Description official description

In this addition to the Medal of Honor franchise, you play as three different characters from previous Medal of Honor games: Lt. James Patterson from the original MOH and MOH: Frontline, Sgt. John Baker from MOH: Allied Assault, and Lt. William Holt from MOH: European Assault, in three different campaigns across Italy, Belgium and Holland. Each campaign consists of different missions that involve capturing or destroying certain objectives.

This World War II-themed shooter features a large amount of unlockable items like new uniforms as well as the ability to complete any mission or campaign on varying difficulty levels. An online multiplayer option allows up to 8 people on Ad Hoc mode or up to 32 people in infrastructure mode. Game modes include Hold the Line, Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.

Heroes or No Heroes

The Good
Aiming and shooting your weapons in this game is easy and the level layouts, you can simply go through them in a matter of minutes with every last objective finished. Stamina and running helps to quicken the pace momentarily. You've got allies to back you up, although you most likely don't need them. With the HUD being at the bottom corners of the screen, you can focus properly on the view above. And there's a decent variety of unlockables to make gameplay worthwhile for a just a bit.

The Bad
Graphically this game doesn't get impressive having voxels with rigid edges and uninteresting surface textures. And the screen is spammed with indicators on enemies, mission objectives and pickups. Was there any need for that? Sound effects are nothing special and music is non-existent in the gameplay. Even the level design is pretty poor. What kind of German officers keep an Engima coding machine in a barn? And the grenades are impossible to throw at a decent angle and distance to do real damage to the enemy.

So what does this game not have? Historical accuracy, forget it. Cutscenes, not very much. Behind the Scenes Material. No such luck. There's not even dossiers on John Baker, James Patterson and William Holt to tell us more about these heroes. What you see is what you get. For what its worth, it's just newer levels, newer objectives and newer flavour text.

The Bottom Line
This game didn't really look like it was trying to reach to the quality of the PC games. This was just a roughly assembled video game solely for handheld gamers that utilises little of the PSP's capabilities. Fans of Allied Assault, Pacific Assault and Airborne will be let down by this entry of the series. A game like this dies down sooner than a bonfire, it's really not worth buying for yourself. One quick play and it's yesterday's Medal of Honor.

Trivia

German version

In the German version, two swastikas on the mission and loading screen were replaced with a national identification cross. Additionally, the unlockable uniforms have no reference to the SS anymore, the words "Nazi" and "töten" (the literal translation of "kill") are not in the game's vocabulary and the trailer for Need for Speed: Carbon - Own the City was removed.
