4.0 out of 5 stars
Medal of Honor: Airborne, January 6, 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Medal of Honor Airborne (Video Game)
I'm really into military/war type games, so I decided to give this one a shot. And I really like this game. It's a bit harder than the older MOH games, however, game play is interesting! You actually get dropped out of planes for each mission, you can land anywhere you like! You can land with your teammates, or you can land behind enemy lines, it's up to you....Each time you play the game it's always different, which is kind of refreshing in today's world of video games.
Weapons are your standard 1940's weapons (American & German), grenades, M1 Garand, bazooka, etc etc
While I do find the controls a bit awkward right now, I'm sure after some time I'll get used to them. I must say the graphics are very nice, weapons are very true to life, game play is very smooth...
Overall, great game, with HOURS upon HOURS of replay value. Remember: Each time you play, it's totally different.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Impressive, December 26, 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Medal of Honor Airborne (Video Game)
This is the first game I've played for PS3, and I was intrigued with the concept of the game. I'm a veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, and I was thrilled to see my former job (from an earlier era of course) being brought to life. For a video game, it's a hoot, a lot of a fun to play (like all MOH games). If you like any past MOH games, you'll love this one...and while I haven't been playing it for more than a day, I'm dying to pick up the controller again.
It is great how you can start anywhere on the map from the time you jump, instead of just appearing somewhere on the battlefield to face the same enemy and watching for the same enemy movement and such. The A.I. for the enemy is pretty good, they react to what you do very well. For instance, if you start hitting them hard with grenades and automatic fire, the enemy will start pulling back and digging in, they won't just start running toward you so that you can continue to mow them down. If they're dug in with a gun, you'd better be a sharp shooter, otherwise taking out a gun is a serious hassle (as it should be).
As for the graphics, I was expecting better, but when you're dealing with MOH, the gameplay more than makes up for any deficiencies there. I highly recommend "Airborne!"

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Good Addition to the Medal of Honor Series, July 24, 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Medal of Honor Airborne (Video Game)
This is a good addition to the series and the game is fun to play, however, there are some things I dislike about this game, which is:
- It is not compatible with the dual shock 3 controller, so no rumbling when firing your weapons. Which is totally difference then the rest of the series, that's disappointing.
- EA didn't include actual WW2 video footage, like in the rest of the series. I'm a big WW2 fan, so I enjoyed seeing what actually happened in the war.
- You can't do a military crawl like the rest of the series and I don't like the way grenades explode - it's kind-of weak.
- It's too short; which is my complaint regarding the entire series, with the exception of FRONTLINE, which is the best one out of the entire series; in my humble opinion.
If I had to rank the series (FOR PS2 & PS3 users), it would be in this order: FRONTLINE, EUROPEAN ASSAULT, AIRBORNE, RISING SUN. I put European Assault ahead of the PS3 Airborne because of the things I mention above (no actual WW2 video footage, no controller rumbling, no crawl, grenades exploding and its too short.) That's also the reason why I gave it 4 stars. If I could have giving it 3 1/2 stars then I would have. It gets 4 stars because of weapon upgrades. But all and all, it's a fun game
