8.0 Presentation
Narrative voice acting and stylistic briefing videos set the stage for a return to cla.s.ic 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.

8.4

The controls and 32-player online multiplayer is this game's saving grace. Not to mentino, in addition to the regular single player mode, there is an arcade mode. Matt also said he digs how the gameplay is more like the original Medal of Honor games.

I expected the IGN score to be great, considering the praise they've been dishing it.

Now GS on the other hand..................

Yeah... they're not going to be quite so favorable, I'm afraid.

I'm surprised at the sound score. That's good, I was expecting it to be a lot of recycled music and not a lot of VA.

I was thinking a 7.0 but 8.4. Seems like a pretty decent game to play.

i know it will more than likely get a 7.5 or 8.0 but i still think an 8.5 is reasonable.

I don't expect much here.

I remember Vanguard having 7 at IGN and 5.5 at GS.

Ign just review it actually. They give it a 7.8. Oh well I more of a WWII fan then Modern time anyway. So I may get this game.:D Through the PSP version look nice(which got a 8.4 also).

Online was limited through, and the SP sucks.

Wow; their praise of the controls sparks much interest!

I'm not so negative in my opinion of GS' score on the game now. GS seems to be really big on presentation, and this game has VA and an orchestral score. Of course, they'll probably hit it hard for its graphics and other bugs.

Either way, if the controls are as good as IGN are saying.. this could make for a really interesting and intense MP experience.

This is quite surprising. I knew communication would be a problem, Nintendo needs to fix that problem. Though EA could of at least added keyboard support.

It'll get 7.5 here and that's fine. It's really not a bad score, It could've been 8.0 or 8.5 if it was made as a Wii exclusive (considering the graphics are solid and the controls are great) but the fact that the gameplay was limited so that it could work on the PSP I think will bring the score down.
