Wheres the rest?
I must say that I did enjoy the game, even if it was a typical american troops win the war on thier own affair. Unfortunately I was very disapointed with the fact that the game was so short. The individual missions were long and suitably challenging but there weren't enough of them, I managed to complete the game in about 3 hours which was disapointing. Overall the effects of the game were a mixture of very impressive one minute and laughably poor the next. Not Medal of Honours greatest moment - I would recommend Call of Duty 2 or 3 over this game

Medal of honor- GOOD
I BOUGHT THIS GAME hoping it would be a challenging game it was in some aspects.

Good points--- Enemy soldiers better trained and have better aim.No health pick ups health regenerates with rest. Longer levels with more enemys explosions and shellshock.

Bad points--- Levels longer but not long enougth. on some levels you may get outnumbered but i like that sort of thing

Altogether the game is quite short but quite challenging. my advice is to go to blockbuster or something rent the game and take the road from there.

Good, but a devilishly annoying end level.
Essentially this Medal of Honour game is as good as any of the previous series. It could be said the graphics have improved very slightly and the games play matches that of similar titles. Almost all of the way through the games the difficulty is just about right, being an adequate challenge whilst at the same time not leading to frustration. However the final level throws this concept out of the window and instead offers a very, very long and annoying level. It takes approximately three hours of careful game play to reach what I can only assume is very close to the end of the level and possibly the game. At this point I had been killed a dozen times and re-spawned at some maddening point ensuring that I had to play through a portion of the level again. After three or more hours of this you are then confined to a shell of a house confronted with several tanks that seem inescapable. The best that I could manage after probably more than ten hours trying this level repeatedly was to destroy one tank.
I am no Johnny-come lately to gaming and especially this particular genre, but this game beat me. It is the first game of its type that I have not played to completion and for that reason I game the game only 3 stars where I would otherwise have given it 5.
