Prince of Persia: Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor Review

This game is being constantly bashed my MW2 fans. The biggest flaw in the marketing of this game was to compare it to, and suggest that its a contender to MW2. Its simply not the same game. The majority of negative reviews stem from the fact that EA touted this as a MW2 clone more or less, which got all the MW2 junkies on the bandwagon only to be depressed and angry. Its not the same. Its a completely different game, and when looked at alone, not comparitively its a solid game.
Modes:
Campaign:
Decent, but short. Great story, realistic gameplay. Sliding into cover should be incorporated in every FPS from here on out, works fantastically. There is always the opportunity to go back and try a harder difficulty.
Tier 1 Mode:
tough.........replay each mision of the campaign, with a maximum time limit, and no respawns or checkpoints..........
this trumps a veteran difficulty level where you can just figure out a route and sprint to a checkpoint then die and start right there..........
Multiplayer:
BFBC2 on smaller maps, made by the same BFBC guys, I enjoy it, I have put in about 6 hours online and its got the same issues they all have, spawn killing, campers, etc........graphically it excedes BFBC2
Bonus:
Medal of Honor Frontlines remastered (ps3 only)
I never played this before but I have been enjoying it alot. Its a solid FPS from the days before spawn killers, online, and nuke boosting.

Overall:
The campaign has some glitches, some that shouldn't have made it past testing, but oh well, there are a few in every game that comes out. The story is great. Graphics are average for the campaign, and above average, but not the best, for multiplayer. The online is constantly compared to MW2 which is very different, there are no "steady aim" perks that allow you to wildly spray ammo around. If you try running around you will get shot. The goal is realism, and while not perfect, it gets closer than the others. You run around a corner and a guy is crouched there, you are dead, he will see you before you get your gun up from a sprint, thats reality, but will frustrat the hell out of players that are used to running around with light step and marathon, jumping into prone and spraying dual p90's all over the screen...............

EA screwed up comparing this game to MW2, but in the end, its a decent game, two if you count frontlies, which i do because its a solid little game on its own. For me, it was worth the sixty i put out and twenty i got back in GC form. Any review that says this isn't MW2..............unless thats all you like, read on, because people that play other games will appreciate this game much more than those that think COD is all there is..............

Medal of Honor Overview

Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of Operators. Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan. There is a new enemy.

little enjoyment - bbc2 -
I played this at my friends house about 10 times. i regret all 10 times. where do i start? The bland campain?
the mw2 ripoff multiplayer? The single player campaighn is awful to say the most. boring story, boring gameplay and annoying characters. multiplayer cant save this game. i am a big fan of bbc2 , but DICE got it way wrong. just bland gameplay, lame vehicles and killstreaks.

don't believe the reviews !! - W. Alves - Massachusetts
Do yourself a favor and ignore the reviews and try it for yourself. I almost canceled my preorder because of the bad press but decided to give it a try. Turns out I 'LOVED' the game. Easily one of the better fps this year. For the people who keep comparing it to the Call of Duty series, perhaps you should stick to Call of Duty games. Medal of Honor is not Call of Duty nor does it try to be. I will admit the campaign is a bit short, (4 to 6 hours depending on how you play) but other than that, for me, this was a great game.

Doesn't do Justice - BLD -
Dear Video Game Developers,
What are you thinking? I have been waiting so long for this game release. Then I played it and felt ROBBED! Here's a breakdown of things that doesn't do the title, or the service members you portray, any justice:
1. Gameplay: Choppy! "Well, let me see you try and make a game", you might say? How about asking Infinity Ward for some pointers.
2. Graphics: Looks nice on the still-shots, I give you that.
3. Multiplayer: Are you kidding me? It's like we've stepped back in time!
4. Realism (common-sence): You can't even go prone on multiplayer! The setting is in Afghanistan! Going prone in order to not get shot is the first thing that anyone would do! You make it as if we are ginger-bread men fighting. The weapons? A 5.56mm round cannot go through 10 feet of concrete! A 25mm cannon from a Bradley Fighting Vehicle can't blow a human being to bits (unless it hits him directly)? On that same token, a grenade can blow up an explosive reactive armored vehicle? It takes multiple hits, at point-blank range, of 7.62mm rounds from an M-60 to the face to put an enemy down? I know it's, "just a game", but make some since out of it!

Conclusion: A HUGE dissappointment!
