenty of missions in which you'll need to not only accomplish your objectives, but also to get out alive.
To that end, the game is painstakingly detailed. To combat the Nazi menace, you can use up to 15 different WWII era weapons--specialized arsenal like sniper rifles and anti-tank rockets, or more general purpose firearms like shotguns and the formidable BAR Browning Assault Rifle.
There are also missions which require you to go incognito and infiltrate enemy territory. Beyond Castle Wolfenstein anyone? Historical details aside, Medal of Honor is also backed by impressive gameplay elements. Controlling your OSS Ubermensch is easy and intuitive. By utilizing both sticks on the DualShock controller, you can easily move, strafe and "mouselook. Equally as dynamic is the enemy Al, which transitions between several states of "being.
Throw a grenade at their feet and they'll scuttle it back to you with a kick; or one guy will sacrifice himself and cover the grenade to save his compadres. They even turn tail to run for help. That's when you shoot them in the back. For two-player modes, Medal of Honor supports splitscreen head-to-head, cooperative and a unique version of "Hot Potato" with a live hand grenade.
Hopefully, the splitscreen frame-rate can keep up with all the action. Yes, war is hell, but Medal of Honor can be pure heaven. You played an American super-soldier who single-handedly took on the entire Nazi regime, eventually fighting a mech-like Hitler. It was a fantastic game for its time-and in no way accurately represented the goings-on of the second World War. You drop in and take out key locations like munitions depots, giant cannons, chemical weapons plants, etc.
Sounds cool, and it is. Missions take you to various locations around Europe, on land and at sea. You'll sneak around the countryside in France, make your way around an underground fortress in Germany and even sink a U-boat in the middle of the ocean, among many others. In some cases, you even disguise yourself as a Nazi officer. It's especially creepy when a Nazi soldier strongly asks to see your papers while readying his machine gun. If he recognizes you as a spy, you're German Shepherd meat.
Weapons are real-world stuff. Pistols, machine guns, a sniper rifle, grenades and of course a rocket launcher, among others. The music and especially the sound effects will have you looking around the room in amazement. Fitness Trainers everywhere, rejoice! This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. It took me a long time to research and ultimately choose an interval training app, and this one seem to be the most customizable.
I have a few complicated routines, and I was able to program them all with this app. It was a little time consuming to set up in expert mode, but in order to get everything I needed, that was the mode I needed to use. If your routines are a little simpler, the simple mode will be good enough. My only complaint for this version is the skip forward button for the music always takes several taps to work, while the skip back always works the first time.
Not sure if that's an app or iOS issue. One wish list item for the next update would be to have the ability to skip or redo an interval, much like the ability we already have to skip or replay a song.
One more wish list item would be the ability to import and export routines. I have "sold" this app to several people, but then I have to sit down with them to create the routines.
It would be fantastic if I could just send them the routine. You can set up multiple rounds, intervals, circuits, breaks, warnings, etc all with their own colors and sounds.
