Editorial Review:
It may be the game that popularised the whole concept of first person shoot ‘em-ups set during World War II, but as the years have gone by, the Medal of Honor series has found itself besieged by more and more copycats trying to offer ever more realistic simulations of the era. This is the first Medal of Honor game made specifically for the next generation of consoles though and finds you taking the roles of both pathfinder Eddie La Point and Private Boy Travers - paratroopers in the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. As such, you’ll end up with a whistle stop tour of enemy hotspots in Sicily, France, Holland and Germany. The game takes its paratrooper motif serious too as the game levels are big enough that you actually have some control over where exactly you land and as a consequence what tactics you choose to employ.
The game also tries to give you as much freedom as possible with the weapons you use, with each being customisable with authentic parts which you can find during missions. Even the missions are as open ended as possible, as you’re given up to a dozen objectives, of which only a few have to be tackled in any sort of order. One side benefit this creates is that the developers have been forced to drastically improve the enemy artificial intelligence so that they can react intelligently to your attacks, instead of just relying on the pre-scripted movements of the earlier games. There’s also a stronger tactical element than ever before as you monitor the back and forth of battle between all the forces on the map. As over-familiar as WWII shooters have become, there looks to be enough new ideas here to keep even the most jaded virtual soldier happy. HARRISON DENT

good game great pick up and play game, perfect if you like first person shoot em up's, little bit to short to be a five star game but very satisfied.
getting back to its best i found this game to be great, i think the open play is the best thing this game has to offer though letting you decide in which order you want to complete your objectives, a few more levels would of made this game an absolute 10 out of 10 but still a good game overall
Keep moving nothing good to see here Being a big fan of FPS games on any format I purchased this hoping that the Medal of Honor series was finaly back on track (the last few console ones have been dire) Unfortunately after clogging up nearly 5GB of my PS3 hardrive with an install I was greeted by a truly shocking frame rate, slow unresponsive controls and enemy AI that can see you around corners and through walls. The parachute drops at the beginning of the levels is a great idea and really does open up the various levels allowing you a great... more info
New gimmick, otherwise same old MOH Medal of Honours big change is that levels are now completely open. Parachuting in gives the choice to tackle objectives in different ways.
And this is largely true, although its now easier to get lost, wandering around for the next objective.
The parachute drop does change after completing objectives. Safe areas are highlighted by green smoke, which is a nice touch. Yet the 2D smoke effects are very disappointing.
However this is essentially Medal of Honours only change, the rest is a... more info
