Medal of Honor claims UK sales top spot; Just Dance 2 debuts in third

@golobulus Yes it was

@golobulus It got an 80 metacritic. That's pretty good, all things considered.

@golobulus

Damn straight it was! One of the best narrative driven games I have played in a LONNNNGGGG time.

Sad. No wonder developers don't take risks creating new ip's. Instead we're stuck with sequel, after sequel. Christ, where's the innovation, the imagination? Sad indeed.

@UnnXandros

im loving the MP as well its a good change i think.

also the SP seemed short because you kind of did the same thing the hole time. i understand it was all about the war we are in, but man is the terrain mesmerizing you cant really tell what level you are on.

@UnnXandros

I agree MOH is fun.
Both the SP and MP, glad to see it doing well.

@UnnXandros

My only issue with the SP imo, its that is lacking like an Elite (like in KZ2) or Veteran (CoD games), i found the Hard Mode extremely easy, died 10 times in the whole campain and unlocked almost every sp trophy but the ac130 and 5 kills with a granade.

I love the HUDless style btw

@UnnXandros

Same here. I am loving Medal of Honor. The reviewers dropped the ball on this one in my opinion.

@UnnXandros

Lamenting the difficulty, eh? I was kinda remiss that the game didn't have a couple of really hardcore battle segments, like what we've seen from the IP over the last few years. Constantly building you up for that last fight or two.

There is the Tier 1 mode that looks to step it up in difficulty, this may satisfy your craving.

@InjusticeJoker
Unique? I found it to be rather boring.

@InjusticeJoker

Medal of Honor is awesome. It feels extremely authentic and realistic as far as the way the squads move and communicate with one another as well as command. It is also based on a real operation. That alone trumps the "generics fps" argument right there in my book.

@InjusticeJoker The reviews for Castlevania have been all over the place.

@golfs4panzys

Honestly, the realistic communication is my favorite part of it so far.

@Misfit Toy

I hate to compare MoH to Modern Warfare but sometimes it''s inevitable particularly when someone mentions the communication. This is an area where I feel Medal of Honor falls down.

I'm not a military man, never have been and whereas some of the phrases they use make obvious sense there's just far too much of it. This gives the layman the feeling that, most of the time, they're just talking jibberish or randomly shouting words from the phonetic alphabet.. I also spend a lot of time thinking "Right....where exactly am I supposed to be going now?" because the communication leaves so much to be desired.

Combine that with poor voice casting and I find the whole thing to be very poor. Seriously, all the SEAL teams sound exactly the same to me and it's a big departure from the likeable, individual, characters of CoD 4 and 6.

I like Medal of Honor, I'm enjoying it, but this is a huge detractor for me and the lack of attention to detail stops it being the triple A game I'd been expecting and hoping for.

@Night Elve

I found the first half hour not that inspiring. It felt like a tame MW2 so it took a while to ramp into it. Now that I'm on Chapter 3 (I think) it has grown on me more.

People who are used to twitchy games like Halo or moreso with COD will have to adapt to the pace. Not as slow as Killzone though.

@Sam Fisher

I felt the same way for the first few games I played but once you learn the maps it feels a lot better. After you learn how to effectively utilize the cover and learn the kill zones of the maps it is awesome.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Read about the actual operation, it had an even more emotional ending... :(

@thecotanak ah where's the edit button?
I also need to mention that, I like Medal Of Honor. Single player is short but great, and the gameplay is so fun I think. Also mp is a fresh air after mw2. This is my opinion.
