Medal of Honor Review

Angry Joes Epic Beard Reviews Medal of Honor!


Short Version: Medal of Honor is just average in everyway possible. Perhaps to eager to join the current trends by going “modern”, MOH is unfortunately not quite the production level of Modern warfare 2 and not as refined as Bad Company 2 – making it seem like a game without a strong purpose. Honestly, I would have rather the MOH franchise stayed in WWII.



What you’ll Like:
• You battle in Afghanistan, something that most games have tried to stay away from
• Military Jargon and Atmoshpere is dead on, perhaps too much so that its not cinematic enough
• Excellent sound design!
Best Part: The Helicopter, AC-130 attacks and ATV riding

EPIC BEARD says your game needs more EFFORT!

What you’ll Hate:
• Relatively Boring but Passable Campaign
• Whats with some of these cutscenes, did Danger Close not finish them?
• Too few game modes and extras in multiplayer to have any staying power
• Game’s Campaign took me ….only “5 HOURS and 37 Minutes!!!” to complete!
• Map balancing needs work
Worst Part: Why does this game exist?


Final Verdict:
5/10

Average

Epic Beard is NOT amused!

    You should have came out to a ZZ Top song. ;)

    In my opinion, Joe’s Beard should do more reviews.

    Gotta say, even though i have agreed with most of Joes reviews / opinions, i don’t in this case. Sure it’s got bugs and glitches and that’s poor, but most games these days do. I enjoyed the single player in this a hell of a lot more than i did in Black Ops, hopefully EA & DICE will tighten things up for a possible sequel and get MOH back on top now that Activision have destroyed the COD series.. R.I.P Infinity Ward.

    What are you people doing, whinging about this review just because its a little bit different? This is one of the funniest videos on the site, and there isn’t much to say about this game in the first place; its short, its boring, and its average at best.

    He made all that known during the video, so whats with the complaining? Do you really want every single video of his to be exactly the same every time? Or do you want to be suprised once in a while with something fresh and new?

    Its strange… there were almost no WW2-era shooters at all until Medal of Honor and Return to Castle Wolfenstein came out almost at the same time, to be later joined by Call of Duty. Now these WW2-shooters all seem to be going ‘modern’, but why? Why do we need more modern-day shooters? I mean, I know there are too many WW2-era games too, but why not choose a different time period, like WW1? That would at least be different.

    Single player is nice, unless you love MW2 surreal crap, of course.

    But MP is just full of hackers!! There is always a couple of guys in each server with stupid K/D ratios (40/5; 30/2; etc) while most players die as soon as they respawn! This game will be dead soon, and MP will remain full of hackers and noobs who just don’t know what they are getting into..

    I even know that some admins use hacks, so don’t bother to accuse someone in a server because they will eventually kick you out..

    I am so fucking stocked in the game on PC at the place where you have those googles to shoot the jeeps. Those fucking googles won’t work, and sometimes the background…just bug all over the way. I found the game easy, maybe because ported on xbox and other so called “I play FPS with a pad” people.
    I’m gonna downclock my cpu to see if i had overclocked too much. I have a gtx580 i shall be able ta fackin ply !

    May the programmer of the googles be a martian, so that we won’t be forced to trow him up to the end of the darkness of space where he should be able to tell us if Stargate Universe team is doing OK ^^

    JOE PLEASE MAKE A REVIEW OF STARGATE THE GAME ON STEAM…….IT SUCKSSSSSSSSS
    I’m a huge fan mate, i intended to cut my veins during the gameplay. Like Grace would say, “They’re pissing on us and not even giving us the courtesy of calling it rain.”
    Stargate, the whole project, the whole story, the fame, end up in a crappy way. Like we say in France, “Ah monde de merde”

    Hey, Joe. In the intro, you’re holding the rifle with your finger on the trigger. That’s not very good trigger discipline! You should always keep your forefinger pointing straight unless you’re ready to fire, not on or inside the trigger guard! =)

      How the hell is the fact that you can get Battlefield 3 with it supposed to change the game, it doesn’t make the game any better, persuasive facts aren’t supposed to factor in to a review.

