Good day.
You know, it's very seldom that I'm impressed by a game these days.
And Medal of Honor is one of those games that is very surprising in its greatness.
You see, the graphics for this game are quite amazing.
I mean, who knew the Playstation 1 could actually run a game this graphically complex?
Wait... this isn't the PS1 game?
Then why is it called Medal of Honor?!
Why not just call it Medal of Honor...
Future Warrior or something?
Oh, because there's no creativity anymore?
Ah.
I see.
Well, anyway, here we have Medal of Honor 2010.
A game that shows just how uncreative the first person genre is these days.
Basically, this is the modern incarnation of the standard first person shooter.
You see, back in the 1990's and early 2000's the standard first person shooter was actually
good.
You actually got to play a game.
Whereas here, we don't have "a game".
Instead, what we have is an interactive film of sorts.
Yeah, there is some gameplay, but it's so strictly linear there's nothing you can really
do differently, which means there's no reason to play this game multiple times.
After your first playthrough, you've seen the game.
You've seen the entirety of the game.
Even if you up the difficulty, it's still the same bloody game, you still shoot the
same people with the same weapons in the same places.
There's no real reason to even try at this game because there's nothing you're really
doing but going to different cutscenes.
Now, of course, there's the multiplayer for the game which I'm not going to even bother
addressing because multiplayer has been in games for many, many years.
So really, it's nothing special.
Now basically what Medal of Honor is, is not a Medal of Honor game.
Rather, it is a Modern Warfare clone in every single solitary way.
And this is quite disappointing seeing as how Medal of Honor used to be actually distinct
from Call of Duty.
But oh well, that couldn't last, could it?
So does this game have any remarkable qualities whatsoever?
Are there any aspects of this game that break away from the norm?
Well the answer is... no.
It's just amazing how utterly generic this game is.
How there's nothing really "wrong" with it, per se, you can still actually play it and
it won't just have a bunch of glitches or things of that nature, but there's nothing...
right...
with it.
It's literally just a generic game in every sense of the word.
Sure, I may be getting a bit repetitious with the generic moniker, but the game itself is
repetitious.
If you've played Call of Duty 4 or any of the other Modern Warfare games, you're basically
going to be playing the same kind of game.
And so, this is Jon, wishing you MUCH BETTER Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, Medal of
Honor: Frontline, or whatever makes you happy.
