The PlayStation version received "favorable" reviews, while the Game Boy Advance version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. GameSpot praised the makers of the PS 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." 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." "RealPoor" ranked her among the 12 Best Female Characters in Video Games, declaring that we "know Manon as a French resistance woman who appeared as an advisor in the first MoH game. In the prequel for PlayStation called "Medal of Honor: Underground", she is the main character who takes on covert missions in occupied Europe and Africa." Jeff Lundrigan reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for "Next Generation", rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "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." The producer Scott J. Langteau showcased the game at the E3 2000 along with Tony Rowe and Lynn Henson.
