Medal of Honor: Heroes is a game that may come from a highly respected gaming franchise, then put to on to the psp, people might think it's gonna be great!..But it's really not. The aspect of the gameplay is simple, you go to a war-torn area in world war 2, play as an OSS operative and, fulfilling objectives that need to be done, go for some secondary objectives and the best of all, run around shooting Nazis with many old guns (personally, i favor the good 'ol BAR :) ) there seems to be a lack pf cut-scenes ( or should i say neatly colored pictures stills with a narrative) the story is rather simple, the campaign isn't rather lengthy, yet still lives up to the WW2 fps genre. the story does fall short when it comes to characters, meaning no backdrop for the characters, no heart-felt scenes about a soldier getting shot in the head and dying, so there isn't really that much emotion into the game which may good so there isn't any distraction. The game also has very noticeable poor A.I. which can heavily be seen during the campaign. your squad-mates just stand there, yet they're useful in firefights, but anyway, the enemy doesn't seem to have good strategies when it comes to seasoned Call of Duty experts.

What is noticeably enjoyable in this game is skirmish. it's deathmatch, and it's you against a preset number of A.I. enemies (you may be able to play online, I really don't know, i don't play multi-player sry :( ) but you get to choose maps, choose your soldier's preset uniform, choose the map, then jump in and try to stay alive gunning down every person you see move. There are even perks where you earn enough points to rank up ( e.g. private -> private first class) then you can earn new uniforms which can come in comical ways, one being a German soldier with only a helmet, white shirt and pink polka-dot boxers, which is reminicent of Call of Duty 4 ( The perks part I mean 8])

-MARVEENO!

Cool Game.

I love playing this in second Period. I would always play skirmish with my friend and its fun as hell and its fun online. But I hate the health bar, I wish it was like CoD. But other than that its great. I wanna play Hereos 2 and people should play this game or buy it.

Medal of Honor Heroes PSP Review

Medal of Honor + Portability + 32 player multiplayer= One heckuva good game. Play as the returning Medal of Honor Heroes, William Holt, John Baker, and Jimmy Patterson. The Medal of Honor series has gone portable on the PSP. Fortunately, I have a PSP to play this mazing game. In fact, when I got my PSP last Christmas, the game I got with it was Medal of Honor Heroes. I played almost straight through the first day, which was kind of bad because the Campaign is sort of short, but thankfully there is a 32 player multiplayer option. Though there is much hacking on the multiplayer, there is yet another mode, Skirmish where you face of against up to 16 bots. Though not too difficult, Skirmish is a good way to practice your combat skills. Heroes' graphics are also a wonder, especially for the PSP. The control is amazing, so easy to master. Altogether, Heroes is a great game, so If you haven't already picke dit up, do it now. GRAPHICS: 4.5 SOUND: 4.5 CONTROL: 5.0 FUN FACTOR: 5.0

Best Shooter for PSP

This sadly enough is the best first person shooter for the psp. It has all the great features of the nonportable MofH's but the psp lacks two analog stick which makes it tough to make a shooter for the psp. If you desperatly want a first person shooter for the psp then get this one.

Medal of Honor: Heroes

Medal of Honor: Heroes is one of the only FPS games to come to the PSP. It proved that FPS' could be done on the PSP. The controls are easy to get used to and I personally picked up on it immediately. It set the bar high for FPS games on the PSP. Hopefully other games will pick up on it. There were a few negative points of the game though. The game is ofcourse based on WWII and I think it did a great job of portraying that. Everything from weapons, sound, and the occasional compliment from one of your teammates gives the game that WWII feel. After you complete each mission you get rewarded based on how well you did. Gold, silver, and bronze medals. Also, if you kill a certain amount of enemies you get other rewards such as outfits that can be used in the online multiplayer. The problem that I had with the game is that the missions tend to seem repetitive. Pretty much the same old stuff. Capture a flag/base and head to the next one. Overall I enjoyed the story though. The key aspect to the game for me is the online multiplayer. Once online you can join a game of up to 31 other people. The games are full of action. It's all about getting to the top rank. The better your kill/death ratio, the higher your rank. You can check your rank in the lobby. As well as the top 100 ranks feature. Now, on the negatives of the online. There is almost no clan support. Yes, you can join a clan but, there is no tracking of your clan's record. And clan wars/scrimmages aren't common. The problem is, when you make a server/room you can't set a password unless you have the server created using your computer. Glitches is another problem. There are a boat load of glitches in the game. Including invisibility and invinibility. Although it's stopped now and glitchers always get kicked it still shouldn't be in the game. Weapons. There are pretty much two weapons that bug everyone that doesn't use them. The shotgun and bazooka. The shotgun shouldn't be in this game let alone any WWII game. I know they put it in to increase the action in deathmatches. That's why I think they should have limited them to deathmatches. The bazooka could have been a success if they would have put it in a select place on the map. That way people wouldn't keep respawning with it. Those are the most overused and annoying weapons in the game. The reason I gave this game a 3.75 out of 5 is because of the plain and simple fact that it set the bar high for FPS games on the PSP. Aside from the negatives I enjoy playing it and so do a lot of other people judging by how many people play online. No it's not perfect but, damn is it fun. I recommend it for anyone that owns a PSP or plans to buy one.

