Medal of Honor Heroes (PlayStation Portable, 2006)

Maybe my review title is a little confussing or maybe not...

This game is one of the few that I paid "full price" for ($35 at Costco) due to the hype and my love for WWII FPS games. I did not even rent it before I bought it because I was just that sure it would be awesome. I did check out a couple of reviews on G4 and via the X-Play RSS Video Review Podcast so I was pretty sure it would at least meet my expectations.

It did ! This game is awesome, at times I felt like I was there, killing Nazis and taking names... The graphics are well done and the music / sound are also very neatly executed. I have completed a couple of the missions and the story does keep you interested.

The area that really surprised me the most though was Multiplayer. I have to admit that I hate playing online, those 12 year old kids that spend all day "working" on their "sk1llz" and then act like children when tossed into the theatre of war and trash talk do not impress me.

Multiplayer was a blast - I could not believe that I was playing online - there was no lag ( I do have cable but somebody was surfing the net while I was playing and it was flawless ). I was able to get into a game very very quickly and easily once I remembered by EA Nation username & password.

If you love multiplayer and WWII then this is the game for you. If you like WWII and FPS single player, then I would strongly suggest this game as well. I have not played the other WWII FPS due out soon; Brothers in Arms D-Day (FYI Gamespot gave Brothers in Arms D-Day a 5.9 while they game Heroes a 7.3) but this is a great game - just get it !
