This game is pretty much like rising sun. Read my review for my full input.

User Rating: 6.5 | Medal of Honor: Vanguard PS2
Medal of honor vanguard isn't all is should be. I expected a little more from the makers of medal of honor vanguard. The sound is very realistic and the graphics are great. The plot is very realistic. You start out in the drop plane and the drop commander goes through all the steps. Then your thrown out of the plane and into an epic battle scene. The overall campain is OK. There are some levels that are not very fun, and some that are hard like the last level.
Some of the good things about this game are that there is no health bar, the more you are hit,the more damage you take, then you gradually heal. Another is the medals you can achieve, they're challenging to get but they are authentic medals. Also, there are upgrades to all the american weapons like a scope or a drum barrel for an smg.
I would play it at a friends house or rent it first to see if you like it.
