    Excellent game-play with slick graphics, sound, mission briefings and intro videos that all gel together to give an authentic atmosphere. My only criticism is the fact that unlike on other platforms the game lack variation. You never drive vehicles or man any in game items and the missions are all pretty similar.

    Already finished it in one day. Average graphics, average gameplay, average sound...just average really. Multiplayer is the saving grace.

    Look past the tiresome graphics, repetitive story missions and you'll see one of the best first person shooter on the PSP. Unfortunately when you review a game you need to review it as a package and so we can't forget it. Skirmish mode is a massive draw here. Difficulty here is a massive problem here(too easy). Story is great here. Graphics are **** here. Shooting has never been so goodLook past the tiresome graphics, repetitive story missions and you'll see one of the best first person shooter on the PSP.

    I imagine that when this game was released back in 2006, it was an amazing sight to witness. An fps of console caliber simplified for the psp to take on the go must have been incredible. However, in 2020, playing this game is clunky and awkward. Using the face buttons instead of sticks to control where the character looks feels wrong and makes reaction time longer than it should be for anI imagine that when this game was released back in 2006, it was an amazing sight to witness. An fps of console caliber simplified for the psp to take on the go must have been incredible. However, in 2020, playing this game is clunky and awkward. Using the face buttons instead of sticks to control where the character looks feels wrong and makes reaction time longer than it should be for an fps game. I understand that this is a limitation due to the hardware and that the game autolocks on enemies to help alleviate this, but it is still a very annoying and large problem nonetheless. In general, the gunplay, sound design, models, and hit detection were all pretty great all things considered. The campaign is extremely short being only around 2 hours long. Honestly, I was expecting the game to be around this length, and I was looking for a short experience, so I got what I wanted, but I do not think it would have been worth the money just for the campaign when it was released. Getting gold medals in campaign is a rather arduous task, as you are forced to be very accurate and kill many enemies. By simply having an apathetic attitude towards this system, not caring about which medal one receives, I found myself having more fun. Fortunately, there is also skirmish mode which pits the player against a chosen number of ai bots under a certain time limit. I think this mode is interesting, but there isn't really any motivation to complete it besides earning gold medals for each map. There would have been a greater incentive to play this mode if it gave the player some kind of a reward like new guns or outfits. The multiplayer is essentially the same as the skirmish mode, but instead of bots, there are other human players. I can't accurately give my thoughts on this mode as the servers were shutdown long ago, but based on the YouTube comments I read on videos about the game, it was a blast. In general though, I just don't feel like fps games were meant to be played without twin sticks or a mouse and keyboard. Playing fps games using those control schemes feels natural, like I'm controlling a mobile person, but when I play this, it feels like I'm controlling an oblivious slow-moving vehicle. The game is not bad by any means, but it's just not that great either. I think my level of fun peaked at about the third mission. The psp just has a lot better titles to offer, and unless someone really wants to play a tank-like handheld-fps, I would not consider this one.… Expand

    It’s a retread of familiar territory in every way, such that a game like this five years ago would have had me reeling, but now leaves me feeling flat.

    Medal of Honor Heroes proves that a good, albeit extremely short, first-person shooter can be done on the PSP.

    A solid if not heavily flawed title with the best online capabilities of any PSP title to date. So if you can get past the controls and the pacing this might be an ok purchase for you.
