    This game is cleaner"polished" if you will, howver the game play is alot slower, the weapons have completly been revised to shoot more real, the M1 Garand is like the old shotgun 2 shots you're dead, I love the first, the second will take me some time to adjust too. If you like graphics and realizem try this game out, if you love game play all or nothing choas then stick with the This game is cleaner"polished" if you will, howver the game play is alot slower, the weapons have completly been revised to shoot more real, the M1 Garand is like the old shotgun 2 shots you're dead, I love the first, the second will take me some time to adjust too. If you like graphics and realizem try this game out, if you love game play all or nothing choas then stick with the first edition. 6 out of 10 for me due to the major differance between the games, the fact they (EA) had to reinvent the wheel, and there are already hakers in the game of which EA won't do anything about.… Expand

    Sadly a significant step down from the first Heroes game, it was much less a sequel to the PSP exclusive and more a lazy excuse to bring 32 player online multiplayer to more platforms - strongly evidenced by the fleeting experience the game now offers without it.

    Gone are the fun, digestable, wide open, vertical, non-linear multi objective missions where you defend footholds from all sides; instead it's an on rails affair more in line with the mediocre casual play of Vanguard. No more hunkering down strategically with a squad, conserving medkits and ammo as you go - in Heroes 2 you'll walk an admittedly straight line, stocked aplenty with gunplay dictated by an abysmal implementation of health regeneration. Failure is not an option either, if you happen to struggle at all be prepared to constantly respawn at checkpoints after a painfully scripted encounter tries your patience.

    If you've played the first MoH Heroes and you are expecting an offline skirmish mode with up to 16 bots and optional loadouts and outfits...you'll be disappointed as it's absent here. Not surprising though given little else resembles the original game as well.

    The pro's are, it's better than Vanguard and the developers managed to scrape together enough production value here to bid a fond adieu to this generation of Medal of Honor. It looks nice, partly due I'm sure to the confined environments, but still it looks nice and it runs well. It's a fun, relatively mindless WWII shooter for the PSP and it manages to paint a pretty picture, weapons sound and look great and there is plenty of action.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.… Expand

    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.

    Though it's hardly sufficient to make you forsake home console warfare for handheld ops, and the dollars-per-hour ratio would give any gamer pause, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 boasts enough polish and design acumen to be worth an expensive few days on the front lines for those who simply want another WW2 shooter experience.

    The solid single-player campaign is over in the blink of an eye, but a strong online component makes Medal of Honor Heroes 2 worth a look for anyone who enjoyed the previous game.
