Medal of Honour

For all gaming aficionados, ’Medal of Honour’ is not a new name. This first person shooter game is set in the background of World War II. The game debuted in 1999 for the Playstation console, rights reserved with Electronic Arts Los Angeles ñ the publisher. Medal of Honour's popularity resulted in various further developments including the next versions of the game and compatibility with different consoles other than PlayStation. Today, Medal of Honour is compatible with PC, MAC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation, 2, 3 and PSP, GameCube, Wii, Game Boy Advance as well as mobile. Characters are provided with clothing and gear prevalent during the WWII period. The warrior, Jimmy or James Steven Patterson, fights for the U.S. Special missions are assigned to the hero, which the player has to accomplish. The character has to be careful with papers, ammunitions and moves. As newer versions were introduced in the market, the focus of the game changed to front-line combat, completely scraping out the older concept.

Medal of Honor Frontline was given a cinematic touch for more real-life experience. The violence has elaborated animation, yet is extremely simple and bloodless. In Germany, Medal of Honour faced objections because of the sensitive issue of WWII and recurring depictions of swastika. Medal of Honour: Airborne is the latest version of the game.
