European Review Scores Soar as Medal of Honor Prepares for EU Launch
EA today announced great Medal of Honor day one sales and that the game is well in position for an outstanding holiday. Co-developed by EA’s Danger Close Studio in Los Angeles and DICE in Stockholm, Medal of Honor launched yesterday with strong momentum and early internal indicators show that the game is off to a great commercial start. In the U.S., retail response has been overwhelmingly positive with midnight launch events at nearly all Gamestop locations nationwide and with major mass merchandising retail chains already exceeding their Day 1 forecasts.
“We anticipate Medal of Honor to be one of the biggest video game titles launched this year,” said Bob McKenzie, Senior Vice President of Merchandising at GameStop. “This underscores how video gaming has emerged as mainstream entertainment.”
Medal of Honor is set to ship this Friday in the UK and the rest of Europe, and has already earned massive acclaim amongst some of the world’s toughest critics. Zoo Magazine gave it a perfect 5 out of 5 while Gamesmaster scored it at 85% stating that it is “more realistic than Call of Duty”; ComputerAndVideogames.com scored it an 85 and hailed it, “an engrossing online shooter” and Eurogamer scored Medal of Honor an 8 out of 10 calling it “compelling and enjoyable.”
