It's War--On the Go! Amazing! Spectacular! Worth the Hype!!, October 24, 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This game has been on my "Must buy" list for about three months now. And picking it up today was a sigh of relief, almost.
When you first turn on the game, you are struck by the music and the main menu. Once again, EA NAILED IT! Great MUSIC, and the Menu is easily navigatible.
I thought it'd be best to learn the control scheme in Skirmish mode rather than try my luck at playing online... ...once again, WOW! It was as if I had picked up a PS2 controller. The guys at EA got this right! There are a lot of small "shortcut" buttons that allow for all the functions that the PS2 Medal of Honor Games have. For example, double tapping the right D-pad button will automatically switch to grenades from your weapon--very handy in a heated online game!
As far as the Multiplayer, which is why 99% of people are buying this game, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! I was shocked to see that there was already 32 people online, and I jumped into a game with no hassle. One thing I love about the game is the ability to pick up weapons! This is very handy when you are regularly a sniper, but at the moment, the Bazooka that the guy you just killed was carrying looks very appetizing.
Another GREAT feature that adds a lot of strategy to the game is the Sprint function. By normal ways your soldier will walk, and if you NEED to run, you tap, and then hold the up analog stick. By doing this your character will sprint, BUT he will also lose his energy (which is represented by a meter in the lower left corner). Once he regains his energy you may sprint again. This is very much like real life, and is a healthy alternative to those other games that let you sprint continuously around maps with irregard to the fact that humans, and especially weapon-carrying soldiers DO get tired, and slow down.
Really, I can't say anything bad about the game AT ALL. My only advice would be to turn the sensitivity of the analog stick and directional buttons up ALL the way, because they were a bit sluggish when just starting.
The maps in this game, were something I didn't cover to well, but they absolutely ROCK! My favorite so far is the bridge map! I sniped 4 Nazi-Scums on that map in about 2 minutes.
Got to go kill some Nazis!!!!

Best Game for PSP, No Kidding!!, November 18, 2006
A Kid's Review
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I just got this game today and it is the best game I've ever played for this system. While the PSP versions of "Godfather" and "Scarface" were huge letdowns compared to other consoles, this Medal of Honor is even better than the originals! Gameplay, controls and graphics are amazing, and very realistic too...you can even kick away grenades thrown at you! There is a great variety of weapons and uniforms to choose from in skirmish and multiplayer modes, adding to the pros of this game. (There are no cons!)Buy this game if you like shooters, and if you don't have any money, ask for it for Christmas!

Someone (EA) finally got FPS on PSP right!!!, November 3, 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I must say I am very impressed!! I am a FPS fanatic so when I tell you this game is done right I mean it. Best FPS on the PSP to date hands down. Granted there have not been two many FPS on the system to date anyway, so in comparison it is the best by leaps and bounds. EA has done this one right!!! Let get in to it...
Graphics - 4.5 out of 5 - Some of the best graphics I have seen on the PSP to date. Nuff said...there are patches that get a little rough around the edges but hey it is a PSP.
Sound - 5 out of 5 - Ever played Medal of Honor on Console or PC versions well the sounds compare greatly to its console counterparts. Outstanding sounds and voice acting.
Controls - 5 out of 5 - They said a good FPS could not be done right with the use of only one analog stick on the PSP but guess what EA prove them (Critics) wrong. This game controls beautifully you of course have to use the X,O,square and triangle buttons to look up, own, left, and right but it is done beautifully. It also helps that the action doesn't come at you in a pace where you can't turn quick enough. But if you feel the need just do a double tap for a quick turn.
Game play - 5 out of 5 - if you have ever played Medal of honor on console then you will be please that the same game play elements that made it such a success are still here and work great for on the go playing.
Story - 4 out of 5 - its Medal of Honor...Nuff Said!!
I will say that I am a big 1st person shooter fan anyway so this game was right up my alley and by no means a let down. I was truly skeptical at first considering past PSP FPS, but I honestly can not imagine anyone NOT liking this game once they started playing (Esp. if you like a good FPS).
Bottom Line: We are in the Holiday season and it is really starting to show, some of the best games we'll see this year are being released now and in the next couple of weeks to come and Medal of Honor will be ranked among them easily.
