Medal of honor airborne is a great game in the massively over-done WWII genre. The educational value isn't all that school might offer, but it does teach the hardships and challenge of just surviving in WWII. The game's message is almost not there, and if it is then i can't find it, but the violence is frantic, esspecially on the expert difficulty setting. On the casual (easy) setting the game amounts to just endless slaughter of the evil Nazis until probably the third mission (Normandy). There is blood in this game, but not overly so, it usually sprays into the air and dissapears, but only when the enemy is dead and it doesn't splatter either. The only language in this game is mild like the box says, the worst language is usually tuned out by the plane (the very fist mission) and your fellow soldiers' yelling.The game looks generally great for a game made in 2007, and has few to no glitches, the best graphics are from the metal though, and it's made on the famous unreal engine(Batman:Arkham Asylum).

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Medal of Honor: Airborne was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know that this first-person shooter game, the third in a popular series, aims to re-create battles during WWII. You can expect the character you play to shoot enemies in the head or throw grenades into a room full of Nazis, among other violent acts. But as a game that re-creates history, the violence feels less gratuitous.

- Families can talk about war being considered "entertainment." Some believe re-creating war -- even virtually -- is insensitive to those who protected our country. Others, however, believe that since this took place more than 60 years enough time has passed, and it has an educational component as it teaches players what it was like on the front lines. Where do you stand?

What’s the Story?
As a U.S. paratrooper in MEDAL OF HONOR: AIRBORNE, part of Electronic Arts' popular World War II shooter series, you land wherever you like -- be it on the ground within the safety zone, or on a rooftop inside of an Axis stronghold -- and then combat the enemy troops by following one of a few paths to victory. The objectives can be completed in whichever order you choose. The game begins with Operation Husky, where you'll drop into a Sicilian village, and ends with a climactic fight in and around a huge vertical concrete tower in Germany Once you're on the ground, however, the core gameplay will be familiar to previous Medal of Honor players: skulking around with a first-person perspective, swapping guns and grenades, and analyzing the environment with help from an onscreen map that indicates where the allied and enemy troops are.

Is It Any Good?
You can choose weapons to suit your objectives and unlock upgrades by performing impressive moves, including taking down four or five enemies at a time. This adds an interesting role-playing game-like element to the action. Keep in mind, however, that some weapons have serious recoil, which can make them harder to aim and fire repeatedly. Along with the eight- to 10-hour single-player campaign, Medal of Honor: Airborne offers a handful of multiplayer modes for up to 12 players over the Internet, including Team Deathmatch and Objective Airborne.
Medal of Honor: Airborne is an engrossing military action experience -- especially the second half of the story and team-based online modes -- that proves to be one of the best in the franchise to date.

Good Game
Blood sprays out of wounds and bloody headshots, but its just a mist of blood. Mild language is used. Very realalistic and teaches you about actual people and battles of WWII

Good for anyone ages 11 and up.
Medal of Honor Airborne is a highly authentic teen-rated WW 2 first- person shooter. There is some educational value, like learning about famous battles, like Normandy, and operation Market Garden. The only real messages are of valor and comradarie in battle. Violence is extremely prominent, and you kill hundreds of vile nazi soldiers, blood appears almost every time you kill an enemy at close range. Language is rarely used and not very bad.
