Someone (EA) finally got FPS on PSP right!!!

I must say I am very impressed!! I am a FPS fanatic so when I tell you this game is done right I mean it. Best FPS on the PSP to date hands down. Granted there have not been two many FPS on the system to date anyway, so in comparison it is the best by leaps and bounds. EA has done this one right!!! Let get in to it...

Graphics - 4.5 out of 5 - Some of the best graphics I have seen on the PSP to date. Nuff said...there are patches that get a little rough around the edges but hey it is a PSP.

Sound - 5 out of 5 - Ever played Medal of Honor on Console or PC versions well the sounds compare greatly to its console counterparts. Outstanding sounds and voice acting.

Controls - 5 out of 5 - They said a good FPS could not be done right with the use of only one analog stick on the PSP but guess what EA prove them (Critics) wrong. This game controls beautifully you of course have to use the X,O,square and triangle buttons to look up, own, left, and right but it is done beautifully. It also helps that the action doesn't come at you in a pace where you can't turn quick enough. But if you feel the need just do a double tap for a quick turn.

Game play - 5 out of 5 - if you have ever played Medal of honor on console then you will be please that the same game play elements that made it such a success are still here and work great for on the go playing.

Story - 4 out of 5 - its Medal of Honor...Nuff Said!!

I will say that I am a big 1st person shooter fan anyway so this game was right up my alley and by no means a let down. I was truly skeptical at first considering past PSP FPS, but I honestly can not imagine anyone NOT liking this game once they started playing (Esp. if you like a good FPS).

Bottom Line: We are in the Holiday season and it is really starting to show, some of the best games we'll see this year are being released now and in the next couple of weeks to come and Medal of Honor will be ranked among them easily.

It's War--On the Go! Amazing! Spectacular! Worth the Hype!!

This game has been on my "Must buy" list for about three months now. And picking it up today was a sigh of relief, almost.

When you first turn on the game, you are struck by the music and the main menu. Once again, EA NAILED IT! Great MUSIC, and the Menu is easily navigatible.

I thought it'd be best to learn the control scheme in Skirmish mode rather than try my luck at playing online... ...once again, WOW! It was as if I had picked up a PS2 controller. The guys at EA got this right! There are a lot of small "shortcut" buttons that allow for all the functions that the PS2 Medal of Honor Games have. For example, double tapping the right D-pad button will automatically switch to grenades from your weapon--very handy in a heated online game!

As far as the Multiplayer, which is why 99% of people are buying this game, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! I was shocked to see that there was already 32 people online, and I jumped into a game with no hassle. One thing I love about the game is the ability to pick up weapons! This is very handy when you are regularly a sniper, but at the moment, the Bazooka that the guy you just killed was carrying looks very appetizing.

Another GREAT feature that adds a lot of strategy to the game is the Sprint function. By normal ways your soldier will walk, and if you NEED to run, you tap, and then hold the up analog stick. By doing this your character will sprint, BUT he will also lose his energy (which is represented by a meter in the lower left corner). Once he regains his energy you may sprint again. This is very much like real life, and is a healthy alternative to those other games that let you sprint continuously around maps with irregard to the fact that humans, and especially weapon-carrying soldiers DO get tired, and slow down.

Really, I can't say anything bad about the game AT ALL. My only advice would be to turn the sensitivity of the analog stick and directional buttons up ALL the way, because they were a bit sluggish when just starting.

The maps in this game, were something I didn't cover to well, but they absolutely ROCK! My favorite so far is the bridge map! I sniped 4 Nazi-Scums on that map in about 2 minutes.

Got to go kill some Nazis!!!!

This is what portable gaming is meant for!!!!

