    If you gave this game a "10", you must have worked on it. It's really not good, very short and no where near as polished a game as Halo or Bioshock. Not even close. Hell, it's not even as good as the games before it, except for Rising Sun, haha.

    This game's campaign isn't too bad after you get the hang of it, however some of the missions are repetitive and get tedious over time, the graphics were surprisingly better than I expected, of course, all of this is murdered by the atrocious multiplayer, with a 12 player limit, the maps seem way too big, they are also poorly designed, ass you can be spawn camped by snipers, This game's campaign isn't too bad after you get the hang of it, however some of the missions are repetitive and get tedious over time, the graphics were surprisingly better than I expected, of course, all of this is murdered by the atrocious multiplayer, with a 12 player limit, the maps seem way too big, they are also poorly designed, ass you can be spawn camped by snipers, over, and over, and over again.… Expand

The team AI was really no help and it took me several dozen tries and some luck to finally clear the bridge with an M1. The BAR, a weapon I really liked in CoD, gives me the freaks, extended edition, in MoHA, sporting an unmatched inaccuracy for my understanding and leaving it pretty useless for situations like that.

    I really liked the graphics and the parachuting, though obviously I have no comparison to the BF-franchise that some other reviewers claim to be more enjoyable in that field.    … Expand

    A great game that unfortunately shows the promise of something much, much greater. you can easily see how it could have been pushed to the next level if only EA had spent more time polishing and fine-tuning the gameplay. while the game is more frustrating than fun due to unnaturally fast AI movement, actions, weapon accuracy and super-human hit points, it shines in the successful addition A great game that unfortunately shows the promise of something much, much greater. you can easily see how it could have been pushed to the next level if only EA had spent more time polishing and fine-tuning the gameplay. while the game is more frustrating than fun due to unnaturally fast AI movement, actions, weapon accuracy and super-human hit points, it shines in the successful addition of open-world gameplay and unique level design. at 1st you will be frustrated by the checkpoint system and having to do whole objective areas all over again, but when you understand the type of experience the moh team is trying to provide, it rings true and ultimately brings something wholly different and very uniqe to the genre. a defineite must-play for any moh fan and anyone looking for something different by a team who clearly tried to re-energize a franchise and innovate a genre.… Expand

    Didn't like the demo at first but from sheer boredom kept replaying it and started to really like it so I got the game when it came out. I do like the parachuting feature, although it is a little overhyped for what it actually lets you do. The videos made it seem like it was a completely open experience because of this, but it's not.

I do like the parachuting feature, although it is a little overhyped for what it actually lets you do. The videos made it seem like it was a completely open experience because of this, but it's not. You can usually only land in a specific part of the map but there are many skill drops there along with rooftops and such. But you can't just land anywhere on most of the maps like you are led to believe because you drop too fast to get to further points on the map. It all depends on how high you are when you jump out of the plane really. Once you land, there are usually 3-5 different ways to go so this design makes it much more open although sometimes you have only one objective pop up at a time then the openess just isn't there. The checkpoint system is weird, causing you to have to redo entire missions all the way over even if you only have one objective left when you die. Other times it saves what objectives you've done but you still parachute in after dying giving you a chance to find more hidden skill drops while keeping what you've already done. You just have to wait and see which of these things will happen on which levels when you die because there's no rhyme or reason to it. The enemy A.I. is good, almost too good, making death for you a sure thing if you have one come up behind you and melee you 3 or 4 times in 3 seconds. They are also crack shots with any weapon at any distance and toss grenades around more than the A.I. in COD2 on Veteran. I believe the A.I. is this good because of how short the game is. Only 6 missions, but the weird checkpoint feature along with overly good A.I. and having to redo entire levels over and over makes it seem longer. The levels are pretty long though, so on harder difficulties it will take an hour or 2 to get through them. Nice graphics, a little better than COD3 because of the UE3 textures. Good sounds but the controls are kinda weird and aren't like any other games so it takes some getting used to. Try it if you like shooting games but only buy it if you are and FPS or WW2 nut because it is a really frustrating game.… Expand

    I only gave it a 5 because it's actually playable. When you have an achievement for "not dying" you know that the game is too hard... I play a game to have fun not to die 20 times before I finish a mission, not to mention the sloooow loading. Also, this game lags like crazy and compared to other 360 games, this definately does not have the best graphics. Also, this game is filled I only gave it a 5 because it's actually playable.

Also, this game is filled with glitches, friendly AI is stupid (runs in front of you as you throw a grenade or shooting, getting lost). Just because they shout out a couple of random phrases now then again (the same three phrases) does not make them advanced if they keep getting stuck shooting at a wall. And the jump anywhere and play any class is complete bs, there is a couple points of which you can actually jump on, anywhere else results in a gangbang by ten german soldiers. It's almost impossible to play as a sniper in this game, the enemy can hit you from any distance, the only real class you can actually play is assault... Melee is also crippled and the skill jump points are completely stupid, not only are they hard enough to get to in the first place, there is ALWAYS a german guard there and if you die you have to RESTART THE WHOLE THING. As if surviving a german soldier bashing your skull in as you try to pull out your weapon isn't hard enough already, the developers decided that it won't be saved until you complete an objective, which are almost impossible to complete sometimes because your teamates get lost and you need to FIND them. The enemy AI is NOT GOOD, just because they can kill you does not make them good, cs bots on the highest difficulty can get consecutive headshots, this game is no different, enemies can hit you from anywhere with any weapon. They jump all over the place due to poor animation, one moment they're in the open and the next second they reappear behind cover. Overall, this game sucks, stupid ai, poor level design, lag, glitches, glitches, glitches, insanely hard difficulty, and menu lag... yes even the menu lags.… Expand

    Good game, not great but good. I dunno why everybody is complainig about the difficulty, it's challenging at times but not impossible, it seems like people don't know how to use cover. It's short but it mainly fun all the way. I haven't played online that much, but what i have played i can tell that it's "okay".

    This may not be the best WWII game or the best Medal of Honor, but it's still a pretty good shooter, while the action doesn't get pumping until the last two missions, it's still pretty interesting, and does things that other shooters don't which make it truly unique, sadly multiplayer is only played by a few people which hurts it, if you like WWII shooters and want something different thanThis may not be the best WWII game or the best Medal of Honor, but it's still a pretty good shooter, while the action doesn't get pumping until the last two missions, it's still pretty interesting, and does things that other shooters don't which make it truly unique, sadly multiplayer is only played by a few people which hurts it, if you like WWII shooters and want something different than Call of Duty, or are just a fan of the series, you may want to check this out.… Expand

    Positives of this game are I'd say the tight gunplay, the fairly open levels, the interesting airdrop mechanic (even if it's just really a tiny part of the game) and - though its an even smaller thing - the partial regenerating/permanent health system.

    The game at one time offered some interesting ideas. However, everything else was done poorly.

    I've played European assault and airborne from the moh series, planning to play 2010, warfighter, Frontline and rising sun

    3- the physics are just horrible
    you might see a lot of positives against negatives, but for a fps shooter you must have good shooting Mechanics as i said, otherwise the game will be unplayable, it was unplayable for me for a long long time, every time i try to change my mind and play the game again, it gets even worse, it's a bad sign for me when a game force's me to look for mods to make it playable    … Expand

    An adequate FPS but there's not enough originality here for us to recommend it. [Oct 2007, p.68]
