Zero Punctuation takes on Medal of Honor and America

by Alexander Sliwinski on Oct 31st 2007 8:15PM

If you're an American and have absolutely no idea how the rest of the world views us, then you'll be getting a rude awakening in the Zero Punctuation review of Medal of Honor Airborne (found after the break). In the latest ZP review Yahtzee tangents quite strongly into some anti-American sentiment (a term used for people against war) before getting around to the game, which he considers to be overly patriotic (skewing Americans, as the Brits seem to be missing). As the Medal of Honor series digs for more material it seems to have gotten progressively historically inaccurate. Yahtzee wasn't too cool with the accuracy of the gas mask stormtroopers and says, "I wouldn't have been too phased if Hitler appeared riding a giant robot spider."

btw its interesting to look at the uk. theres a different kind of patriotism going on there. they are on the verge of splitting on..the union falling apart in slow motion. i'm not sure what example that sets.

Can you imagine if an American made such a snide review of a video game condemning an entire culture and a country of 300 million based on one video game? A foreign accent does not make witty commentary make. You can find the caricatures and stereotypes of Americans utilized going back almost 30 years now, if not longer.
