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.
