This World War II shooter from EA's Medal Of Honor series focuses on an airborne battalion in the European front. Your mission starts with a (very cool) graphically realistic airdrop from a C-47 aircraft onto an active battlefield. As you fall, you can steer your parachute toward the target drop site. Once you land, the shooting begins, and the game starts to resemble previous Medal Of Honor games, with plenty of Germans to kill in nonlinear gameplay. New features include the ability to customize weapons, encounters from rooftops and balconies, and better enemy AI (artificial intelligence). The game features multiplayer modes that can be played with other players locally, or online. Note that the PC version is $40.
