Let me start by saying that I had heard a lot of things about this game when it came out and that is why I never tried it sooner. I stuck to the Call of Duty series, ghost recon, and other such FPS. I finally was looking for a game to play recently and come across MoH again. I decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did. Let me start this review by saying that I did not play the multiplayer so I cannot comment on that part of the game.
Story - The story was actually pretty good I thought. The story takes place in Afghanistan with you and your team hunting Taliban. You get to switch back and forth between Rangers and Navy SEALS. The story was kind of average until 3/4 through the game. I really thought that the story took off here and this is when it really got interesting for me. I won't go into any further details to avoid spoilers but I really thought that it ended the story in awesome fashion.
Controls - I was pleasantly surprised. The controls are very similar to Call of Duty which made it easy to jump right into the action. I like the fact that you can't just run and gun on this game like you can on CoD. It gives it a more realistic feel to it. Another aspect of the controls I liked was the ability to slide into cover. It kind of reminds me of Ghost Recon's slide into cover. I found it to be very usedul when trying to take cover from heavy enemy fire.
Environment - The environment is beautiful for a desert like environment. The graphics are what you would expect from a current gen FPS. I do like that fact that when you are attacked by the enemy, it's not like CoD where you either get attacked from the same level or on top of a building. In this environment, you might start getting shot by enemies hiding behind rocks on the same level with you but that you also start noticing enemies shooting at your from behind rocks on on steep hillsides. I think it adds a cool aspect to the game.
Gameplay - I loved how you couldn't run and gun on this game. You slightly can to a certain extent but you must exercise control or you will get gunned down. The guns respond nicely. Guns are very accurate. I love how this game gives you different scenarios to play through so you aren't always just blazing a trail with your assault rifle. You get to call in many different air supports which are really cool and varied. There are cool sniping parts to some missions that change up the pace. There are some cool covert parts to missions where you get to exercise stealth which adds some more depth to the game. You also get to take control of a few mounted machine guns on helicopters and even get to man the gun on an apache for one mission(AWESOME!).
Conclusion - I felt that this was a pretty strong entry into the FPS marketplace. A cool story with memorable characters along with good graphics and sweet gameplay make for a good time. I really didn't know what to expect going into this game but I'm sure glad I took the time to check it out. After beating this game, I am all of a sudden pumped for the next MoH game set to come out later this year. For any fans of FPS games, this game definitely deserves a playthrough, especially at its current cost.
