Review: Medal Of Honor Warfighter

G'day folks!

Now well known amongst the game community for its sublime realism, Medal of Honor has graced our consoles with a return to the franchise with MOH Warfighter, a sequel to the self named title of 2010.
Heading straight into it to what everyone is talking about, the new in-game engine of graphics, courtesy of Frostbite 2. I have no words for this utterly, utterly fantastic move. I spent more than 5 minutes into the Cinematic trying to determine if it was real or fake, it is literally that good. Obviously it is fake, but the graphics, weather, lighting and so on look so utterly real, it's quite easy to get lost from reality and be sucked into this game.
Sound effect and musical score is also a big plus in a large budget game such as this. Voice acting is once more, great, but seems lacking in specific areas. While the acting is by no doubt great, it seemed they lacked the depth of emotion in the voice. Whether this was done on purpose, as most soldiers are trained to be emotionless killers, this remains to be seen.
The campaign is definitely much longer than anticipated: with many plot twists and turns, different areas to travel to and new information to take in, the game will definitely keep you on your toes.
Multiplayer has been greatly improved since the demo a few weeks back. Lag is definitely not an issue, maps are extremely level and even headed and players can join friends quite quickly, with little to no loading time.

There isn't much more to say about this game, despite its shocking take and sales record. The 14th chapture in the long series is definitely worth a look. With easy achievements to be had, a great multiplayer to enjoy with your friends and utterly jaw dropping visuals, I would extremely recommend this game.
Out of 10, I give MOH Warfighter an 9.5/10

Good Points
+ Amazing graphics
+ Musical score/sound effects quite brilliant
+ Storyline is extremely solid
+ Multiplayer is fantastic and simple

Bad Points
- High graphics does tend to stop cinematics in the middle of viewing
- Customisation limits to guns, nothing for characters

MOH Warfighter is out now for $88
