Medal of Honor: Vanguard for the Wii:

IGN review: 7/10

Gameinformer review: 4/10

1UP review: 4/10

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/937395.asp

 

So much for finally having a better Wii shooter than Red Steel....

 

They really need to build a shooter from the ground up for the Wii. Far Cry, Call of Duty, and Medal of Honor are PS2 ports, and Red Steel was rushed through development on a modified Gamecube development kit and then ported to the Wii for launch. We have yet to see what the Wii is actually capable of in terms of FPS games.

It'll come, remember that pretty much every game that is out up until now has been done mostly on a Gamecube dev kit. Nintendo made the mistake of releasing the Wii dev kits late, and we're all paying for it. Of course there is some credit due to lazy developers and other devs underestimating the Wii.

1up is blatantly pro-sony so naturally they'd be harsh on the Wii game but honestly iunno what to make of this. Maybe this is like a sign that Metroid Prime 3 will come like a phoenix underneath the waves of crappy fpses.

B. I do not expect it to score well. Then again, we may get surprised. Both GameInformer and 1up have their own weird little quirks. 1up gave Bully a 10 pretty much because they hated Jack Thompson, and GameInformer gave Paper Mario: TTYD a 6.25 because they didn't like how much reading was involved.

THat might not be such a bad thing.  Just as long as everyone doesn't put lock-ons in their shooters.

If Metroid Prime 3: Corruption flops, there is seriously no hope for a FPS esque game on the Wii.

Based on previews and Retro's track record, it's pretty hard to see a flop.

From the previews from GS it sounded like they liked the controls more (at least more than CoD3).  All the previews of it said it was better than CoD3.  I mean, come on!  CoD3 had the WORST graphics also!  Usually better graphics + controls = higher score!...?

I guess you didn't read the part about how this game (and Red Steel, CoD3, and Far Cry) are all ports from the PS2 eh?

Or maybe you're a close minded fanboy.

I guess both.

It's a PS2 port, so obviously not. After seeing some pictures from GUN for the 360, can I officially say that it isn't next gen?

I don't think the Wii is going to be the console for FPS. I know it is still early in the consoles life but I'm just not feeling it.

An FPS w/o at least graphics and/or good on-line (more important) doesn't even deserve a release IMO.  Especially another WWII one that adds nothing to the genre.
