PSP - Medal of Honor HEROES

The medal of honor series is a legend among world war two action simulators. I've loved playing it on the PC. The original MOH - and the expansions - spearhead and breakthrough have given me many hours of fun - hell weeks of fun if I'm going to be honest. Using a mouse and the keyboard on the PC was easy to use.

I was worried that converting the game to the PSP would be a tough ask. Medal of Honor HEROES for the PSP is graphically nice but I found the interface very hard to use. Aiming is difficult and I had to enter the options and change the way the controllers are set up to play the game. I found it was easiest to use the thumb controller to aim the gun site. That said once your used to the controls you can have a good game.

Though personally I don't think it comes close to the experience on the PC. The game loses some of that being their feel on the small screen - whereas a PC with a large screen and surround sound with the sub woofer blasting out the shoots and explosions really immerse you into the game.

That said, if you a fan of the series and want more the PSP game gives a new series of missions to complete in Italy, Holland and Belgium - some of the more forgotten battles and arenas of the war.

On the PSP the game is very fast paced and the battle areas seem smaller than the on the PC. As the game is no longer a new release you can pick it up in a store like Big W for $25 AUD - which is about as cheap as PSP games get unless you pick up a bargain bid on ebay.
