This is a good, possible great game. However it will live in the shadows of the Call of Duty series. The campaign story is fun but very short. It took me about four hours to beat it. You spend most of story in a four man squad, with no control over squad. No jumping out of planes in this one, a feature lost from the previous MOH. That was a let down. The destructible world is halfway destructible. Graphics, game play, story line are all 5 star. The rainbow Series has a better interactive world than this and you can find all of them for 20.00 or less. The online is good. The server crashed alot on the release night, issues are getting worked out. You can call air support and all that good stuff but the layout is tricky. You have 3 classes that only go to level 8. Not many perks to gain and the maps fell short of greatness. It has your typical team deathmatches, capture and defend stuff. This is a fun game to play, good replay value and a good online setup. However its just a watered down COD. Is it worth 60.00, NO. Its really no better than MOH Airborne, with the exception people are playing the new MOH online. However it is worth a look. I suspect you will see a fast price drop on this one.Read full review
MOH with the Frostbite engine, looks great on my older Xbox 360 and the gameplay is surprisingly good and the levels are well crafted. I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but the overall package is a great value. Sure they are many better shooters out there, but I like the modern combat tactics and the real covert ops feel to the missions.

Medal of Honor is a great game, with very good control and great gameplay. The story line or campaign mode was to short especially when you compare it to Call of Duty Black Ops. I have played a little of the multiplayer portion and the maps seem small but I can't really give a good assessment of that portion of the game. Oh and on another note there have been some who say that they don't like the idea of being a enemy fighter of known terrorist organizations from the middle east in the multiplayer so there is that aspect of it. That being said though there have been games in the past where in multiplayer mode you can end up being on a team where your an enemy soldier of wars in the past and no one had issues with that so you make the call.One aspect of the game which is kind of kool is the tier one mode one caveat though is the fact that if you die you have to resart the level which is incredibly frustrating. Its a time based aspect so just let me finish level and then rank me. So overall its not a bad game just try to get a good price on it. I paid $20 with the shipping here on ebay so it was worth it for me. If you end up paying more like $40 for it you should have tried to get Black Ops.Read full review
The fact that two separate companies developed the campaign and multiplayer modes of play gives you the impression of playing two totally different games. I couldn't praise the single player mode enough for making a REALISTIC modern era shooter. Don't get me wrong, I love me some COD, but the way the enemies fight and the way you have to play without dying every two seconds reflects what would happen in the real world. I do have some beef with the AI and how dumb your friendlies can be at times, but overall the single campaign mode is a blast. Multiplayer is another story. I've heard it being compared to the Battlefield series (since the multiplayer side of the game was made by the same production company), but I wasn't too terribly impressed. I do like the idea of having campaign modes in the multiplayer side of the game, but it didn't have the same appeal as the single player campaign. Overall, I can say that I recommend this game, but with the new COD coming out in a week, you may just wanna wait it out if your strapped for cash and can only get one game this holiday season.Read full review
This game continues the cinematic tradition of the previous Medal of Honor games but catapults it into the modern era. Using the start of the 2002 campaign in Afghanistan as the back drop, the game follows AFO Tier 1, 2, and 3 operators as they prep for the massive Operation Anaconda. The single player is very immerse and you really feel like you are not only a Tier 1 SEAL or DELTA operator but an integral part of the over operation. The campaign is short but elegantly put together and moves very smoothly between levels to tell a compelling story. The multiplayer is fun but currently has a step learning curve. When I first started I was taken out twice as many times as I took out others. But once you figure out where not to stay and think about it as actual combat (aka keep your head down) it becomes really intense. Tier 1 mode is pretty interesting. Putting the time limit and doing away with a lot of the crutches like ammo from team mates, a par time, increased difficulty and no check points really focuses you on needing to think and move just like an Operator. Overall i would recommend this to anyone who is a nerd when it comes to military history or wants a very engrossing narrative. The short campaign and lack of more customization to the weapons and characters, especially in multiplayer, keep this from being perfect but it is a fine piece of work, and Tier 1 mode will keep you occupied for awhile after you've played through the main story.Read full review
