Medal of Honor: Airborne (PC) ... shoot ‘em-ups set during World War II, but as the years have gone by, the Medal of Honor series has found 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.

 ... they wanted you too and follow your orders to a T in the order they wanted you too. In this game, you can land whereever (as long as its in range of your parachute) and the game will differ depending on that. Sort of. There are still objectives to be carried out, but you can do them in any order you like. There are also "Safe zones" Marked by green smoke grenades. If you land there, every time you will be sorround by AI driven teammates who will and can die but will "Help" you tackle the objec...more

Premium Review Medal of Honor: Airborne (PC): The end of the road of WW2 shooters?? (752 words)

Rating:

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 is the addition of the ability to parachute, which is brilliant! Every mission starts with you in a transport plane, with the rest of your squad, waiting to get over your drop zone. This little ...  Read the complete review

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 of enemies before the end of the game. To be fair though, alot of first person shooters were like this, even from the beginning, DOOM, Rise of the Triad, Wolfenstein, Half life, etc, etc. So it was acceptable. The best Medal ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Medal of Honor: Airborne (PC): A good game for the money (466 words)

Let me first start off by saying that I have never been into the WWI/II gaming area of FPS but I have to hand to EA they have introduced me very well into this genre that is both entertaining and (if the facts are true) quite educating also. First off though we'll talk graphics and I think personally they are better than that of COD4 or even, dare I say it, on par with GTA4. I have to hand to EA, they've done a superb job with both the engine and gaming experience. There are a few buggy things (as always) like dead soldiers arms growing really long and somehow sticking to walls, very odd. All that aside though, EA have come up trumps with this game giving ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game for my computer last week and I love it. Keeping with the tradition of Medal Of Honor this game is set around World War 2. This game comes with a large assortment of weapons that are all upgradable, but you have to prove yourself in combat to get the modifications. You have full control of your body from the second you jump out of the plane. You can steer your parachute and shoot your gun in the air! The envirement is fully interactive; you can hide anywhere, flank your opponents or climb up somewhere high to get some sniper kills in. And just like most PC WW2 games you can play multiplayer online as well. Graphics The graphics are ...  Read the complete review
