and now Medal of Honor Heroes 2 -- a seemingly unimpressive "Wii-make" title brought over from PSP as a pocket developer's premiere console effort - again pushes the genre to its limits, as EA's latest WWII FPS has easily become the most responsive and customizable FPS experience on Wii.
Textures look great, the framerate locks at a steady 60 for the majority of time (small hiccups do occur), and it's a generally beautiful experience on Wii, easily trumping the previous Medal of Honor title and Call of Duty as the best looking first-person experience under Prime.
What it is, however, is the best controlling, most entertaining first-person shooter on Wii
oh yeahEnemies can be extremely tough at times, forcing you to really hunker down and play using strategy, and the game's impressive controls allow you to do just that, as precision shots can be made from literally anywhere on the map.
....Sum online info
The game runs with 32 players online and does so with very little interruption. With the option of playing deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag, players will have a decent list of options to work with, resulting in easily the best pure online gameplay on the system thus far
At any time you can initiate a vote to kick players or change the map, as well as outfit your soldier with different weaponry or change control style, making the experience extremely seamless for Wii's first online FPS. Since EA Nation also supports friend lists and quick-chat commands, MOH also allows for these options, so when logging on you'll instantly be able to tell which friends are playing where.
Overall though, there’s no denying the pure entertainment of Medal of Honor Heroes 2. The game controls amazingly well with IR, is customizable to a ridiculous degree, includes impressive 32-player online play that runs far better than EA’s other online efforts, and even includes some casual-friendly modes with Arcade mode. The game looks beautiful, runs in 16:9 and 480p, and sets the bar extremely high for other Wii FPS titles,
Even tho this game is fun it definitely is not perfect and not as good as Call of Duty 4 but it is very enjoyable and one of the best FPS games for the Wii.
8.0 Presentation
Narrative voice acting and stylistic briefing videos set the stage for a return to classic Medal of Honor gameplay. Menus are slick and attractive throughout.
8.5 Graphics
Running at a solid 60 frames per second, Medal of Honor is smooth and visually pleasing. Make no mistake about this game’s graphical leap over the PSP version.
8.5 Sound
An inspirational orchestral score blends with tons of VO, voice morphing/ear ringing effects for explosions, and simulated surround for an impressive audio experience.
8.5 Gameplay
IR control gets no better than this for Wii FPS games. Online runs extremely well, and the amount of customization is a huge plus. Still a bit buggy at times, but impressive nonetheless.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
32-player online, a full single player campaign (about six hours), and an arcade mode added in. This is a great amount of bang for your buck.
