MOH Airborne Fun 2 Play August 4, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
MOH Airborne is a Relatively fun game, but really falls short of it's potential to be a great game. The game play and graphics are on Par with the PS3, but the game itself lacks some luster when compared to some of the next gen FPS games. The game is fun and very enjoyable, but you have to know what you are looking at before jumping into it. It does not have a completely open environment like it advertises. Instead you will find that you have a series of missions to accomplish, but are free to choose which mission to do at any given time. The controls are a little loose and takes some time to adjust and the AI isn't all that great. The game is not lacking in action though, so if you need a mindless free for all shooter, you can find it here.
A Good Addition to the Medal of Honor Series July 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a good addition to the series and the game is fun to play, however, there are some things I dislike about this game, which is:
-It is not compatible with the dual shock 3 controller, so no rumbling when firing your weapons. Which is totally difference then the rest of the series, that's disappointing.
-EA didn't include actual WW2 video footage, like in the rest of the series. I'm a big WW2 fan, so I enjoyed seeing what actually happened in the war.
-You can't do a military crawl like the rest of the series and I don't like the way grenades explode - it's kind-of weak.
-It's too short; which is my complaint regarding the entire series, with the exception of FRONTLINE, which is the best one out of the entire series; in my humble opinion.
If I had to rank the series (FOR PS2 & PS3 users), it would be in this order: FRONTLINE, EUROPEAN ASSAULT, AIRBORNE, RISING SUN. I put European Assault ahead of the PS3 Airborne because of the things I mention above (no actual WW2 video footage, no controller rumbling, no crawl, grenades exploding and its too short.) That's also the reason why I gave it 4 stars. If I could have giving it 3 1/2 stars then I would have. It gets 4 stars because of weapon upgrades. But all and all, it's a fun game
 Setting the Standard for Military Games July 3, 2008

OK... first off, I'll have to admit that the game is actually a 4-star. But I loved it because of the Airborne aspect of the game. It reminds me of the good ol' days from when I was with the 82nd Airborne Division. The controls took some time to get used to, but I was soon on my way to earning my medals on each mission. The graphics were a bit typical of the MOL series, but still has some great scenes and beautiful pictures. Being in the military, I quickly noticed how real the weapons, airplanes, and armored vehicles sound; really great, crisp, and authentic sounds.
All in all, I really enjoy playing this game. I'm having some trouble with my German internet provider, so i can't comment on the online play, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed when i finally go online.
 great gameplay, classic medal of honor graphics January 21, 2008

I found the game to be fun to play, but lacking in the graphics department(we don't have hdtv's out here). You can tell what they spent there time on and what they didn't. I'm forward deployed to Iraq right now, so the online review will have to wait.
Medal of Honor: Airborne January 7, 2008

I'm really into military/war type games, so I decided to give this one a shot. And I really like this game. It's a bit harder than the older MOH games, however, game play is interesting! You actually get dropped out of planes for each mission, you can land anywhere you like! You can land with your teammates, or you can land behind enemy lines, it's up to you....Each time you play the game it's always different, which is kind of refreshing in today's world of video games.
Weapons are your standard 1940's weapons (American & German), grenades, M1 Garand, bazooka, etc etc
While I do find the controls a bit awkward right now, I'm sure after some time I'll get used to them. I must say the graphics are very nice, weapons are very true to life, game play is very smooth...
Overall, great game, with HOURS upon HOURS of replay value. Remember: Each time you play, it's totally different.
