IGN
Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is already a better overall effort than last year, though it adds in a ton of event gameplay and diversity in exchange for a relatively short single player campaign, and relies heavily on its online offerings.

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is something that's a bit rare on the PSP, an enjoyable first-person shooter.

Short but satisfying, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is an action-packed first-person shooter that handles it’s well enough on the PSP. Its few shortcomings are very noticeable but easily forgivable thanks to the solid controls, good campaign and excellent online multiplayer.

There’s a lot of intense moments in the single player campaign and the multiplayer supports 32 players. The PSP doesn’t have a lot of good FPS in its catalogue but Heroes 2 follows the same pattern of quality shown by the original title. [Dec 2007]

Medal of Honor 2: Heroes doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. However, like any good sequel it keeps what worked in the original and improves on much of what was wrong.

If you want to take on the Germans once again on your PSP then Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is a good choice.

So simple that it's actually a bit limited, despite a substantial multiplayer offer. [Christmas 2007, p.123]

Those after a single-player experience will see all the game has to offer in a day, while online gamers will find themselves coming back to Heroes 2 for some time.

Games Radar (in-house)
If you dig that sort of thing, Heroes 2 offers plenty of challenge, level variety and enough Nazi shooting to satisfy anyone who can deal with the controls of an FPS on a PSP. And if you don't like them, this isn't going to be the game that converts you.

Though it's hardly sufficient to make you forsake home console warfare for handheld ops, and the dollars-per-hour ratio would give any gamer pause, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 boasts enough polish and design acumen to be worth an expensive few days on the front lines for those who simply want another WW2 shooter experience.

The solid single-player campaign is over in the blink of an eye, but a strong online component makes Medal of Honor Heroes 2 worth a look for anyone who enjoyed the previous game.

In the unlikely case that you're a complete newcomer to WWII shooters, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is well worth a look. However, it doesn't add anything to the series besides another reliably decent episode and a generous multiplayer game.

Stupid and, frankly, it's pretty good fun. [Jan 2008, p.113]

PSM3 Magazine UK
This is an action game with lots to get your teeth into, but you always feel reigned back by the fiddly controls. [Jan 2008, p.80]

Worth Playing
Playing an FPS on the PSP for the first time was a mix of fun action and occasional frustration, not only because of the controls, but because Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 offers a remarkably basic experience that hearkens back to the early days of shooters.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is just too little, too late, and released at the worst time imaginable. It is a game that was quite frankly doomed to be forgotten.

The cramped controls, three hour campaign and an aged online component detract from an otherwise polished experience.

It's not that the game is terrible -- heck, it's not even bad -- it's just that it fails to do anything to claw its way out of mediocrity.

Graphics and sound alone can't save sub-par gameplay, however, and even the most staunch WWII shooter fan won't find much to enjoy with Heroes 2.

We suppose if you’re really into your WW2 shooters and unlike everyone else in the world has yet to tire of the setting then it’s possible that you’ll get some joy out of it. Everyone else need not apply.

This game is cleaner"polished" if you will, howver the game play is alot slower, the weapons have completly been revised to shoot more real, the M1 Garand is like the old shotgun 2 shots you're dead, I love the first, the second will take me some time to adjust too. If you like graphics and realizem try this game out, if you love game play all or nothing choas then stick with the first edition. 6 out of 10 for me due to the major differance between the games, the fact they (EA) had to reinvent the wheel, and there are already hakers in the game of which EA won't do anything about.

spok22 somethin' gave it an8:
First off let me say that this is definetely the best fps on the psp. It is an improvement from the first one. The graphics are pretty good. Also the sound is awesome. You can hear every clink as your grenade hits the ground. I have not tried out multiplayer yet but from wut i hear it is really good. The only dissapointment i had from this game is that there is no skirmish. Also i was hoping for some new guns. Another thing was that the enviroments were a little bit bland and could use a little bit of more detail. Other than that this game is pretty good and a descent follow up to heroes.

Tony W. gave it a10:
