The PlayStation version received "favorable" reviews, while the Game Boy Advance version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. [12] [13] Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said of the former version, "A terrific game gets a sequel that's in some ways even better. And after all, it's still true: at the end of the day, nothing is more satisfying than shooting a Nazi in the face." [26] Nintendo Power gave the latter version a negative review, a few months before it was released Stateside. [27] Air Gendrix of GamePro said of the former console version, "Fans of the first Medal will feel right at home with Underground, but the game also delivers enough new touches and surprises to prevent it from becoming merely a copycat sequel." [30] [lower-alpha 3]
GameSpot praised the makers of the PlayStation version for taking "a character from the original game named Manon Batiste and [placing] her in the lead role so that her full story can be told. This setting is a welcome change, as Underground provides a meaningful historical context that's rare in most video games today." [24] William Abner similarly described the same version as "a refreshing change of pace because you played Manon Batiste, a woman enlisted in the French Resistance." [31]
The PlayStation version was a runner-up for the "Best Sound" and "Best Shooter" awards at GameSpot's Best and Worst of 2000 Awards, which went to SSX and Perfect Dark , respectively. [32] [33] The same console version won the award for Sound at IGN 's Best of 2000 Awards. [34] Underground won the "Sound Design" and "Original Musical Composition" awards at the AIAS' 4th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. [35] [36] It also won the award for "Best Sound" at the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine 2000 Editors' Awards. [37]
