Medal of Honor Heroes 2
Review by joeyissoweird
"Best 1st Person Shooter for PSP So Far"
I've never played Medal of Honor Heroes 2, and the only memory of me playing a WWII game is one Medal of Honor game most likely on the Playstation. But Medal of Honor Heroes 2 has gotten me to enjoy these World War Two games just with the Multiplayer, then with the Campaign.
The story is a common plot that I see for a World War Two game. You are a OSS operative assigned to find out what the Germans are up to. After London is bombed, your character's allies think that they are going to start using nuclear weapons. So now you are in France, trying to find out what the hillabajibas is going on.
Okay, I have no clue what most of my missions were because I'm not anyone in the military and I don't understand much about guns, but I did have fun. I'll start with the graphics. The graphic are pretty great for a PSP game. Everything looks great. Great detail, etc. Not much blood, though. That makes it a little less interesting, but who cares? We have enough blood as it is.
The sound is great. I love the shooting sounds, not much background noises so you won't feel like you're playing a game because.. dude, who has ever heard of a guy listening to a CD players while shooting germans? Okay. I love the voice acting. Sounds serious, and tells the story just great. The germans who says "The americans" gets a little too.. repetitive but it's all great.
The artificial intelligence can be a little too.. dull. I go infront of an enemy at some times and he doesn't even notice me. It makes the game a little to easy when I'm required to go directly infront of an enemy, alligned as a straight line sometimes so he can notice me. If what I just described is not artificial intelligence, forgive me. I'm a amateur game reviewer.
The gameplay is simple. Follow your objectives. You go on a boat and bomb it when you need to, shoot the enemies, etc. Not much I have to explain about that.
The controls are great. You use the triangle, square, circle, and x key to look around and the down and up to move. That's pretty simple, alright. You use the left button to reload, and the right to change weapons, You use the L to zoom with a rifle or any weapon, and R to shoot. With a grenade, use the L to take the hook off of the grenade, and throw it. If you hold it too long, well duh you're gonna be blasted away. I do that anyways with Multiplayer as a Suicide-and-Kill technique.
Okay, okay. Excuse my language but who the hell has ever heard of a 32 multiplayer on the PSP? That's pretty impressive. It's not slow or anything. That's just very great. There's different modes of Multiplayers that I don't want to go in to. Pretty much, it's your normal Multiplayer first person shooter or other shooter game.
Overall, Rent or Buy? I'm not sure if you can Rent but Rent first, if you like it, buy. This game is very great. I suggest buy it for the multiplayer. It's very fun. You can be in the car while your mom is at the bank, you can go shooting up some guys. Or in a hotel when you're bored and in drastic need of communication of some short, violence is always the answer (in video games).
