Video Game Reviews of Medal of Honor Airborne
Customer Review: Not Much New Here
Summary: 3 Stars
Like the title for my review says, there isn't much new to Medal of Honor Airborne. If you've played previous Medal of Honor games or other World War 2 shooters you know what to expect.
The Nazi's are rampaging all over Europe and have to be stopped. In MoH Airborne you take control of PFC Boyd Travers a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army.
The game features competent graphics though nothing that will awe you. A wide selection of weapons from the era - everything from a BAR to the Mauser pistol to the MP40. Sound effects which have always set the MoH series apart are equally impressive in this game. If you've got a surround sound system you'll be in for a treat. You just may want to warn the neighbors first!
New additions to the series include the ability to upgrade weapons by displaying proficiency with each. The weapon display in the lower right hand corner will slowly fill as you kill more and more Nazi's until eventually you're rewarded with an upgrade. These take the form of everything from improved sights to faster reload times or even a K-Bar Fighting Knife. All in all I feel this is a welcome addition to the series.
Also new, each mission begins by parachuting into combat. From the onset you're free to glide to any part of the map bellow you although safe zones will always be marked with green smoke. Dropping into the middle of an enemy stronghold sounds cool but you'll quickly realize just how alone you are and probably not live to regret it. Regardless of where you start, however, missions all tend to play out the same as your objectives never change, just the order in which you take them. In this sense the game really hasn't changed much at all.
A few things I disliked about the game are it's steep difficulty level. In later levels enemies take an unrealistic amount of damage while dishing out brutally accurate fire. The shortness of the game is another issue I have. I casually played this game and beat it in 3 short sessions; all told probably about 5 hours.
I felt Medal of Honor: Airborne was a great rental, just not a game I'd purchase. Series fans will probably be safe picking this title up and enjoy replaying missions for new upgrades and playing online. However, for newcomers I suggest trying before buying.
