Hitting its peak amid the early to mid noughties wave of popularity for WW2 games, it is worth remembering that in their day these works were gaining a wider audience than the other, lesser known entity Call of Duty.

In recent times, it has struggled to catch up and indeed hold its own against the giants of the modern FPS genre; Call Of Duty and EAs newest foray into this market - the Battlefield series.

Here we are going to take you on a walk down memory lane to relive the franchise in all its glory.

The first MoH game to be released on the seventh generation of consoles, the main problem this game has is that it struggles to make use of the new opportunities the hardware provides.

Truth be told, it feels more like a slightly dolled-up PS2 game.

A poor multiplayer mode was joined by an even worse single player storyline, which was as about generic as it gets.

You take the role of a member of the 82nd American Airborne division and fight in Italy, France, Holland and Germany.

One thing that really sticks out about this game was the poor soundtrack.

At this point, the series had been very consistent on the quality of its score, but on this occasion it was not up to standard.

All the more surprising about this is the fact that it was composed by the normally-brilliant Michael Giacchino, who had already done stellar work on games such as Frontline and Rising Sun (more to come on those later).

I will admit, however, that one interesting, if not very well executed element of the game was the ability to parachute into missions at the beginning of each new campaign.

Basically, after choosing when to jump, the player could then steer the direction of the descent all the way down in order to begin the mission on their own terms.
