Medal of Honor: Airborne

This game i one of those games, that even though it has been done before, it still brings something new to the table. I like the way where when you die you start over, but the things that you accomplished, are still accomplished. This game is a pretty flipping kool game.If it werent for games like Assassins Creed, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, and Mass Effect, i would buy this game.

Medal of Honor: Airborne

MOH:Airborne is a overall great game.It has good graphics and it has improved alot since the last MOH game.But there are a couple of problems.The only new feature in the game is the upgradable weapons.It's very helpful but it's basicly the only thing.The biggest problem is that the game isn't very challenging or long.I breezed through this game in just a couple of hours.It's still a great game,and if you enjoy playing WWII first person shooters,then you will enjoy this game.

Another WWII Shooter, but with enough to make it slightly different

So most people are thinking "Not another Medal of Honor? Why won't they stop it with World War II!?". Well this game may still have some of the things that make most WWII shooters generic but EA was able to put a good twist on this installment of the MOH series. The largest notable difference is the ability to tackle your objectives in any order and any way. You jump from a C-37 into the level (anywhere in the level) and continue on in whatever order you seem fit. With the exception of the last level in the game (which if you play it, it's excusable) is quite large and has plenty of cover and so many ways to attack your enemies. They are all very, very beautiful creations and the random little things that developers never really focus on, they seem to have put a little more attention to in this game. So the graphics and the levels are pretty, and you can anywhere in the levels; but how does the game play? For the most part the game plays very smoothly and the mechanics are quite tight in this game. There are a few exceptions here and there with mundane objectives or ridiculous enemies to face. The aiming in the game is a little cumbersome but it adds to the realism (if you care at all). Also throughout most of the game aiming isn't too much of the game. The friendly AI is a little useless in Airborne, but the enemy AI is another story. They use cover well and attack in droves instead of alone. Although the aiming is off in the game, the weapons themselves are spot on. In some previous games I could never really tell whether I liked the MP-40 or the Thompson before or what the differences even were. In Airborne each weapon is significantly different from the others, the four rifles in the game are so dramatically different. Your load-out in the pre-mission phase is almost as important as how you use them during the mission. Another awesome thing they added was that you can upgrade your weapons. The Kar-98 starts as an annoying bolt-action that has to be loaded single-bullet. By the time you have it leveled up the fire rate is faster and you get a stripper clip that loads all 5 rounds in at once. The way the weapon upgrades work is with every kill you get with the weapon your experience grows with it. Each gun has three levels and for the most part make the gun dramatically better. Eventually through upgrades the little Colt .45 becomes an amazing weapon (which is good because it carries infinite ammo). The multi-player is another good spot of the game but it just wasn't enough to make it a Live hit or even any online hit. There are only three modes to choose from: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and CTF. There were some innovative ideas such as Allies start in planes and parachute down and Axis are already on the ground. Or that if you are an Allied soldier, you are able to kick a German while in the air for a one-hit kill. Still, the multi-player was lacking. It's also ridiculous that there was no off-line multi-player like in Rising Sun (one of the things that made it fun for me and my friends). The major con to the game is the short campaign mode, although I won't tell you how many missions there are. To say they aren't well made is wrong, but there could have been just two more missions would have dramatically increased the life of this game. Unfortunately because of the short game span it'll probably be forgotten by October or if it's lucky, November. There are some frame-rate issues later in the game and some points in the game are completely one-sided to the enemy. All in all EA is trudging along on the right path but maybe it's time to just do away with WWII until the next-gen, when people actually want a WWII shooter again. I would suggest EA goes with Korea, that would be a new idea...
