Medal of Honor: Airborne (PC)

It may be the game that popularised the whole concept of first person shoot `em-ups set during World War II, but as the years have gone by, the Medal of Honor series has found... more...itself besieged by more and more copycats trying to offer ever more realistic simulations of the era. This is the first Medal of Honor game made specifically for the next generation of consoles though and finds you taking the roles of both pathfinder Eddie La Point and Private Boy Travers - paratroopers in the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. As such, you'll end up with a whistle stop tour of enemy hotspots in Sicily, France, Holland and Germany. The game takes its paratrooper motif serious too as the game levels are big enough that you actually have some control over where exactly you land and as a consequence what tactics you choose to employ.The game also tries to give you as much freedom as possible with the weapons you use, with each being customisable with authentic parts which you can find during missions. Even the missions are as open ended as possible, as you're given up to a dozen objectives, of which only a few have to be tackled in any sort of order. One side benefit this creates is that the developers have been forced to drastically improve the enemy artificial intelligence so that they can react intelligently to your attacks, instead of just relying on the pre-scripted movements of the earlier games. There's also a stronger tactical element than ever before as you monitor the back and forth of battle between all the forces on the map. As over-familiar as WWII shooters have become, there looks to be enough new ideas here to keep even the most jaded virtual soldier happy.HARRISON DENT Step into the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the 82nd Airborne Division and engage in battles throughout Europe. From rocky beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany, each mission begins behind enemy lines, with an intense and fully interactive airdrop. Your ability to determine your own starting point dramatically changes the way each mission plays out. View the entire operation from the air, and then control your parachute to choose your landing spot. On the ground, gather your senses and assess the terrain. A wide variety of authentic, customizable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Choose your path in this free roaming FPS environment. Medal of Honor Airborne will also feature exceptionally photo-realistic characters, adding to the intensity of the cinematic, story-driven game.

The end of the road of WW2 shooters??

Advantages: Parachuting in is fun
Disadvantages: The rest of the game is familiar

Medal of Honor: Airborne is the 11th game in the series, and this time you take the role of Private Boyd Travers, a member of the 82nd Airborne division in World War 2 (WW2). On top of the 11 MOH games, there have been numerous other games along these lines. In such a packed, and possibly tired marketplace, what is there to set Airborne above the rest? Aside from an improvement in the graphics and sound, which you would expect, the biggest change ...
...mission gains you an additional medal at the end. However, there is also a medal for completing a mission without being killed, and the two are pretty much exclusive. Once you are on the ground, it is pretty standard FPS fare, with mission objectives ranging from holding a position until reinforcements arrive to blowing up artillery and anti-aircraft positions. One of the better aspects of the game is how cover is handled. You can crouch behind objects ...

Airborne fun!

Advantages: new elements to the WW2 genre.
Disadvantages: its too short, the end is maddeningly hard

One can start a Medal of Honor review by saying two things. First off, Medal of Honor is very American. Always has been. You can tell that by the name, but its official, America won WW2, no one else. Secondly, following on from that, Medal of honor has always been the sort of First Person Shooter, where you typically play the one man army. The main character purports to be a normal human, but yet somehow cuts his way through hundreds if not thousands ...
...it was acceptable. The best Medal of HOnors (although they would look rubbish if you played them now) were Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault They made and released Medal Of Honor:Airborne, which is a good game. They have finally innovated. Even if it was only a simple one. Sure, you are still only American, sure you start out with an M1 Garand and a thompson and sure enough, America won the war, but still there's innovation. Best and most mentioned ...
