Medal of Honor: Infiltrator is a top-down third-person shooter video game, the sixth installment in the Medal of Honor series, and the second game for the Game Boy Advance. The game was developed by Netherock Ltd. and published by EA Games in North America in November 2003, and in Europe and Japan in December 2003.
Gameplay
In the game, the player takes the role of Corporal Jake Murphy, completing five missions to defeat the Axis in some of most famous battles in World War II. The game features 15 missions spread across three theaters including 5 missions behind enemy lines. Infiltrator is technically both a third-person shooter with a fixed view and a first-person shooter blended together.{{cite book|title=Medal of Honor: Infiltrator|type=Instruction manual|publisher=Electronic Arts|date=November 17, 2003|id=AGB-BMHP-EUR}} Through the use of a link cable, Infiltrator supports up to two players. It also features a Nintendo GameCube connectivity option, which connects both the game and the GameCube version of Medal of Honor: Rising Sun using the GameCube - Game Boy Advance Link Cable allowing the Game Boy Advance to be used as an in-game map.{{cite web |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2003/11/21/medal-of-honor-infiltrator |title=Medal of Honor Infiltrator |last=Harris |first=Craig |publisher=IGN |date=November 20, 2003 |accessdate=September 23, 2015 |archive-date=August 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200830083241/https://www.ign.com/articles/2003/11/21/medal-of-honor-infiltrator |url-status=live }} Upon completing all of the missions, the player unlocks Survival Mode, where the objective is to see how long the player can survive and then try to beat their high score.
