Medal of Honor: Airborne

In a nutshell this is a WW2 FPS shooter on steroids, but with less history and atmosphere than Pacific Assault. For example, despite the fact that an historical adviser was present, it lacks any interesting historical notes and deeper references to WW2 history.

Maybe it's because I was playing this on a Quad core system, but the combat is SO fast. It reminded me of the days of UT 99. It's good to see that Unreal engine can still deliver. So that's the good news. The player can really test their skills and reaction times.

The criticisms from some quarters are justified, they keep the game designers on their toes. But credit is due. I was constantly gasping at the level design. They are very complex levels with cohesive environments that feel real. They seem built rather than cobbled together in some editor.

A worthy edition to the series, but if you want a deeper historical experience try Pacific Assault.

This Medal of Honor title has been dedicated to the airborne division of the United States military. They fought in WW2 and still, if they have to defend the United States, will do so again.

The graphics could be better it is almost as if I was playing this game on the original Xbox or a Playstation 2. If you are going to undertake a project such as this you have to do it justice.

Every mission you start you jump out of an aircraft to kill Nazi soldiers. Landing where the green flare has been set off can be crucial. Where each mission has a green flare to indicate a "safe zone" that is.

A bit of history is in this game it has been based on real WW2 missions with famous quotes during the loading screens.

Just buy it, cheap as chips.

(Review for Xbox 360 game.) Despite knowing what will come, I still try the medal of honor games with hope that they will get better. It finally happened. This is not only the best medal of honor, but one of the best WWII games in a while. The game lets you play a US paratrooper named Travers as you jump into the levels from a plane. You steer your chute down to where you want and complete the sprawled out missions in the vast, non linear towns of Europe. Using a vast arsenal of realistic working and shooting weapons such as The 1928 Thompson, M1 Garand, Colt 1911, and several other realistic weapons, you fight several different axis enemies with okay AI. The games shooting is a mixed idea. Hitting your target is not as easy as other games. This could be a problem do to bad hit detection or major realism like in BIAs(brothers in arms) games. But it also has a very realistic shooting mechanic. You squeeze the trigger on the controller to maintain accuracy just like in real life. The game also features a weapons upgrade system. For each enemy you kill, the little meter moves up and then the gun upgrades. (Better accuracy, higher capacity, stronger bullets, etc.) And don't worry, most of these upgrades are realistic and stick to real life upgrades so you still have very realistic weapons. MOH:A also has excellent graphics and good working controls. The multi player is good as well. While the health system is not as forgiving as Call of Duty, you'll still have a fighting chance. Don't miss this game, or you'll be sorry.

Terrible mechanics so buggy u can barley even jump Horrible game

Both this game and Vanguard came out the same year and airborne is executed better than vanguard alot. Both game implement same ideas like weapon upgrades and parachuting,but airborne implemented both things better therefore being a better game
