Medal of Honor takes on a realistic approach to war and soldiers. The games takes a squad in the war on terror. This squad gets in the middle of terrorism and the taliban. With this game they are trying to tell a soldiers side to the story without over the top action or fancy futuristic weapons or gadgets. In this game you also get to view the story from different perspectives from the squad you get to follow around.

The Bad:
The story is extremely linear. It makes no effort to make the player take different approaches or exploration. It makes every gun fight a straight up shooting gallery and keeps you shooting until the enemy or the player is down.
The gameplay doesn't really make it stand out. Even though it takes a realistic approach, there isn't a whole lot that makes this very unique compared to other shooters. It doesn't really stand out for those that hoped this games was something very different.
Even though the multiplayer has some interesting modes. It doesn't really set itself apart from other shooters with progression modes or different styles of playing the multiplayer.

The Good:
The story is really good. It has a really emotional ending that doesn't come out of nowhere, but is built through the game with having stackes in the characters through the game's story. It doesn't have anything over the top, but it makes it more realistic.
The audio is great and doesn't really do a whole lot wrong. It gets the job done in the end of the day.
The voice acting is good, and makes the characters believable. It gives them more life, and it's great to see not only jumping from one scene to the next without any context.
The graphics still look good on the consoles. It doesn't have any framedrops and has a really realistic look. And makes it a more down to earth game without the over the top action sequences
The multiplayer has some interesting modes and tries to differ itself from others. It does have some lasting appeal.

Overall:
It's a good shooter to at least have a look at and try for the story and also try some of the multiplayer. But compared to others only some that are in the shooter genre might want to try this out and it doesn't really stand out to others. It has a realistic story and tries to tell a good story from a soldiers view.