EA Games has pushed the PSP to it's limits with this game.The graphics are almost PS2 quality just a little bit choppy.And OMG,the 32 player online gameplay is un frekin bealeveable.It is like HALO 2 on xbox live and i have it for xbox 360 folks.This is free online play.unlike Xbox live which is $5 a month.Anyway buy this game at Ebgames or Gamestop and try it.If u dont like it return it.But 80 out of 100 people could not put this game down.It is only $40.That is kinda expensive but wait 2 to 4 months and u will get it for $30 or $25.Please try it.U will not be dissapointed.

Best Game for PSP, No Kidding!!

I just got this game today and it is the best game I've ever played for this system. While the PSP versions of "Godfather" and "Scarface" were huge letdowns compared to other consoles, this Medal of Honor is even better than the originals! Gameplay, controls and graphics are amazing, and very realistic too...you can even kick away grenades thrown at you! There is a great variety of weapons and uniforms to choose from in skirmish and multiplayer modes, adding to the pros of this game. (There are no cons!)Buy this game if you like shooters, and if you don't have any money, ask for it for Christmas!

Impressive

Wow, at first when I heard of this game I was thinking no big deal, its probably going to be like Coded Arms and have really bad controls and everything. Man was I wrong! I first downloaded a demo of this game off the internet and played it. First thing I noticed were the beautiful graphics, much better then Socom or any other game. After playing the demo I was thinking, wow, this game rules. I shortly after words bought a copy for only $20. Thats pretty cheap. Campaign is very fun. You get 15 missions on 3 different difficulties,green, veteran, or hero. Green is very easy and I would only recamend playing it for the first few missions. Then I would go back and switch to veteran. Its a lot more fun because there are more unlockables, like new uniforms, that Green mode doesn't have. Campaign objectives do repeat after a while but they start to change as the campaign nears its end. Your allies have ups and downs. For starters, you run through them so no annoying allies getting stuck in doorways and ruining the entire mission. You can also shoot through them too, so accidental friendly fire can't happen. The downs are that they never played catch with their fathers, meaning THEY CAN NOT THROW GRENADES
AT ALL. Every grenade they lug at the enemy SOMEHOW ends up right next to you. Luckily, you can kick the grenades away.

Skirmish mode is basically you versus the computer. Up to 16 computer players and you battle it out in one big deathmatch. You can choose the uniform you want to play in, the gun you spawn with, the map, and how long you want to play(5-30 minutes).The demo of Medal of Honor(MOH)IS skirmish mode. In the demo you play with 8 computer players. Imagine 16! The only bad thing about it is that you can't decided how long you want your respawn time to be. By default, its about 10 seconds.

Unlockables are cool. You can unlock new uniforms in the campaign mode to play as in skirmish mode and online mode. You also unlock medals by doing certain things like killing 25 enemies or something.

I've played very little with online. You sign into online with your EA account. Its free and you can make one on your psp. 32 people online is a little laggy and it's definitely different then campaign mode. I won't say if online is bad or not because I haven't played enough of it yet.

A lot of people have been saying that Socom is better than this game. Its not, trust me. In Socom there is no skill. There is target locking in Socom, meaning all you do is go around with a button held and lock onto the enemy and blow them away. Its not fun at all and it is the most repetitive game ever made. Load times for Socom are awful too. MOH's load times happen very quickly and occur only when you start a mission and load the game(which doesn't take long). Socom's load times? Just plain awful. You have to load the main menu, the mission menu, and then finally, the mission. Then you die and you have to do all over again.

So over all, I would try the demo of medal of honor first. Just find it on google. This game is very fun and well worth your money.

Just not good enough

Well, I had been playing the excellent SOCOM Seal games and I decided to pick up Medal of Honor as I had hoped it would be another shooter of the same quality.

Nothing makes sense.

I'm playing green level (easy play, limited unlockables) because I like to play the stories through before going back and playing at harder levels.

You can't clear an area. You move in and clear a building, doing all the right things. There is no way into the building - but enemies keep appearing out of the building. There is no strategy - all you can do is move and shoot. The tactic that works this time will get you killed next time.

