The one that got away is writing a prequel novel for all HMV pre-orders in the UK...
Whether or not a former SAS, and subsequently controversial author, is best served to write a novel on the experiences of a fictional US Marines Tier-1 Operators is debatable, but that’s exactly what’s happening as EA today announced that Chris Ryan is penning a novel that will serve as a prequel to the events told in the forthcoming Medal of Honor.
Ryan, who made SAS history with the longest escape and evasion by an SAS trooper or any other soldier covering 100 miles to make it to Syria, claimed:
“It is a real privilege to be involved in a game with such a heritage as Medal of Honor. Combining my experience as an SAS soldier in the Gulf War with missions from the videogame itself enabled me to create an authentic and respectful account of an elite soldier fighting in Afghanistan for Medal of Honor: The Book.
“Bringing together the disciplines of literature and videogames has been a new but compelling experience for me as a writer, resulting in what is hopefully an engaging read for fans of videogames and novels alike.”
Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor, said: “Medal of Honor is an authentic look into today’s war. Inspired by real people and real events, the game puts players in the boots of today’s warrior – from infantry ground pounder to the Tier 1 Operator.
“I’m excited to see Medal of Honor being represented in literary form.”
Something tells us the average MoH player won’t be too fussed about this one, but perhaps it might put the game into some perspective for a concerned, conservative UK government.
Medal of Honor: The Book will be included with all pre-orders exclusively at HMV stores nationwide and online in the UK.

Further to my previous comments on the 19th October, I've noted that HMV is also offering Black Ops for only £7.99 with the trade in of MoH. I'll be taking full advantage of that offer, as losing £7.99 on the game is far less annoying than losing almost £40.
(I wonder which of the main characters in Black Ops they'll be killing off, though) ;-)

For UK customers, my local Gamestation is offering a guarranteed money off deal on Black ops for trading MoH in at time of purchase so thats what Il be doing. I imagine all Gamestation stores will be doing the same. I only wish Id not bothered paying 40quid for this. Greap SP but way too short. And the MP is just a rehashed BC2 but without some of the smarter ideas. Left me too skint to afford New Vegas so Im pretty annoyed at myself.
6/10

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
This game is not worth too much of my time to rate so I'll be brief. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I completed this game on the hardest difficulty in just over 4 hours. Graphics are poor, gameplay is average, AI is pathetic, Multiplayer is better than single player, but multiplayer gameplay could be compared to the original Halo, there is nothing new or exiting about this game. It is extremely over priced for such a pathetic attempt at a FPS. Knowing what I know now, If I saw this game on the shelf with $10 on it, I would complain about being over charged. Spare yourselves the grief and wait for COD7 at least they know how to make FPS games.

8 out of 10. Sorry ..No. The game is not at all worth that. 6/7 at best. Why...because it's the same as before as before as before as before.
All this type of game does is follow a path laid down by all the FPS games in last few years or so. MW was practically copied by MW2 in most respects but failed on the multiplayer section for me by not using dedi servers (Yes I am a PC Gamer) These games are single players with tacked on Multi games unlike the Battlefield series where it is the other way around.
MOH has basically done the same thing. Yes it looks lovely, yes the sound is good but it's just too predictable.
The multi experience in my mind is also a joke. It's basically camp in a darkened or covered spot and keep shooting at movement till someone gets a lucky shot in and then respawn and find another spot to do the same. This multi player would have been so much better with larger map.
The next one will be Black Ops and it will be the same again..you know it will.

Thanks for the helpful review. I wish I'd read it before forking out near £40 for the game. Let's see: £40 divided by 5 hours of gameplay = £8 per hour. I'm fairly certain you could get a better-than-average hooker for less than that in Amsterdam...
Seriously, though, the gameplay was very, very good, and at times I was so immersed in the unfolding drama that I sat there with sweaty palms wondering where the bloody hell my air support was. When the game abruptly ended (*SPOILER ALERT* with another MW2 rip-off involving the killing-off of a leading character), I was genuinely confused and waiting for the next chapter to start.
I'm not particularly interested in extending the play time with multiplayer, since I get that particular fix with MW2, so if you're like me, you'll rather wait to do a game swap with a slightly disappointed mate.
