    The best shooter available for the PSP and the multiplayer makes it even more appealing.

    No objectives, no friendly troops wandering into your line of sight, just furious man-maiming gameplay. Sweet. [Christmas 2006, p.88]

    Despite some ugly flaws, however, Medal of Honor Heroes manages to fulfill the PSP's promise of delivering a console-level experience in a portable medium. [Dec. 2006, p.132]

    It's a perfectly serviceable war shooter offline, and turns into a strong SOCOM rival when you're gunning with 31 other players, which is just the sort of action the PSP has been missing.

    Despite its faults, Heroes makes a decent showcase for PlayStation Portable’s power and does justice to the Medal Of Honor series. [Jan 2007, p.95]

    If you've got perfect eyesight and a lover's touch on the action buttons there's plenty to get stuck into, particularly the accomplished multi-player mode. If not, then we suggest you stick to PS2. [Christmas 2006, p.101]

    Without PS2's power, MoH is tiresome and dull. [Christmas 2006, p.98]

I expected both a sub-par MoH and a sub-par FPS experience all the same, given the limited rendering capabilities of the system, as well as its limited available inputs, compared to a typical controller.

    Despite all of this, I'm glad went and gave it a go, because considering the PSP's limitations, Medal of Honor: Heroes is a very solid FPS, which utilises the control scheme of the PSP rather well, looks decent (but not groundbreaking, even for the PSP), sounds good (especially the opening music theme) and feels satisfying gameplay-wise. I can't comment on the multiplayer aspect, which, as of March 2018, I'm certain is totally inactive, but regarding single-player content, for a portable title, there is enough to do. Heroes has a campaign which takes you through 3 operations, in Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium, which is standard of previous MoH games, but is relatively short, and not too deep. You can get through it in a few hours. There's a Skirmish mode also, allowing you to play a Deathmatch against a user-defined number of bots on any of the maps unlocked by reaching specific missions in the campaign, which is good fun for killing time on the go.

    My only major gripe with the game is the unconventional controls, which in themselves I can't be too critical, since it makes the best out of the limited button scheme of the PSP. But things like moving and reloading, which is mapped to the left d-button, can become uncomfortable in prolonged play session. But, aside from that, as a Medal of Honor game, it's alright, but as a portable FPS, it's probably the best you can get on the system.

    Verdict: If you have a PSP, and are looking for a decent FPS on the system, this is a great start! Plus, the game shouldn't be too expensive, maybe €5, so give it a go!
