Medal Of Honor Heroes 2 Review

A quick synopsis about the second portable installment in the long-running Medal of Honor series of World War II games.



Storyline

Its 1944 and the tide has turned in the war in Europe after the great D-day landings in Normandy ,France. However, an unmanned rocket hits London devestating several civilians and infrustructure. However, intel reports the Nazis have something bigger and better to show off to the allies. This is where you step into the shoes of John Berg in the top secret organization named the OSS. Your mission is to find out what the Germans are up to and destroy any plans they may have to offer.



Gameplay and Features:
The majority of the gameplay is fairly similar throughout the game. Objectives include sabotage, infiltration, capturing certain points, etc. The game was rarely but surely criticised for its lack of variety in objectives and gameplay. Most missions in each campaign include the player blowing something up, killing a certain number of enemies, etc. and then sometimes returning to a certain location to escape. The gameplay itself was well executed, with superb animation and somewhat intelligent AI. There are three different levels to be attained in each level, Bronze, Silver and Gold. To score Bronze the player has to complete all primary objectives. To score Silver he must complete the Primary and Secondary objectives. Gold is the same as silver but the player must have high accuracy and kills. Obtaining these different levels increases your rank and helps the player to complete the game 100%. A new Call Of Duty 4 like health system is in the game so taking too much damage would make the soldier have a faster heart rate, blurred vision from grenade shrapnel, and red bloody view when getting hurt. Unlike the first MOHH, players cannot jump and no skirmish mode exists.



Controls: 4/5
Graphics: 4/5
Sound: 4/5
Replay Value: 3/5

Overall: 4/5 its a great game but no good extras exist once campaign is finished and it is also short
