I've waited a long time for a decent WWII FPS on a portable system. Having tried Medal of honor: underground on the Gameboy advance and Call of Duty on the N-gage both of which where virtually unplayable.
Then along comes the PSP with the power to actually pull it off but it still takes more than a year from its release before we see a WWII FPS, It was worth the wait. MOH:H is an excellent game.
Despite the PSP's somewhat awkward controls. MOH:H makes good use of them and has four different control profiles to choose from and features a very full array of features such as leaning, melee, sprinting, cooking grenades, iron sights (looking down the sights... . There are plenty of weapons to choose from all are very accurately portrayed.
It features the usual campaign story mode plus a very neat Skirmish mode where you play Death match in any of the many unlocked maps against AI enemies (very fun) and multiplayer via wi-fi or internet with up to 32 players!
The few things I didn't like:
Other than the menu screen there is none of the original orchestrated music from the earlier MOH series.
The AI (enemy and friendly) can be annoying at times, Your own men will often stand right in front of where you are shooting or even throw a grenade at your position. The Enemies often run back and forth like they have some sort of dementia.
Although there are plenty of Swastikas in the Menus the ones in the game have been replaced with iron crosses (on the tail of aircraft and on banners etc.) Was this an attempt to make the game more PC?
Despite these minor gripes overall this is a great game. A must for WWII portable gamers.
