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.

Good all rounder!
The lastest Medal of Honor game is a return to form for the series that appears to have been lost for several years.
The game instantly feels like a classic medal of honor game, with great graphics, new ideas, great missions and a good selection of weapons.
The best aspect of this game is when you jump out of the plane, as you can see the whole level beneath you. You can choose to land any where on the map, and carry out objectives in the order you prefer.
The maps are very big and you can access just about every building and even land on top of them to get a great view of the lanscape. Both the exterior and interior are well detailed, which is something that has been lacking from previous MOH games.
Another cool factor is that you can upgraqde your guns, allowing for a greater capcity of ammo or even better scope.
There are 6 Missions in total which are very long indeed. Gameplay can be saved after completing an objective. The later levels are very challenging indeed, offering hours of gameplay.
Once the game is complete you can replay the levels differently by landing in different areas on the map. There are also plenty of additional extras to watch aswell.
The one let down is the graphic power as the game started development a long time ago, so Call of Duty 4 has better visuals.
But this is one of the best MOH games in the series and a big improvement on recent outings.
A very good game.

Name a game where you can clonk nazis with your size 9s
Death from above. This is Medal of Honor Airborne, jump off a plane laden with upgraded gear and rifles, drop on the ground anywhere, then start tearing tdown the nazi machine. Doesn't match the superioty of the first Medal of Honor but is the best of the series for years! Shame that there is no two player.

I would reccomend this game if you like WW2 and if you like clonking nazis on the helmets from above

Worth a shot !
The reviews here do not seem great but the game seemed a good challenge to me. Nothing horrendously difficult so you get fed up but some good strategy areas albeit a few where you simply have to rush to avoid the continous flow of Germans. Maybe I'm a bit generous as I've not got COD4 yet.
