    Hi
    Just wondering if anyone bought this as it is out already. Is it good? Is it worth to buy? Cant really decide which one to get cod:black ops or this one.
    Anyone?

    Have to admit the Tier 1 edition MoH Frontline getting included with the new MoH game is tempting.

    I thought Frontline was one of the best in the MoH series on PS2, now with the HD overhaul this could be fun on the PS3 - I'd expect it to be superior than CoD Classic which was available on the special edition MW2's.

    As for the new game itself, I've heard mixed reviews, a lot of online gameplay but 2 possible Plats in one box always perks my attention!

    Eurogamer are getting real sloppy with their reviews. That reads like they hated it with nothing really good to say but somehow slapped an 8/10 on it. I don't trust them anyway since the Mafia 2 review but we'll wait and see what other scores come out. This willl be worth a purchase anyway.

    Possibly an "Exclusive"with a guaranteed high marking review " it's not uncommon with games industry mags these days?

    They seem to be the first with the review alright, although they never struck me as a crowd which could have their scores bought. Most of the time it reads like the reviewer only played the first level, or doesn't even have an interest in the genre he's reviewing. The MOH review reads bizzarely, picking holes in the game before suddenly coming out with an 8/10.

    You could say similar about their Castlevania review too, it read like a 9/10 review but again got 8/10
    As much as I love to start reading a review then skip to the score before I even finish the first paragraph, I just don't feel like I should be doing that with EG any more...

    I read the whole review before checking the score, but with this one it was like "this is going to be bad". He started picking holes in it from the first few paragraphs and only really skimmed over the SP aspect of it, so I was pretty surprised to see an 8/10 considering his article read like he didn't enjoy it a bit. Its getting harder to tell from their reviews if the score is justified.

    P.S: Was there not an embargo until 2pm today on reviews of this?

    I'll wait and see what Gametrailers give it, although at 4 hours for the single player, i highly doubt i'll get it.

    It is out today all over Europe, so it should be out here too.

    MOH had a huge section set out for it at the Eurogamer Expo, so it's not too surprising that it was given a high grade, especially if Eurogamer are planning on showing other EA stuff at future Expos.

    Tbh it's the multiplayer that will be the main reason to buy MOH. The fact that DICE worked on the multiplayer is the main reason i'll buy it anyway.

    I wish someone would concentrate solely on the single player for once, this constant multiplayer overkill is getting boring. Just read there some people have finished MOH on Hard in 3.5 hours. That's taken it off my purchase list for sure. Rental perhaps.

    I'll take a wander into Xtravision after work anyway and see what the sceal is. Doubt it but it'd be a nice surprise if it were out.

    Mine is currently in the post, should get it tomorrow.

    Review up on kotaku now http://kotaku.com/5659329/review-medal-of-honor
    I was surprised to find just how quickly I made my way through the game's campaign, wrapping it up in a tidy five hours or so. But in retrospect I realized that there wasn't a scene I would cut, a level that annoyed me, or any backtracking to speak of. This is a fat-free experience. It's pure engagement packed with spikes of cleverly crafted crescendos.

    I don't think there is a market for a FPS military shooter without multiplayer.
    I get what you're saying though but the 2 CoD Modern Warfare we're light on SP too.

    Its out the 15th here.

    Single player game is about 6 hours long but awesome. Font lines makes it worth the money. Online is a cross between MW2 and battle field.

    A review read like it was ONE POINT off the actual score? That doesn't seem like reason to complain, at all. :confused:
