Medal Of Honor Xbox 360 Review - NowGamer

NowGamer reviews Medal Of Honor on Xbox 360 - "Unlike games that live or die by their standout moments, Medal Of Honor is unique in that we have never actually come across anything of such categorically divided quality. Where, occasionally, sub-standard offerings have one or two pieces of memorable gameplay bric-a-brac, we can’t remember the last time whole sections are of such disparately high quality from the rest, they feel like playing a different game entirely"

Seems like NowGamers PS3 reviewer was more fond of it. He gave it an 8.6/10.

@enkeixpress - Actually, I've seen lots of 8's and some 9's as well.

Remember, Xbox Gamers have high standards

/s

BloodyNapkin4942d ago

I have yet to see a single 9. And this is more along the lines i thought it would score in my eyes.

MGRogue20174942d ago (Edited 4942d ago )

The game is getting mostly 6s from various reviewers..

Hmmm, I'm starting to ponder on whether I should get this on day one or not.. (UK)

:(

HOSe4942d ago

wow ign gave it a straight 6.0

Ashriel4942d ago

wow, and the same game got 8.6, but because it's the ps3 version.

nowgamer needs to change their multiplatform review system, it's really misleading.

Rampaged Death4942d ago

Totally agree. They should just review a game on the one platform. Does MOH Frontline make that big a difference ? It shouldn't really.

jimmins4942d ago

I agree with you to a certain extent, having both versions in our hands, I can honestly tell you that the PS3 version - being the lead development platform - doesn't suffer a lot of the same problems as the Xbox version does.

In this case, the two disparate scores represent not a discordance of opinion between two reviewers, but a genuine chasm of quality between the two versions of the game.

The alternative to not scoring those separately is that reviews which claim to be multiformat and give it eights or nines (Eurogamer etc.) no doubt reviewed it on the PS3, but failed to say so. On the other hand, those who reviewed it on 360 (NowGamer, 360 Magazine, IGN) reported all the same problems. In fact, if you read the NowGamer review and the IGN one, it's startling how similar their complaints are.

A review which claims to be multiformat, simply cannot point out the obvious differences between the two versions and for that reason, I say NowGamer's system wins. There you have two reviews, both of which scored as accurately as possible, but making it clear that one's great and the other ... not so much.

SuperStrokey11234942d ago

Im a bit confused, are the two versions that drastically different?

SuperStrokey11234942d ago

I understand that but there should be at least some kind of relationship there as "professionals". There needs to be some kind of impartial yard stick that they are comparing each against to determine values (although how would you even devise such a thing?). This is why scoring on reviews kinda sucks... wait for some word of mouth on this one i guess.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger882d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH17h ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan15h ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus497d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled497d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_92497d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000497d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex497d ago (Edited 497d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH496d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad497d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.
