From Jeff Gerstmann's review, it appears to be cinematic to the point of breaking the rest of the game. He had to reload a checkpoint six or seven times in one area because of a game-breaking bug (something about a character phasing through a door that screwed up his progress), and after he shot up an area, his squadmate walked up to him, warning him of the danger he just annihilated.

It looks like it would be better to stick with Bad Company 2, since multiplayer there is very similar to Medal of Honor.

Hahaha. No, it is not.

The betas made it seem pretty similar, but I like Bad Company 2 more.

Yeah, when I read about tech issues in a console game I just wonder WTF the devs were smoking. One single hardware config and no options for the player and they still can't deliver consistent performance? Get a new job.

I just finished the game. Steam says I've finished it in 6.6 hours but I spent half an hour eating and another ten minutes buying milk at the grocery store.

Game isn't too bad, it's trying to compete with MW and in that regard, it gave COD a run for its money. However it's so much like COD itself you think you're playing Modern Warfare 2.5 or something.

The game is well optimised. My laptop usually burns up when it runs a UE3 game but this ran smoothly, no issues, at medium settings with AA on. You can tell it's a port, the settings aren't very tweakable. Hopefully multiplayer is different (Frostbite engine, lots of config files to mess with there). Graphics are a stunner, I'm quite impressed with how much effort Danger Close put into the technical side of things. I'm not sure why StingingVelvet has issues with the game, I enjoy(ed) it.

EA botched the ending, I kicked the door to save my team mates who were held hostage and suddenly I got the credits with Linkin Park music (I know how much that pisses you off, Navagon). Turns out that wasn't the ending but there was an even more pretentious ending after that.

Have not tried multiplayer, will try later.

Is it worth $60? No. But it's a pretty good campaign, and even though that bearded guy is only there for like, once or twice throughout the game (and he's on the goddamn cover), I think maybe a half off deal or something would suit it nicely. Pick it up on the cheap, I say.

And not as polished.

It's like playing Two Worlds instead of Gothic or Elder Scrolls, it works and is a nice pretender, but this game ain't got the goods to match up.

Also the aliasing is terrible and like Dead Space the AA option in the menu does nothing. Forcing it in my nvidia control panel does nothing either. Fun.

Yeah, AA was pretty crap (like I said, it gives away the fact it's a console port, and there have been better ports). Still, ran pretty well.Also the amount of patriotic dick swinging is annoying. To dedicate a game that will be played by millions (hopefully for EA's sake) around the world, to say it's dedicated to American forces is a bit much. What about coalition forces? Or NATO?

Beat the game... it is a bit short, I didn't know I was at the end until the credits came up. Good game though, singleplayer-wise anyway... not as polished as MW as I said before but still pretty good.

The mission before the last was the best maybe... I like the sneaky levels.

the ammount of games that I buy in a year that are BRAND NEW on DAY ONE - I can count on 2 hands

so far they have been 3 - Demon's souls, Castlevania lords of shadow and Metal Slug XX for the psp

too many games that come out this day and age are complete rubbish, and regarding MOH - it's absolute shite, no one should don't bother with it

Until they butchered it and it became a firefight orgy. So... we should bother with it?

sorry, it's 7 am here and I just woke up

regardless, I hope people get my point

4 hour singleplayer game
Complete copy of MW2 multiplayer
Horrible art direction
Terrible story

Even if MW2's multiplayer sucked, at least it had an entertaining campaign...EVEN if it was 5 hours long

MOH has nothing to offer

MOH has a better multiplayer than MW2. The game's not even out yet outside North America (unless you found a store selling early, you cheeky bastard you), so I'll give EA/DICE the benefit of the doubt when I see only about 2000 people playing online. Like many have said, MOH's single player is not terrible, it's almost exactly on the same level as the COD series, sometimes a bit better in some parts and a little worse in some parts. To say it's utter shit is unfair unless you've tried it yourself.

Those reviews are pathetic, I should add.

The only thing singleplayer it lacks compared to MW2 is polish. The graphics, story, action and pace are arguably as good or better.

MW1 was a better game than both though, easily.