Boom, Boom, Ping!

One of the many complaints thrown at the PSP is its inability to play first-person shooters because of its one analog nub. Many 3D action games have felt the wrath of critics and consumers alike by being constantly trampled on by bad reviews and some less-than-stellar sales. Medal of Honor: Heroes, however, changes that notion by having some of the best FPS controls this side of the consoles. Medal of Honor: Heroes is the newest addition to the long-running WWII franchise. Lately, the series went from the top dog to underdog. Games like Call of Duty and Brothers in Arms have left this war-hardened franchise in the dust. MOH has changed a bit to better mimic its more competent competitors in European Assault, and that change has also found its way to the PSP with Heroes. You play as different soldiers across battlefields in Belgium, Holland, and Italy. The missions are all very loosely pieced together and at the beginning of each campaign in a new country, you get a nice montage of WWII stock footage and good narration. The game takes other gameplay mechanics from Call of Duty as well with the ability to aim down the sights and have A.I. controlled teammates by your side. And of course you get the biggest reason why WWII games are so prevalent: the weapons. Favorites such as the M1 Garand, Thompson, MP40, BAR, and other classic weapons we just cant get enough of are here and accounted for. Each level, however, feels much less epic than their inspirational source. Basically you either pick up something, destroy something, or wait near a flag until you have captured it. After that, you really dont have any other fun in campaign mode other than upping you rank or completing a couple of extra objectives. Its extremely shallow and would be considered death on a console. This, however, does just fine for short, pick-up-and-play gaming sessions of tight WWII era combat. Its exactly what a handheld shooter should be. The place where you will be spending most of your time, though, is in the fantastic multiplayer. Every level is set for the optimum amount of WWII action and the gameplay holds up as good as it does on the consoles. The graphics also hold up surprisingly well on the PSP, too. The lighting, details, and textures closely match that of other PS2 titles and are as easily as good as most Dreamcast games. You definitely wont be distracted by ugly graphics on this 3D handheld game. The sound also matches its console counterparts with a great orchestral score and realistic gunshots and explosions. Nothing beats the ping of an M1 Garand. What this game will probably be most noted for is that its the first game to get the FPS controls right on the PSP. Movement and aiming is very precise and becomes second nature with only a few minutes of play. My personal favorite setup is using the face buttons for movement and the analog nub for aiming. Again, its something that makes this game feel closer to a console experience. Unfortunately, however, this game does not last long nor does it have a lot of variety to keep the average gamer going. FPS and history fanatics will undoubtedly want to pick this game up, but for the rest of you, Call of Duty: Roads to Victory is coming soon to the PSP and will most-likely be worth the wait. Its not a great game, but it is a step in the right direction for future handheld FPSs.

Medal of Honor: Heroes

This game is fun. It will take you about two to three days to beat the game because the game is short. There are a lot of unlockables that will take a while to unlock but most of them are easy to unlock.the graphics are great. The control is ok. I think the control could be improved a little. but over all the game is good and fun.

One of the best this year

It's been five hours in the green mode and I do have to say that this game is very interesting to play. I did have some truble in the game at first, but that is natrual when it comes to how the controls are set up. I recomend that those who are new to shooter games should try to start at green until you get use to the controls unless you have exeperence with useing the analog stick and the x o and triangel buttons for other things. But they let you change the set up of the controls. I can not wait until I have had a chance to go head-on-head combat with some others. But for some odd reason, EA's servers have been down since the game has been introduced Wedsday. But there is a way you can get your own server to play the games. EA has once again delivered the goods. I giive it a 9.5
