We've been invited to check out Medal of Honor: Airborne time and time again. This latest visit, though, put us in touch with a brand new level that really showcased what separates the game from its competition. Based on an actual German construction, the Flakt%26uuml;rme, orFlak Tower- a massive gun-emplaced tower designed to defend against air strikes on key cities.
Where does this leave you? Parachuting down, of course, past a massive concrete tower that's crawling with Nazi soldiers (of course). Then, we presume,you have to make your way back up. We presume that because the guy who played the demo couldn't really manage to take more than a few steps before getting capped.
We were left with the overwhelming sense of getting into more than we could get out of. As it's the last mission of the game, the developers have worked hard to make it the best. We didn't see enough of it to make our own value judgment about its quality, but the sheer scale of things was impressive. If Airborne can actually achieve what it has set out to do - bring the real chaos of battle to WWII - this game will be the first in a long time in the series to deserve the hype it's generating.
