Medal of Honor: Airborne



This is a really short game. I mean damn its short. Its basically just like any other MoH game except significantly worse, atleast compared to Allied Assault which is an absolute classic.
Theres only 6 levels, each one you start off by parachuting and you can fly anywhere you desire. You have a bunch of objectives to complete in any order you want. So you drop down, follow an arrow, complete objective, checkpoint, moveon.

Theres a small progression system where your guns arbitrarily level up, it seemed really underdeveloped and frankly pretty badly done. Kinda pointless. The AI is standard, not too awful, but there seems areas where they never stop respawning until X gets completed and that is always frustrating. The graphics are nice for the time, not great, but theyre okay. Lighting and shadows look fine, textures are average. Weapon models and reload animations are kind of good. It does kind of seem that rifles suck ass compared to automatic weapons, its just much easier to rush the AI and exploit their weaknessess with a machine gun like an Mp40. It has regen health, one bar at a time, kind of like a shield mechanic like Halo 1.
Pretty much every objective in the  game is GO HERE, PLANT EXPLOSIVE, DO IT AGAIN and it gets really annoying and not fun actually.

It really is a generic ww2 FPS. not really a bad thing, theres just nothing too exciting to play through. An easy game to finish, some small frustrating parts but nothing too bad. The shooting mechanics are satisfying enough, but really the game just isn't that exciting overall. 6 short levels and its over and you're left thinking "That's it?

6/10
