It may be the game that popularised the whole concept of first person shoot `em-ups set during World War II, but as the years have gone by, the Medal of Honor series has found itself besieged by more and more copycats trying to offer ever more realistic simulations of the era. This is the first Medal of Honor game made specifically for the next generation of consoles though and finds you taking the roles of both pathfinder Eddie La Point and Private Boy Travers - paratroopers in the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. As such, you'll end up with a whistle stop tour of enemy hotspots in Sicily, France, Holland and Germany. The game takes its paratrooper motif serious too as the game levels are big enough that you actually have some control over where exactly you land and as a consequence what tactics you choose to employ.The game also tries to give you as much freedom as possible with the weapons you use, with each being customisable with authentic parts which you can find during missions. Even the missions are as open ended as possible, as you're given up to a dozen objectives, of which only a few have to be tackled in any sort of order. One side benefit this creates is that the developers have been forced to drastically improve the enemy artificial intelligence so that they can react intelligently to your attacks, instead of just relying on the pre-scripted movements of the earlier games. There's also a stronger tactical element than ever before as you monitor the back and forth of battle between all the forces on the map. As over-familiar as WWII shooters have become, there looks to be enough new ideas here to keep even the most jaded virtual soldier happy.

 Good all rounder! May 4, 2008

The latest game in the 9 year old Medal of Honor series,is a strong return to form. Ever since Rising Sun was released back in 2003, Medal of Honor games have quickly declined, with European Assault and Vanguard, but I'm pleased to anounce that Airbourne is a very different story.
As soon as you start playing the game, you instantly feel that you are meeting up with an old friend, as the classic Medal of Honor gameplay is the same as alway, with great graphics, new ideas, great missions and a good selection of weapons.
The best new aspect of this game is when you jump out of the plane at the beginning of each level, as you can see the whole level beneath you. You can choose to land any where on the map, and carry out objectives in the order you prefer.
The maps are very big and you can access just about every building and even land on top of them to get a great view of the lanscape. Both the exterior and interior are well detailed, which is something that has been lacking from previous MOH games.
Another cool factor is that you can upgraqde your guns, allowing for a greater capcity of ammo or even better scope.
There are 6 Missions in total which are very long indeed. Gameplay can be saved after completing an objective. The later levels are very challenging indeed, offering hours of gameplay.
Once the game is complete you can replay the levels differently by landing in different areas on the map. There are also plenty of additional extras to watch aswell.
It is fair to say that the graphics are a letdown compaired to the mighty Call of Duty 4, even though Airboune is a newer game. But then again Airbourne was due out months before COD 4, but was delayed, so this factor should be brushed aside.
I think that this is one of the best MOH games in the series and a big improvement on recent outings. It's an enjoyable game, with a selection of in depth challenging levels that you'l want to replay over and over again.
Medal of Honor is back in business.
Name a game where you can clonk nazis with your size 9s March 18, 2008

Death from above. This is Medal of Honor Airborne, jump off a plane laden with upgraded gear and rifles, drop on the ground anywhere, then start tearing tdown the nazi machine. Doesn't match the superioty of the first Medal of Honor but is the best of the series for years! Shame that there is no two player.
I would reccomend this game if you like WW2 and if you like clonking nazis on the helmets from above
Better than most January 5, 2008

I really enjoyed the original PS2 Medal of Honor: Frontline game and the new PS3 Airborne game is very similar, in terms of its missions, graphics, music soundtrack etc. The new team player approach does not interfere much, although occasionally comrades will insist on standing in front of your viewpoint whilst you're firing.
Airborne is admittedly a little on the brief side, but still a reasonable length. I find the most annoying thing about the game is being told that every parachute landing I make is botched, while the most enjoyable thing about the game is taking on the 'Nazi elite' soldiers and sabotaging the Nazi war machine in various ways.
I would give credit to Medal of Honor for finally returning to its original roots. Airborne seems to be the natural successor to the PS2's Frontline game. I think that Airborne is easily the best in the series since Frontline. However, if you are looking for radically improved graphics over Frontline plus an endless stream of new missions, then perhaps look elsewhere.
Wot is everyone on about December 27, 2007
I dont understand why everyone is slating the game
It has 6 or 7 awesome levels
put it on a medium level difficulty so its a challenge and it wont seem so short
graphics are good, gameplay is incredible
I own this and call of duty 4 and am not biased but i would choose this over cod4
This game is amazing! December 19, 2007

Having seen this game being slated by so many other reviews i felt like i had to say what a great game this is.I got this game free with my PS3, and having played the MOH games on PS2, i was really impressed by the graphics and the game as whole which is basically on another level when comparing to the PS2.This game is lots of fun, not a mindless shoot em up, but you have to use your head a bit to get through the game without dieing-like use cover, flank the enemy etc.I am only half way through the game, and am really enjoying it.Not sure what the other reviewers here are expecting in terms of graphics?!The graphics are very good, dont see what more you could want.In terms of gameplay you have to play this game on Medium mode or Hard mode to get the most out of it and make it a decent challenge which it is. My only question about the game is once you have played through how often will you want to play through it again.
