Medal of Honor (2010) review

Cover featuring everyone's favourite Dusty

Driving out at night deep into the Taliban controlled areas of Afghanistan was never a good idea. As seen in the trailer, cars go boom, bullets flying everywhere, and yes, the awesome action begins. This is Medal of Honor. For most of you fans of the original Medal of Honor series, this is by far the best installment since Medal of Honor Allied Assault. For most Call of Duty fans, you might think that this whole new Medal of Honor is a complete rip-off from Modern Warfare 2. Well, guess what? It isn't. Medal of Honor puts you into the boots of 3 different characters, namely Rabbit, Deuce and Spc. Adams. You are tasked into well, eliminating the Taliban of course. Go deep into enemy controlled areas, with the help of local rebels, or team mates. Of course, we can never forget the bearded guy on the cover whose name is Dusty. The action for the game itself was a totally new experience from what you get when you play Call of Duty. Explosions aren't as big as they should be. Grenades don't go with a big boom but instead, it goes with a rather smaller explosion.

The scenery of the Afghan mountains were breathtaking. It actually make you feel like you are inside the game itself. Though storyline was awesome as it is. The action lacked the insane swarm of enemies from what you get in Modern Warfare 2 which makes this more realistic for a shooter. Overall, I have gotten to love those sliding moves where you can't really do in most shooters with just as simple as sprint and crouch. Oh yeah, sliding down for cover behind rocks after sprinting is in. Beat that, Modern Warfare 2. The AI for the opposition were quite good. As most of the AI will tend to seek proper cover and fire at you. Though the limitation of the weapons was a little of a downfall and the terrain makes it hard for you to spot where they are.

Fantastic scenery. Is Osama there?

Hey, that's my house you're breaking into...

Maybe we should go hiking someday...

Realistic firefights proved that this game is not to be underestimated by most Call of Duty die hard fans. Overall, the realism has made this game to a really high score. IEDs, sniping and the wind speed and direction affecting it, this has got to be the most close to life shooter ever made so far. The down part for the game is its short storyline and the little variety of weapons. Graphics for the game has brought this game up, though the graphics demand wasn't high. As my 9600 GT can run it at medium without any lags. AI was intelligent enough. Sound quality was superb. Overall, rating. Graphics 9/10. AI 8.5/10. Storyline 9.5/10. Verdict:9/10
