Worst Medal of Honor to date.

User Rating: 5.8 | Medal of Honor: Vanguard WII
I'm a major fan of FPS games so, needless to say, when I heard about Medal of Honor: Vanguard I was really excited. I've been a fan of the MOH series ever since I played Frontline and, even though I've been slightly disappointed with the last two editions in the series, my hopes for this game were high. Unfortunately though, my hopes came crashing down once I got my hands on this game.

The primary problem with this game is the length, the game is just too short. There are four campaigns with each one being divided up into 2-3 missions each, with the average play time per mission clocking in around 30 minutes. Compared to other MOH games this is quite pitiful.

Another issue with this game is the lackluster multiplayer. Nowadays system link is considered to be standard with FPS games, yet EA fails to utilize the Wii's wireless nature to link up multiple systems. To make matters worse, Vanguard does not have the ability to set up bots in multiplayer, so the maximum number of players you can have on a map at any one time is four (yourself and three opponents.

On the plus side, the play control for this game is great. If you've played other FPS games on the Wii there is practically no learning curve, if you haven't it takes about 15 minutes of playing before you start to feel comfortable with the controls. Having the ability to just point and shoot at your target is a great asset to the FPS genre and Vanguard definitely doesn't disappoint in that regards.

Unfortunately, the short play time, coupled with a $50 price tag, mixed with horrible multiplayer makes this the worst Medal of Honor game to date. EA needs to step up to the plate with their next installment in this series or I can see Medal of Honor falling by the wayside in the next few years.
