Where the best location is depends on how you want to play the game, a mechanic that certainly is useful if you want a challenge or find that it's more fun to start out in a certain place on a map. Once floating in the air, it's a matter of steering the parachute to the best location to start the fight. Instead of starting players out in each linear level on a path where there's no variation, EA LA decided to let us choose where to start each mission by throwing us out of a plane. Medal of Honor: Airborne takes a different approach to World War II shooters.
Still, it's a good game overall and the best game in the franchise in some time. While there's definitely some good entertainment value here, the campaign is short, and the multiplayer isn't incredibly deep. After a long line of disappointing games in the Medal of Honor franchise that just never could recapture the magic successes of Allied Assault, we finally get Medal of Honor: Airborne that combines high presentation values and good, fast-paced fun.
