Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii

Let me start off by saying I have only been playing these games for a short while and MoH Vanguard for the Wii is my only true comparison. That being said let me begin.

I will break this review into three sections feature, single person play, and multi player.

New Features: New features, well the most noticeable for Wii players is the ability to play online (to be covered later) there is also and arcade mode that can be fun but I think the most noticeable game play features are the changes in WiiMote actions. In Vanguard there wasn't a lot of imagination in the controls basically point and shoot (especially with the bazooka) but now you will look funny to anyone not familiar with the game but it does make it fun. There is also the ability to play at 3 different levels of ability (I am on the beginner mode) and an arcade mode which I have only played once.

Single Player: These are the missions you go on similar to Vanguard, unlike Vanguard you have the arcade mode which is basically a kill em all let the insert deity of your choice here sort them out (the PC version of the saying) the game moves you forward and you have unlimited ammo so go kill kill kill. Other than that basically the premise is that you are an OSS operative assigned to an airborne unit to carry out a main mission and several side missions. The graphics (IMHO) haven't improved since Vanguard (this is a Wii game after all so graphics are not top priority) but they are still good and playable. I have cleared the first 3 levels and am working on 4 and each level has its own challenges and quirks.

Multi Player: Or as we call it online mode. This is where the game earns its nuts, and before I get any dig, dings or bullets this is a Wii game it will not compare with Xbox or PS3 so please cut me a break o it. The first feature I like is the fact this game is played on the EA servers so it is not as restrictive as the Nintendo servers may be. There are 3 basic game modes for online mode

.

  1. Deathmatch: as the book says everyone for them selves. This is my least favorite mode (basically because I suck at it) but it is fun just to run around and blast everyone.
  2. Team Deathmatch: this is a team version of Deathmatch a little easier for noobs because you have a team to work with.
  3. Infiltration (capture the flag): this is by far my favorite online game you are teamed with other to accomplish a mission (capture the flag).

All these games can be accessed by going to the lobby and joining in. You also have the ability to start your own game and have your friends come and play.

Overall I give the game an A for its playability and online play. I have seen on some of the boards that people have complained of lagging but in the last couple of weeks that I have played I have not noticed any.

Pros: Online play, Fast paced, Multi player

Cons: No communications (talk capability)