For some levels, the victory conditions are just not well laid out. I could not figure out that I had to hold a particular flag for 180 seconds - and once I did the level became overly simple, all you did was back into a tunnel and defend - this worked most of the time, unless multiple enemies were created at your rear.

Your own men jump in front of you - which is disconcerting until you realize that you can shoot through them.

Fragging is a mess - your own men are constantly fragging you - they throw grenades in random directions and if you are lucky you can kick them away. The only good news is that you seem to be able to take a lot more frag damage than the Germans.

The other disconcerting thing is that the German weapons are better than yours. Better mag sizes, (the Thompson has the small mag that holds 20, and the German equivalent holds 32. The BAR holds 10 and the German equivalent holds 30. But the shotgun seems to be the best for anything except distance work. In skirmishes I always want a shotgun - also, reloading the shotgun makes the most sense. So you are constantly picking up weapons and then killing people and running into fire to get the ammo that they drop - which, again, makes NO SENSE. But you have to do it.

Compared to the SOCOM US Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo game, the shooting is miserable. There is no target locking - you are aiming at the enemy by swiveling and strafing. Nothing you can do in a game makes any sense as compared to real shooting, but I've fired competition combat pistol and 3 gun matches and you mentally snap from target to target - so the whole concept of target lock and snap to different targets makes more sense in a simulation of the real world.

So: No real strategy, bad shooting, and the one thing that could allow this all to make sense, a good story line that you could actually play through, is also missing, because even at green levels, you can't figure out how to win the levels.

Buy the Seal Team Bravo game - when you get done with the story, you can play with others and frag to your heart's content - on the Internet if none of your friends have the game.

And in a way, I feel bad that the Medal of Honor is tied to this game.

I gave the game three stars because, well, it has not hung up yet.

eh....

A few months ago, when amazon was selling this same game for $20 through target(or the other way around) this game was a great bargain. It gave nice and stylish graphically amazing gameplay with an online option in a portable package. For $40 im not so sure. This game was pretty amazing fot 20 but u may have to rethink the descision to buy it at 40.

So many things could have been done...

EA just wasn't with it this time around. I'll start off with single player.

I'd have to say each mission is exactly the same, there's just no change. Everything is about holding a certain area, there's just no change. There's really only a few weapons worth using, and the physics just aren't there. If you are going to buy this game simply just for single player, I advise you to back away, even the average gamer can easily complete single player on the hardest skill level. I would have honestly only payed $10 for this game, it litterally took me only 1 and a half hours to beat, on two difficulties.

Now for the online...

Online isn't any better than single player. There's only about 100 people on a day comapared to SOCOM FTB2's 4000-6000 online daily. With 32 players, there's nothing more than lag. EA could have also made some different maps instead of taking them off of single player, in my opinion, that's just flat out laziness. They also could have created team deathmatch, and created an option to turn respawn off.

Final words: EA got one, and only one thing right. The graphics. Out of all the PSP games I have played, this has the 2nd best graphics. But honestly, graphics don't make the game, it's the gameplay that counts.

This game is great, online there can be 32 players in a game witch is a new psp record. The controls work perfect on the psp. The one player part of the game is good but to short, you can beat it in about 2 hours. And if your goal is to get in the top 100 score board on EA online, its quite easy. I got to rank 88 in about 4 days I think.

pro. 32 player games online.
pro. controls work well.
pro. 68 unlockables. (or so)

con. to short story.
con. it takes to meany bullits to kill some one online.

Great Multiplayer!

The best part of this game is it's vast Online Community with thousands of players. It features 32 player multiplayer maps, and is very fun. The single player isn't real great, but it's good enough for when you don't have an online connection!!! MOH: heroes does a great job w/ controls on a PSP Shooter game, though there are some glitches in the game. Like, in single player, you can get shot through walls at time, and gernades take more than a few seconds to explode. Great pointless fun! Buy it if you have a Wireless conection, or if you don't get Syphon Filter.
