Medal of Honor 2010 Reviews From Around the Web
Medal of Honor from Electronic Arts was released today October 12, 2010 and has mixed reviews.
Some claims Mendal of Honor doesn't stand up to Call of Duty while others believe it has an unnerving realism.
Call of Duty will soon be releasing their latest project, Black Ops which many gamers are awaiting and believe will surpass Medal of Honor.
Here are a few reviews from gamers around the web.
PC Gamer: Medal of Honour is a game that struggles with identity. It's sometimes brave enough to let players not be the hero, and it's invigorating when it does so. The back half of the game is more retreat than fightback, sprints away from combat and into the welcoming rotors of evac choppers. Moments like these carry the sense of martial respect that the game's developers have tied the game up with, but they're undone by tiresome tropes cribbed from contemporaries.
Joystiq: Where the game falters is in its reliance on scripted events that take control away from the player. [...] The graphics are a mixed bag as well. [...] In spite of its occasional shortcomings, the campaign in Medal of Honor kept me immersed in its world, and made me further appreciate the efforts of our real-world armed forces. [...] In any other genre, a stellar single player experience would be enough to garner a whole-hearted recommendation. But it's impossible to ignore the importance of multiplayer, especially when Medal of Honor's primary competitor tends to excel at both. Medal of Honor's campaign is an exceptional experience, but the total package simply doesn't beat Call of Duty.
Kotaku: Medal of Honor's campaign is a short, though taut experience with engaging level design, deft pacing and surprising audio and visual touches. Online, the game maintains most of what makes the campaign sing, but doesn't quite deliver the number of options modern day shooter fans may expect. Despite the hoopla over modern settings and the inclusion of enemy Taliban, there are no deep messages in Medal of Honor beyond one of the effectiveness of the U.S. military in the Middle East.
Electricpig: [T]he multiplayer is excellent, offering a solid structure which encourages you to improve your skills and rewards effort with enhanced equipments and rank. Ultimately, Medal of Honor combines a decent single-player mode with a superb online component, but we're not entirely sure this package is going to be enough to drag people away from the still popular Modern Warfare 2, or the newly-launched Halo Reach. The solo campaign isn't as enjoyable or innovative as either of those games - in fact, it brazenly borrows many elements (including the slow-motion door-busting mechanic, employed to empty a room of enemies) from Activision's illustrious best-seller.
