I can't believe this game didn't outscore Call of Duty 3, even though COD3 had no multiplayer...

Wow it didn't seem that bad. I thought it might get a 7.2 a good score for a rental but a 5.5 i guess wii and FPS's just don't go together

And watch metroid prime 3 get a 8-9 just because of the hype. Seems like all the review contained, was somebody saying the game sucked cause it didn't have online and its not worth it cause its too expensive "read the last paragraph". Yeah the controls had some dumb issues, but its more like a 7-8 than a 5.

IGN gave it a 7.0 and said it looks better than COD3 but doesn't handle/control as well.

I thought the PS2 one released at the same time.

Either way, this review also correlates to what GameInformer and 1UP think.

The PS2 version was rewarded the very same score. I think it's the game, rather than a missed opportunity for the Wii. Their review definately felt more negative than the IGN review, but their clearly seems to be some issues with the game...

Well, he made that up, I don't know where he could have read something along those lines.

I can't speak for MoH but for VC games it was mentioned long before the Wii's release that updates would be made available for VC games, allowing to play with others over the internet. I assume that will still be the case once the online service is up and running.

I've got it and it isn't a great game, but 5.5 seems a little underrated though. 6.5-7.0 would suffice.

I rented this game and it is crap.  I thought it would be really good.  IGN gave it over 7.  But it really is a terrible game.  Don't waste your money on this.  Rent it first.

I like it because its one of the first games that doesn't LOOK sloppy.  Also, there aren't many good multiplayer games out there and this one is fairly enjoyable.  The controls don't appear to be as bad as most reviews say either.

Madden and Godfather were not sloppy ports, they are doing better than Ubisoft's ports.

I just picked up the game, and have played it for awhile.  I must say that I am a little disappointed.  Maybe it's me, but this is my first time playing a FPS on the Wii.  Now, I'm starting to understand all the issues people have with the controls for FPS for the Wii.  It takes awhile getting used to, plus I had to make numerous adjustments to the sensitivity settings.  It really difficult to navigate.  It's alright when your character stands still, but when moving...it just doesn't feel right and not as intuitive.  I guess once you get the hang of it, things will pick up.  However, I don't think there's any reason why a FPS should play like this on the Wii.  I hope that future FP games for Wii play better than this, otherwise...I won't be looking forward to MP3 as much as I am now.

The fact that GameSpot gives out the lowest scores out of everyone is clearly a myth, they gave higher scores than others to certain games.  People look at the scores and overlook the context of the review; GameSpot reviewers are generally not afraid to expose the flaws of a game. Any game is not prone to be a disapointment and everyone said the same thing about how flawed this game was.

i got this game this morning.

overall i'd say this isn't a bad game. to start with i found it well hard to control. after playing for awhile though, i did get used to it. i do think the controls need a bit of sorting out if another game comes out, but they get the job done.

the 1 thing that i do really dislike about this game though is its length! i wouldnt say i'm very good at fps games, but i completed the 1 player mode in around 4 and a 1/2 hours...

i'm sure people who are used to the controls (people who have played alot of cod3 for example. yeah i know the controls are a bit different but still ;p) will be able to complete this game way faster than i did, and really it just doesnt seem right lol.

i can do the game on the other settings i suppose to make it last a bit longer i guess :cry:

anyway i havent tried the multiplayer yet (waiting for my bro to come round tomorrow to test that out) but i'm hoping itll be fun. theres nothing more fun that sneaking up behing ya bro and killing him with a melee attack ^^

score time! i'd give the 1 player mode a 6.5 out of 10. i would of given it a 8 but i just can't believe how short this game is :shock:

ps. i just LOVE throwing grenades in this game!... pity i'v thrown around 30 and have only killed 1 baddie, hehe i think i need to practise :lol:

Gamespot hates the wii. I'm pretty sure. They want to keep every possible game under 8 if they can. Look at the reasons for why most of the games get a lower score. I swear these guys say "Wii controls tacked on" for every wii game made.

I didn't expect much to begin with. The last few Medal of Honor games have been extremely underwhelming.
