tpa151's Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (Wii) review

Great Controls Can't Make Up For Bland

In two or three  years, we'll probably look back and cite this game as the grandfather of a whole slew of FPS for the Wii.  This was the one that proved to the masses that the Wii's controls were perfect for an FPS.  The game controls are absolutely amazing.  They let you have an astounding degree of control and really make you feel much more involved in the game.

That said, this game couldn't be more uninspired.  The story comes off-half hearted at best and everything about the game just screams bland.  It was a chore to finish this game as the missions are incredibly boring.

The game's multi-player is another innovative aspect that works very well.  It works pretty much like what you'd expect for an online FPS; however, it is not as evolved as what you've probably come to expect in terms of maps and modes in a modern-day FPS. 

I think the best way to describe this game is as an excellent "proof of concept"  It demonstrates rather admirably how an FPS could work on the Wii; however, it fails in almost every respect to actually being a FPS that is fun to play.

You use EA Nation to use the online which is a relief that you don't have to use those damn friend codes. The controls in Heroes 2 work well, very well for that matter. Where most Wii ports fall is in the controls department bu...

The worst WW2 game in recent memory. 0
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2(Wii) by splitterguy on October 27, 2008
A few years ago, my friend and I would get into arguments about which was better: Call of Duty, or Medal of Honor.  The both of us had only ever had the ability to play the PS2 versions of both games.  No matter what was said, it always came down to me saying this: "Sure, the last games weren't so great, but Frontline was the best WW2 game ever!".  EA recently released Airbourne, Vanguard (which, to be honest, I haven't played), and, of course, Heroes 2.  What I'm getting at is that EA hasn't ev...
