![]() ![]() ![]() This is exactly what Medal of Honor is about and most other FPS games for that matter. Cops and Robbers isn’t about encouraging children to put on a balaclava and rob a jewellery store, it’s about chasing the bad guy and bringing him to justice. you don’t even have to be a gamer to understand this concept, I’m sure most people have played a game of cops and robbers at some point of another (I know I’m not the only one to use that analagy, but that’s because it fits so well). Anyone who’s ever played a shooting game should surely understand this, you have the Allies and the Axis, the good guys and the bad guys, that’s just the way the game is played. In most games someone needs to play the enemy (and this game makes sure you’re aware the Taliban are indeed the enemy). The multiplayer gameplay does have two sides to play on and one of them is The Taliban (aka OPFOR), but this is not encouraging people to sign up to jihad. The bravery and camaraderie of the armed forces is portrayed in a responsible and respectful manner. I’m pretty sure those that actually play the game through will agree with me that there is not one part of this game that offers any disservice towards the military in any way. By the end of this title I was practically ready to sign up to the US armed forces – and I’m not even an American citizen! This is why before I get into my review of the game, I wanted to address the controversy around its release. I’m a big fan of first person shooters and I’ve never played a game that felt so true to life. ![]() The game instills a sense of patriotism in the player, and pride towards the servicemen who are awarded the Medal of Honor for “outstanding courage, conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty…”. But let’s not forget that the Medal of Honor is also the most prestigious medal awarded to US servicemen for valour and honour (or valor and honor if you’re American!) – and that’s exactly what this game is all about. Medal of Honor is one of the most anticipated (and possibly most controversial) games to be released this year. Available on: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC (Reviewed on Xbox 360) ![]()
