  The Demo Is Awesome

  by DylS123 on August 28, 2007

  Pros: Great graphics, Really good sound, Vertical gameplay, And you parachute before each mission!

  Cons: Stupid AI (I will talk about it in the review), Demo was a little short

  Summary: What I have to say about the Xbox 360 demo of this game is that it is awesome. The graphics and sound are amazing and you can get weapon upgrades throughout the demo. I love parachuting before the mission and I have actually played the demo about ten times and there are different battle lines and ways to do the objectives each time. Best bet is too land on the roofs.
  
  What I was saying about the AI is that it isn't that great...BUT the soldiers you face in the demo are the Italian Blackshirts and they were meant to be the easiest enemy in the game. AI will get better when the enemies get better.
  
  This demo is definitely worth downloading and you will love it.

  CoD still rules

  by afroloq on September 6, 2007

  Pros: Non linear approach, more than one way to approach an objective adds some replayability

  Cons: Cheap AI, aiming is not what it could be even with power ups

  Summary: Whew....I played the first 2 levels of MoH: Airborne and I must say, those were the 2 longest hr's of my life. So, EA is stepping into the shoes where Call of Duty has gone so far and so well on the 360 and I must say that my impressions are mixed.
  
  i will keep this brief because most reviews have touched on a lot of key points of the game
  
  1. Graphics - I don't think they are as good as CoD but still as with any other WWII game you know you are in a fight. But it's at the point now after seeing games like Gears of War and Stranglehold one has to wonder when will there be more destructable environments? I mean come on...we are 2 years into the next gen and there should not be so many static objects!!
  
  2. As good as any WWII shooter can be...on a decent set up it sounds like there is complete chaos going on around you. Still tho with large explosions, my subwoofer could use a lil more of a workout.
  
  3. Controls - handles pretty well altho I wonder why there is no prone feature.
  
  4. Game design is very innovative. Having the freedom to drop into a zone as opposed to making a linear run from point A to point B increases the amount of thought you have to put into finishing an objective. Pay attention to your briefings because they are no joke. Think you are going to land near your objactive and finish it right away? WRONG. I tried that twice and had my butt handed to me as soon as I landed and I do mean getting beaten and shot at before I could raise my weapons. This idea is a refreshing way to play because you won't complete any one level the same way...also it gives you ways to startegically plan an attack? Having a hard time mounting a frontal assault? Try looking for the back door or try taking the roof...there are more ways than one to take out the enemy. The AI is pretty sharp and they will find ways to take you out and sometimes it seems cheap too but again you won't Rambo thru this game. The power ups are cool but so far I have yet to really see where it makes a difference.
  
  My only minuses so far are these:
  
  There are times when you seem to feel like you are completely on your own, this could be a good thing or a bad thing depending...and sometimes when you are fighting with others some of those jokers will step right in front of your aim.
  
  When shooting an enemy, sometimes it seems like you have to empty 1/2 a clip just to kill one soldier...again...this is next gen guys, if I shoot a guy in the arm he should be hurt...leg make him limp..head...he should not get up ever again...but on this game they do...
  
  Just when you think you are done, there is more....this could be a plus or a minus depending on who you are talking to...but as soon as you are done one laundry list of objectives, a new list may pop up tacking on another 1/2 an hr of the level....this could work as this game is rumored to be rather brief.
  
  
  All in all this game so far is cool, Call of Duty definently has the crown in WWII shooters and it's almost sad that this year's iteration won't be from that era but that may be a good thing, but if you like WII shooters and need somethig a lot less linear, MoH is worth a look.
