Medal of Honor: 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.
