The Medal of Honor franchise is still going strong, with the latest instalment, Medal of Honor Airborne, out this September for the PC.

Fans of the earlier Medals of Honor games will find themselves on familiar territory, but does the game have enough new developments to offer to keep it fresh?

Medal of Honor Airborne review for the PC
The Medal Of Honor franchise has now lasted almost as long as World War II itself, eking numerous games out of the conflict on a slew of different platforms. The PC is still its natural home though, and the original Allied Assault was widely hailed as a masterpiece. Follow-up Pacific Assault is rarely accorded the same accolade, so the honour falls to ‘difficult third album' Airborne to get the war effort back on track.

As the name suggests, it does of course involve the utter madness of launching yourself out of an aeroplane over enemy territory with little more than an oversized duvet cover strapped to your back. As well as making for a dramatic entrance, this also opens up a plethora of opportunities as regards gameplay. Instead of starting each mission where the designers want you to, you begin at the point where you manage to land, steering your parachute towards a prime spot, or not.

Safe zones are marked by green smoke, and will generally contain a surfeit of health, ammo, and hopefully a bunch of your fellow soldiers. From there you can carefully pick off the various objectives in a strategic manner, working your way round the map as carefully as possible.
