Alright, here is my demo review.

The graphics i'd give an 8. My computer has a hard time when there is a lot of enemies, but the foliage effects are good. But i'd say the graphics need tweaking.
The AI deserves an 8. The enemy AI is excellent, but sometimes my allied troops act like idiots. THey will walk directly in front of me when I'm firing my gun, and then they yell at me because Im not watching where I am firing.
The sound is a definite 10. Its Medal Of Honor, they always have had good sounds and a terrific musical score.
Finally, the gameplay deserves a nine. Its no Call Of Duty, but it comes close.

very poor mouse control....or is it a gameplay feature that the mouse reacts so slow and overshoots?

in previous MOHAA games the mouse control was excellent..

Just change the mouse sensitivity. I dont know if you know this Lemon8, but most games default settings set the mouse sensitivity to low.

the game is not bad. After playing it a bit, the airplane fighting is pretty cool, including the explosion effects of the planes. The graphics of the game are not that bad, certainly when my wife saw it she thought it was pretty cool. I had everything cranked in the game graphics wise and I didn't really have any lag at all which was pretty impressive given the lighting in the game. as for the ai, it's ok I guess. pretty much they hide and rush and several times i was getting attacked right up front. your men also listen very well when you give orders. overall it's not bad, if hl2 is delayed longer(which i don't think) i might get this game. this is another game that if the price is right, i'd get it for past time playing..it's worth the download though.

I can't get the game to even start. Says my video card is not direct X8.1 compliant. I know I have an old outdated card (Gforce 4), but when I go to the Nvidia website it says my card is fully 8.1 compliant. There must be a way to by-pass this check. Anyone know?
