Medal of Honor Airborne: Don't drop this behind my enemy lines!

Playing Medal of Honor Airborne from EA is like trying to play an original XBOX game with a faulty controller. The game has so many instances where the player feels as if something on their end just doesn't work.
The game is the typical WW2 shooter but some of the problems in the game are anything but typical. First off, why don't enemies die after you shoot them once? The game is supposed to be so realistic yet when some Italian nut case is running at you full speed and you fill them full of machine gun rounds they keep coming. The accuracy of all of the rifles except for the Springfield sniper rifle practically makes them unusable. Why did they include such poor weapons in the game? It may be realistic but it surely isn't fun.
There many instances in the game where enemies get stuck in walls and against things looking like some original XBOX budget title. Your allies in the game are like cows. They wonder all over the map; walking into gunfire, trying to bludgeon enemies head on who are holding machine guns. Never have the words canon fodder been so aptly assigned to units.
The actual parachuting in the game is such a small insignificant part of the game; it could have been called Medal of Honor #4 and no one would have been the wiser. You must parachute into the green smoke marked areas or enemies will kill you. That's pretty much it. So much for an open battlefield.
Why EA chose to have SO MANY units on screen at once when most are just canon fodder anyway are beyond me. There are hero units who seem to have a head on their shoulders and they need to be flanked to be killed. One more thing about the enemy units; the super melee attack with the rifle is definitely the worst thing I've EVER seen in a video game. Not only is it unrealistic, the attack is just frustrating to the player; especially when even after unloading a whole machine gun clip into an enemy they can still hit you once or twice.
On a minor note, the fact that there is no blood in this game makes things more comical than dramatic. When you shoot some guy with the shotgun and he flies back five feet and then bounces off the wall like a cartoon character makes you laugh. They might as well have made the enemies aliens for the amount of realism this game conveys.
I have to admit I only played about 2/3 of the way through the game because I just couldn't deal with the frustration anymore. Between the stupid allies and the inaccuracy of the weapons; I just gave up after being killed in a hale of gun fire. For the number of allies you have and their intelligence, they really could have lessened the number of enemy units in some of the areas. The developers seem more interested in punishing the player every chance they get, rather than rewarding the player for being the only effective unit on screen.
So pretty pinup girls no withstanding Medal of Honor Airborne is little more than a rental title and the fact that it follows a genre that is so packed full of games. Airborne makes no case for it's existence. 5/10 go play Call of Duty 2.
