    Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is already a better overall effort than last year, though it adds in a ton of event gameplay and diversity in exchange for a relatively short single player campaign, and relies heavily on its online offerings.

    Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is something that's a bit rare on the PSP, an enjoyable first-person shooter.

    Short but satisfying, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is an action-packed first-person shooter that handles it’s well enough on the PSP. Its few shortcomings are very noticeable but easily forgivable thanks to the solid controls, good campaign and excellent online multiplayer.

    There’s a lot of intense moments in the single player campaign and the multiplayer supports 32 players. The PSP doesn’t have a lot of good FPS in its catalogue but Heroes 2 follows the same pattern of quality shown by the original title. [Dec 2007]

    Medal of Honor 2: Heroes doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. However, like any good sequel it keeps what worked in the original and improves on much of what was wrong.

    Guns feel alright, controls are standard PSP shooter affair, and that's about it. Level design is dull, visuals are bland and somehow worseGuns feel alright, controls are standard PSP shooter affair, and that's about it. Level design is dull, visuals are bland and somehow worse than it's predecessor, probably because the colour palette. The game has random difficulty curb in the middle of levels, and is generally just all over the place with difficulty, enemy placement, and the sorts. It's very boring, tedious, and ugly. I would not recommend this to anyone, it's the worst PSP FPS I've played. Yes, Call of Duty and the Coded Arms games are very much better than this hot garbage. The game is barely even possible to complete, you are SWARMED with enemies on the last level, being shot form literally everywhere.

    You have been warned.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Disclaimer: I played this game on a PS Vita and a PSTV, meaning I had a second analog stick, so my experience with the game would be quite different than someone who played it on a PSP using the face buttons. With that said, the controls are identical to the first MoH game and that’s a good thing. The ability to sprint, quick-look around, and lean around corners or a defilade to shoot are welcome features and impressively done considering the limitations of being on a handheld. The graphics are a highlight of this game and are a noticeable step-up from the first game, and, it could be argued, MoH: H2 is one of the best-looking games on the PSP. With that said, the game, for me, was a letdown. I was expecting more of the first game but with a boost in graphics, but it’s pretty much an entirely different game. Where the first game was more of an open-world, choose-you- own-path- to-the-objectives type of experience, this game was more of an on-rails, walk-in-a-straight line affair. Speaking of objectives, the first game had the primary and secondary objectives shown on your map, so you could choose which ones to go after and when but this game had the secondary objectives completely hidden. You weren’t told what they were during the briefing nor during the gameplay; you just had to stumble upon them as you went. I thought that was a dumb and unsatisfying decision. This game also felt more like a stealth game at times, and I’m not really looking for that experience if I’m playing a FPS World War 2 game. Also, the developers dropped the highly-enjoyable Skirmish mode, a highlight of the first game. Spoilers follow: My biggest issue with Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 was the ending. It just felt like a cheat and that the developers were intentionally being annoying and making it unnecessarily difficult. You are given a 5-minute time limit to escape the base you just spent the whole mission in. It would make sense to put a time limit on the game if you were trying to get out before a bomb you just set was about to go off or there was an inbound air strike or something like that, but there isn’t…you’re just given a random 5-minute limit for no reason. In your way are a series of unnecessarily slow-moving blast doors you have to activate and then wait for them to go down before you continue on. While you’re waiting, you’re treated to swarms of seemingly endless spawning Nazis that attack you from different angles. You will have to do the blast door wait and be attacked nonsense numerous times over as you continue to get killed or have the mission fail due to time running out. Once you get the patterns down and increase your swiftness and pass the last blast door, you have to make your way up a corridor out of the base where even more Nazis spawn and swarm at you. There is cover you can hide behind, but it’s not a good strategy as the clock is still running! You have to make it up that corridor and outside the boundaries of the base itself before the timer part goes away. But the game’s not over. Now you’re in a fenced-in courtyard with a couple of guard towers and more spawning Nazis to contend with. To beat the game, you have to go up one of the guard towers and then walk across a board to get you on the other side of the fence where you meet up with a squad of American soldiers who, for some reason, were there the whole time just watching you get shot at while you tried to make your way to the other side of the fence. That last ending part just made no sense. All the Nazis are focused on stopping you and are paying no mind to the Americans on the other side of the fence who are assaulting their base. The whole experience at the end of the game just frustrated me, from the unnecessary timer to the unexplainable boost in difficulty to having to try dozens of times to successfully escape to the fact it just didn’t make any sense…it just left a bad taste in my mouth and left me wondering why the developers deviated so far from the first game. The game looks great…but looks aren’t everything and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is the perfect embodiment of that.… Full Review »
