This is the best MOH so far. not just a little but way better. I played through it a couple more times after beating it, even though i had two more new games to try. This one is really fun. Dont play it first if you want to play the other MOH games because they just dont stand up after playing this one. its just awesome.
What's great about it: Great Gameplay Excellent Graphics
What's not so great: Controls are a little backwards

I got this game for my birthday last year, two days before halo 3 came out, and I sat around playing this until halo. I loved it so much I couldn't stop. The graphics are awesome, weapons, enemies, levels, all of it is awesome.
The multiplayer I thought was lame at first, but then I tried it the other day and haven't stopped since. I would buy this if you're really into first person war games. It's a great game.

Airborne is the best medal of honor game out. EA Sports has made many medal of honor games and this one is the best yet. You get to parachute down and land wherever you want. You can choose what order you do your objectives. The game gives you a lot of freedom. The only part i didnt like was the xbox live part.
What's great about it: lifelike, historical, long hard missions, choose your own class
What's not so great: a little difficult to learn but easy once u do, xbox live

The Medal of Honor series has had its up and downs, but the series once known for linear, scripted missions veers off in a new direction with Airborne. From the moment you jump, you decide where you land, which objective you take first, and how you take it. You can land near your allies and fight your way on foot, land in the church tower and snipe at your enemies, or land in the middle of a German squad and...better luck on the next jump. The game allows you to decide which weapons to take with you, and with each kill you gain experience that unlocks upgrades. The AI governing both your enemies and allies isn't great, but your enemies are aggressive and your allies are helpful. The game does have a few significant flaws that prevent it from reaching its true potential, including poor hit detection and disappointing special effects, but offers something new in a crowded genre.
What's great about it: Upgrading weapons, last two missions give you a real sense of freedom
What's not so great: Poor hit detection, explosions and special effects aren't great

Review 10 for Medal of Honor: Airborne: Xbox 360
Great World War 2 FPS
Customer Rating
4.0
This is the 11th installment of Medal of Honor Franchise. EA has done it again as far as First Person Shooters go. The only problem with the game is that it only has seven levels but they can be long. You can get Weapons Upgrades where you can turn a Thompson into a real Tommy Gun with Drum Magazine. Great Game !!
What's great about it: Upgrades for Weapon, Graphics are great
What's not so great: It is short but battles the 7 levels make it long.

Review 11 for Medal of Honor: Airborne: Xbox 360
WWII FPS at its BEST

First off, if you are a casual gamer who loves WWII FPS's, then this is the game for you. This is the 4th installment of MoH I have now and it is most certainly the best.
The graphics are by far the best I've seen. It felt like i was using a HD TV.
Some of the mechanics return from MoH: European Assault like the Iron Sight Lean, which allows you to lean around/above/below cover to fire at enemies. But there is also some new, like the crouch-sprint. If you are in a crouched position, hold sprint and you will sprint, but much lower than if you were standing up, and at the same speed.
The sound is also amazing. And its not just the musical score, which they bring back a few old tunes that owners of MoH: Frontline will recognize. But the sound effects of bullets whizzing past, or hitting nearby, and what I like especially are the effects of your character walking around. How many WWII games do you walk around on rubble or in a broken building and still hear that same old "thump thump thump" of your footstep? In MoH: Airborne you can hear the rubble crumbling underneath your feet, or the mushing of the dirt/grass.
That leads me into the Enemy A.I. Even on casual, enemy A.I. is superb. The sound of crunching rubble beneath your feet can either give away your posiition to enemies, or give away their position to you. Also, If you take out a bunch of enemies but sit and hold position, they will either A)multiply and continue assaulting you B) flank you C) both. More often than not its both.
The upgradeable weapons, some say is unrealistic. How? You mean to tell me that no American soldiers used a 50 clip for their Thompson? And no Germans added a scope to their MP44 Sturmgewer? Please. There is no way anywon can fully upgrade all the available weapons (three upgrades per) in one playing of the game, so that adds to replayability. You may have beaten the game while upgrading your M1 Gerand, Thompson and BAR, but what about the shotgun, German Kar98, or MP40? Its a mouch tougher challenge playing the game with these weapons in order to upgrade them...ESPECIALLY the bolt action Kar98, make sure you fire from behind cover while using that one.
The online play isn't so hot. I'm sure it would be fine, but everyone is off playing Halo3 and CoD4, so its hard finding a match with more then 5 people.

What's great about it: Graphics, Musical Score, Action, Enemy AI, Upgradeable Weapons, Tough Gameplay.
What's not so great: Short Story.

This game is just average. One would think it would be amazingly cool with its whole new look and jumping out of a plane and you control your destiny from that point, but its not that amazing. One thing that is not very realistic is the fact you can upgrade your weapons. Another thing that is not realistic is that when you progress throughout the game, you face harder and harder people who raise in level from 1 - 10. One the last level you have to face a bunch of soldiers who are "tens" and they can take so many bullets its like they are not even human. Its like bringing back an aspect to some of those games who have a "boss" at the end of the level or end of the game. Anyway this game is cool--for a while, and i would not recommend paying the listed price for this game.
What's great about it: A whole new look to the game with the parachuting
What's not so great: Gets boring suprisingly quick, some parts not very realistic
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I only give it a 4 because I am a fan. If this was my first time playing it, it would've been a 5/5. Hardcore fans probably give it a 3 hence its not that different from previous MoH game.
What's great about it: Fun to play, amazing settings.
What's not so great: Same old MoH game play. Nothing too new.

This is a great game with awesome graphics. Sometimes jerky shooting and confusing maps are about the only thing that keeps it from getting a 5 star rating from me. Love how you can earn modifications for weapons. And landing can be a bit tricky at times. Great game.

Medal of Honor Airborne is one of the best WWII games I have ever played. The gameplay and graphics are outstanding. The only thing is it is kind of hard on the normal setting. If you are not a veteran of the Medal of Honor games then you will need to play it on the easy setting. Other then that it is an awesome game.

Definitely one of the best WWII shooters for the Xbox 360! The single player campaign mode is considerably short like most shooter games are. Unless you plan on playing a lot of multiplayer I suggest only renting this game. Many complain about the automatic weapon recoil and inability to hit your target. As you use these weapons they are awarded upgrades like a recoil reducer which will help with the precision of your shots. Rent or Buy...either way you won't be disappointed!
What's great about it: Sounds and environment are realistic, Good Multiplayer
What's not so great: Single player campaign is short
