“Medal of Honor” or “Medal of Honor (2010)” is a
first-person shooter video game and the thirteenth installment in the Medal of
Honor series but is a stand on its own game that doesn’t connect into the other
“Medal of Honor” games from the franchise. The game comes stocked with your
standard campaign mode where you play through ten missions that you can play by
yourself or in co-op with a friend and you’re fighting, what else but terrorists,
which isn’t to say that you can’t have fun but even with ten missions to play
through the game feels surprisingly short and uneventful. Players can also have
the option to play online multiplayer which is class based, with three classes
available – Rifleman, Special Ops, and Sniper. Players earn experience during
gameplay to level up and unlock additional weapons and weapon accessories.
Again this isn’t what anybody hasn’t seen before in the shooter franchise,
gaining experience through kills online and ranking up and playing through a
campaign taking down a terrorist cell it feels like just another copy and paste
job from “Medal of Honor” or even “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” games that
players have seen before. And with nothing new from the graphics department,
“Medal of Honor” comes full swing to not being an impressive game.
With not much to go on “Medal of Honor” is far from the
year’s best shooter and probably won’t give you much of a yearning to go back
and play if you do manage to play through the entire campaign. The only thing
the game has going for it is the title on the cover of the game, die-hard fans
will want to pick this game up out of loyalty but hey there is not one thing
wrong with that.
Good:
-The fact that it’s a “Medal of Honor” game and will be
picked up by fans
-A decent online multiplayer experience
Bad:
-Unoriginal and boring story
-Lack luster graphics
-You often forget the point or what your objective is in the
campaign
