Medal of Valour... way to short

[Allaloneatron]

I got all the way though this in one session last night. Only three main missions. The cut scenes had such bad voice acting I had to cover my ears and sing so I couldn’t hear it.

Afterwards I looked for the multiplayer but couldn't find it anywhere.

Worst FPS ever!

I don't know whether this is a witty review of the film "Act of Valour" or a review of the game "Medal of Honour" that is in the wrong forum?

haha, my balls up there. I watched the whole thing thinking it was called Medal of Valour.

Fair enough, not a fan then?

Way to short what?

[SWoll]

Exactly, I don't know the way to short either. Perhaps Google Maps could help?

[Allaloneatron]

Yep, huge title fail.

Come on then, I actually quite liked the look of the trailer to this and the action sequences looked pretty impressive, although the acting did look rather wooden (probably due to non of them being proper 'actors')

Worth a watch or utter ste?

Had a look on IMDB and the studio must be very pleased with it. $12,000,000 budget and already done $60,000,000 at the box office in it's first 4 weeks on release.

So did the OP 'watch' or 'play' it?

I fancy watching the film, I fear there will be a lot of flag waiving and typical American in-the-box thinking, but you'd expect more from Navy SEALs.

Either your a long time reader of "Aint it cool news" and your review is a tribute or you just got lucky:-

-This is the worst video game I’ve ever played. It was mostly cut-scenes involving bad actors and I had no control over the movement of my motorcycle. Total washout.

It seems I just got lucky.

It’s basically a very short FPS game with bad cut scenes and you can’t control the characters (the "aim down sights" camera view was designed to make it feel this way I guess). Some of the action was good, but there was not enough of it. The gun boats made me want to sign up and become a US Marine/SEAL on the spot, however but I didn't see any application forms so I won’t bother now.

I didn't see the point of using real SEALs. You didn’t get to know them or like them, and even though you know they have been through it in real life, they didn't portray it in their faces or body language. Add to this final Act of Valour is about as old and clichéd as it gets. So not great, but some good real tracer fire, FPS Russia style.