    Yeah this game was bad…Multiplayer sucked too with it’s uneven maps. Thank god i’m not the only one that noticed.

    Here’s hoping that Black Ops will blow MoH and MW2 out of the water with its new perks system!
    It’s already been confirmed that Black Ops NO LONGER has Commando, and instead is adding “No Fall Damage” to Light Weight Pro. and now both Scavenger and Scavenger Pro NO LONG REPLENISHES LAUNCHER AMMO! So no more “noob tube” killstreaks! And a new perk called “Hacker” that allows you to rig enemy care packages to blow if anyone on the other team touches them. That’ll teach ‘em to earn their care killstreaks like a man!

    I hope Treyarch Excels where Infinity Ward slipped up!

    alright well i been enjoying all videos and reviews up until this one. The reason why i enjoyed the others was because they covered all aspects of the game covering the pros and cons…this was just a half assed feel review. i mean it was comical but i didnt even watch the whole video.

    its your video and your call Joe but PLEASE stick to the normal formula which has been working for so long!

    anyways the ONLY reason i can think of why this review was done in this manner was just to show that you didnt give two fucks about the game (due to it’s disappointment) that you did not wish to make a serious review about it.

    well anyways keep up the great work man! take care!

    The idea with the talking beard was fun, but somewhat overused. I didn’t really get a lot of info about the game. Slapstick has it’s place, but this review seemed to be more of a parody of an already done review rather than the real thing. While we appreciate humor, don’t sacrifice information for the sake of a few chuckles.

    sorry buddy, but I don’t know what I just watched. You’re way more funny when you do it the old way. You inform us on why the game got a 5/10. This was just…I got a giggle on the first story, but after that I was just waiting for you to talk about the game….weak video man….you’re way better then this so I know you’ll make a much funner video next time, but stay away from this style of shooting. We like when it’s just you talking to us and maybe a little rolplay as a character, but not this. =/

    It’s a definite 5/10. I’ve got the game, I’ve had fun, but yeah, it’s definitely right in the middle of being an average overall game.

    I kind of feel that if they had at least one more year to do this game and make it a bit more solid for both the campaign and even the multi-player, I think it would’ve been a more solid game (a 7/10 maybe).

    Overall, not a bad attempt to do a different review.

    This was a good video. It interesting that you gave this game such a short concise review for such a short and pointless game.

    … Multiplayer is pointless especially since every other big name shooter out there has the same thing. Even MAG is better than this game.

    Don’t listen to the negative opinions Joe, this was a funny and original video. It’s really good to see you trying new stuff out, rather than sticking to the standard ‘talk and show’ format some of your more unimaginative viewers seem to be obsessed with.

    This game is boring, unoriginal and generic – it doesn’t need gamelplay footage or an in depth review to communicate that, nor does it deserve the effort.

    Keep it up.

    The game is one of the worst I’ve played all year. It’s playable, the graphics are … ok I guess, the sound is really good.
    But that’s the problem – it could have been so MUCH MORE. What we get is some quick cash in before Black Ops.

    Your characters (the player) never really speak, have no shadow, no footprints… you’re just a HUD with a gun. In a 2010 game…. o0
    All Taliban look like some comic clichee bad guys. Almost no destructable objects – in a game that uses the Battlefield 2 BC engine. And it took me about 4 hours to complete the campaign on hard.

    Btw – it’s 29,99€ in germany already. That’s how much it sucks. Nobody buys it for 50€….. ^^

    I do feel same way as many people here. This review was not as funny as other review although it was fresh. I hoped you add this part as like an addition to the actual review you do normally.
    BTW it’s hilarious to see cool guy 666 trying so hard to get you guys attention but no one gives a shit LOL.
