  1. The best shooter available for the PSP and the multiplayer makes it even more appealing.
  2. Medal of Honor: Heroes delivers a lackluster WW2 experience on the PSP platform. It's got boring combat and some dull missions, but the multiplayer is definitely worth a try if you love online gaming on your PSP.
  3. 84
    It retains the intensity of WWII firefights while streamlining the whole experience for mobile audiences. It loses a little bit of depth in the process, but what it lacks in complexity it makes up in rewarding action and classy presentation.
  4. Even though it's not quite a stunner, Heroes is an engaging and interesting addition to the PSP's expanding library.
  5. No objectives, no friendly troops wandering into your line of sight, just furious man-maiming gameplay. Sweet. [Christmas 2006, p.88]
  6. Despite some ugly flaws, however, Medal of Honor Heroes manages to fulfill the PSP's promise of delivering a console-level experience in a portable medium. [Dec. 2006, p.132]
  7. 80
    Easily one of the best portable remakes on the PSP. The single player game is entertaining, and the multiplayer options are remarkable.
  8. Medal of Honor Heroes proves that a good, albeit extremely short, first-person shooter can be done on the PSP.
  9. A solid if not heavily flawed title with the best online capabilities of any PSP title to date. So if you can get past the controls and the pacing this might be an ok purchase for you.
  10. 72
    The multiplayer outweighs the single-player but having to look up and down with the face buttons means that you'll never be the crack-shot you can be with a second analogue stick. [Issue #147, p.78]
  11. Despite its faults, Heroes makes a decent showcase for PlayStation Portable's power and does justice to the Medal Of Honor series. [Jan 2007, p.95]
  12. There's not much longevity there, but it's a good ride while it lasts. The gigantor multiplayer matches should keep you and your friends emptying clips for a good while though, and that's exactly how it should be.
  13. The single-player game is enjoyable but disappointingly short-lived. Thankfully, the impressive multiplayer options improve things considerably.
  14. Plus, the game looks and sounds solid, and has quick loads and 32-player online play. [Holiday 2006, p.83]
  15. It's a perfectly serviceable war shooter offline, and turns into a strong SOCOM rival when you're gunning with 31 other players, which is just the sort of action the PSP has been missing.
  16. 70
    Keep your expectations in check and you'll find it succeeds in being a decent facsimile of the PS2 games. Just don't be expecting much in the way of sweaty palms or a rapid heartbeat.
  17. It's a retread of familiar territory in every way, such that a game like this five years ago would have had me reeling, but now leaves me feeling flat.
  18. 65
    Heroes is easily the worst MOH game yet, and yes that includes the PlayStation versions that came out over half a decade ago.
  19. If you've got perfect eyesight and a lover's touch on the action buttons there's plenty to get stuck into, particularly the accomplished multi-player mode. If not, then we suggest you stick to PS2. [Christmas 2006, p.101]
  20. If you want a handheld shooter to play online (an MP-PSP-FPS, if you will) then this is a good choice. PSP controls are never going to be perfect, but they aren't terrible here. If you want a single player game do not touch this with a barge pole, it's uninspired, boring and unbelievably dated.
  21. Single-player is pitiful and multiplayer is substantial. A cautious thumbs-up then, but in a strange, bi-polar way - and only for keen fans of multiplayer shooters.
  22. 60
    MOH: Heroes falls prey to a bastardized control like almost all PSP first person titles.
  23. The PSP isn't exactly overwhelmed with decent multiplayer FPSs, and while imperfect, Heroes does offer a much-needed online fragfest.
  24. Without PS2's power, MoH is tiresome and dull. [Christmas 2006, p.98]

  1. Even now, when all the online servers are off, it is still a wonderful game. You can play with 15 bots on any multiplayer map. Also, a singleplayer is a nice addition, but it almost the same multiplayer. Full Review »
  2. The games was great! Even thought EA shutdown the servers! It just looked great! But if the multiplayer didn't shutdown then I would rate a 10. Anyways, the game has campaign, skimish, and multiplayer of course. Campaign is good but I liked the Call of Duty Roads to Victory campaign better. Skimish is like online multiplayer but computer control which Roads to Victory doesn't have as well as online multiplayer (which I told you got shutdown by ea). But I think Medal of Honor is better than Roads to Victory! Gameplay: 9.5 Sound: 8.2 Graphics: 8.6 Design: 9.5 Overall: 9.1 Full Review »
