Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond Game Review Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is a virtual reality, first-person shooter that can (currently) only be played with Oculus Rift, Valve Index or HTC Vive PC hardware. Gamers harken back to the action of World War II as a heroic lieutenant who, after putting his life on the line to save a group of stranded soldiers, gets recruited by American brass into the Office of Strategic Service. As an agent of the OSS—the Office of Strategic Services, was a wartime intelligence agency and predecessor to the CIA during WWII—gamers are tasked with a wide variety of espionage activities in North Africa, France, Germany and Norway. Those missions include giving aid to the French Resistance, taking out German Gestapo bases and even planting explosives on the beaches at Normandy. Players are also given the unexpected chance to do everything from commanding a tank to dropping a payload from a WWII bomber. And, of course, there are lots and lots of gun battles using period accurate weapons against an onrush of Nazi and German forces.
