Medal Of Honor goes mobile

Medal Of Honor goes mobile

Right, we're fatigued. Indeed, if this flood of military mobile games on, we might just have to invalid ourselves out of this reviewing lark. Can't people make more games where we just love each other? Apart from Porn Manager, obviously...

In a crowded market, EA Mobile's Medal Of Honor certainly has a big enough brand to create attention. Based on the console games of the same name, it's an attempt to bring World War II yomping to phones.

Instead of commanding a squad, you play a lone soldier operating behind enemy lines, with the job of turning up secret info on the Germans' V2 rocket and the nefarious scientists behind it (note: ALL military scientists are by definition nefarious if they're on The Other Side).

Oh, and you also have to get into a top-secret rocket base and sabotage the launch of the latest V2, as well.

What this adds up to looks less like the military games we've seen recently (Call Of Duty 3, Company Of Heroes, Brothers In Arms), and more like side-scrolling action adventure games such as Gameloft's Splinter Cell Double Agent.

Medal Of Honor is on operator portals now. Click 'Track It!' for a brisk reminder when you're able to READ OUR REVIEW YOU LAZY LITTLE MAGGOT! AND POLISH THOSE BOOTS!
