Become a Paratrooper and see how the War is also won from the sky.
One of the best sagas that has ever been available for both computers as well as video game consoles is, without doubt, the one formed by the
Medal of Honor games. First launched in 1999, it set the basis on which many current
Second World War games are based, one of the conflict that has been recreated more times in video games. In
Medal of Honor: Airborne we will
fight in Europe once more, but this time we will play the role of paratroopers.
One of the best things about this saga has always been its
settings and the
incredible quality and originality of the stories and recreations that can be played, that is why the focus from the point of view of the paratrooper
Boyd Travers has had such success. Fighting in the allied forces as a member of the US 82nd Airborne Division, the soldier that we play has to manage to
complete his mission and stay alive. This time round, we won't start in a base, the vast majority of the missions will start in the air, something that is a very important disadvantage.
To counteract the
hordes of Germans that will try to kill us we will have a full arsenal of weapons available, all of them rather
real recreations of the original weapons, that we will have to use at our own discretion. But be careful, we won't be able to carry all of them, so we will have to choose wisely.
One of the sagas strong points, and the same happens with
Medal of Honor: Airborne, has always its
graphic and sound quality, even though nowadays it has been beat by latter installments, the truth is that this game marked, when launched, a technical milestone.
Note: This
demo allows a single player to play Operation Husky, where you will have to eliminate the German opposition with the help of a group of Allied soldiers.
