Editorial Reviews

In Medal Of Honor: Airborne, you'll step into the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the 82nd Airborne Division. Engage in battles throughout Europe, from rocky beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany. Each mission begins behind enemy lines, with an intense and fully interactive airdrop. Your ability to determine your own starting point dramatically changes the way each mission plays out. View the entire operation from the air, and then control your parachute to choose your landing spot. On the ground, gather your senses and assess the terrain. A wide variety of authentic, customizable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Choose your path in this free roaming FPS environment. Medal of Honor Airborne will also feature exceptionally photo-realistic characters, adding to the intensity of the cinematic, story-driven game.

Summary: A real disappointment
Comment: Overall, I'm extremely disappointed in this game. After some odd ball installation issues (to which tech support was no use) I finally found a forum and some other players who'd figured out the fix themselves.

I've attempted to play this thing for several days. I have a very robust gaming system and have tweaked, prodded, adjusted every available setting to get this thing to play well. No luck. Lots of lag, video delay, mouse delay, etc. After struggling through hours of this I finally quit, uninstalled it, and moved on to another game.

Even if they offer to give you this game, stay away. It really stinks.

Summary: Fun but too short and historically inaccurate
Comment: This is a fun game with great graphics and sound but it too short and has some historical inaccuracies. A couple of examples:

In the game, for D-Day, you are dropping during the day. In 1944 they dropped at night.

The last mission is "The Flackturn"; there is Castle Wolfenstein like super soldiers that first appear in operation varsity. It takes a lot to take them down and you have to plan and make sure you have plenty of ammo to do it. It is a fun mission but totally unrealistic.

All in all it is a fun game and I loved the graphics and sound. I waited a while until the game was discounted and if you have the opportunity to buy it cheap - get it.

At the end of the last mission, it ends with picture of a sky full of C-47s laden with troops escorted by P-40 Warhawks. The P-40 WAS NOT in the European Theater at the time.

Summary: MofH Airborne
Comment: A very fun game that is way too short. There are some anomalies like when my character gets stuck in walls and I have to commit suicide to restart. Or the shadows of dead Germans show throw the boxcars onto the ground.

A great concept with the upgrades for weapons and good quality on the realistic peak and shoot ability. The Quality Control department was ether low budget or unqualified and rushed to get it out on its release date. The rank is the same on every Soldier regardless of title which is annoying to a career Soldier.

Overall its fun and I am looking forward to a patch and expansion or second edition. As long as they keep it under 20 bucks unless, it's much longer than MofH AB.

Summary: More fun, and more replayable than Call of Duty 4
Comment: Being a long-time Call of Duty fan, and after reading many negative reviews about this game, I was originally skeptical. I didn't even know if it would work with my x64 PC after reports of compatibility issues.

I needn't have worried. I experienced zero problems installing, patching, or playing this game on my 64 bit operating system.
I also found it more fun, and much more replayable than Call of Duty 4.

Each of the six single player missions takes place on a huge, open map; so the missions are actually quite long.
There are many objectives in each mission, which can be completed in any order, and approached from any direction on the map; so you'll never play the same game twice.

There is no way to save the game (just like Call of Duty 4). The game is auto-saved every time you complete an objective. If you die, you re-spawn in an airplane, ready to jump out and fight right where you left off (if you want to, because you can land anywhere you want and work on whatever objective you want).

Performance was slightly better than Call of Duty 4. Medal of Honor: Airborne, running at 1440x900 resolution, performed similarly to Call of Duty 4 running at 1280x800 resolution; with all other settings maxed out in both games.

My hardware: Gateway P-6860 FX notebook PC with:
Windows Vista Home Premium x64 SP1
4 GB DDR2 ram
Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.8 GHz dual core cpu
nVIDIA Geforce 8800M GTS with 512 MB video memory

If there's anything I don't like about the game, it's that the patches are very large and take a long time to install.
