EA and Team Fusion were willing to go the extra mile on Nintendo’s console, and the end result is the best controlling shooter on the system, Prime 3 included. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 sets the bar for control, customization, and pure FPS gameplay on Wii - designers take note.

The game controls amazingly well with IR, is customizable to a ridiculous degree, includes impressive 32-player online play that runs far better than EA’s other online efforts, and even includes some casual-friendly modes with Arcade mode. The game looks beautiful, runs in 16:9 and 480p, and sets the bar extremely high for other Wii FPS titles, as it equips players with the customization necessary to suit each player’s unique tastes.

It got 8.4 for score but at least, this game sounds impressive, might consider getting one for its online play alone!
 
Tell me this isnt out soon cause im still working away on MP3, im wondering how they got it more "right" on the Wii controls!?
 
From the videos it seems a lot more interesting than linear bore-fest Metroid Prime 3, and I never thought I'd say that about an EA game. (sorry Nintendo please don't hurt me!!)
 
It is out next week, i really want this game but there are far to many Wii games coming out and i dont have enough time to play them :eek:
 
Have been interested in this having read EA were having a good go at it. I think they've really approached with Wii with a lot of positivity. Good to see that good controls for FPS games are coming out, because there's no excuse for others not to emulate it.

Yet another good Wii game I can't afford lol.

No but you played the game expecting it to be something it's not. I knew you wouldn't like it for this reason.

I expected a game where you'd explore and do puzzles. All I got was corridor after corridor and a 'turn this with the wiimote' switch dotted here and there. Although the turn the switch things should be a minigame in itself. It feels very satisfying when it clunks into place. That's probably the best bit of the game.

It's just not a very good game. I don't dislike it because it's not an fps, I dislike it because it's got rubbish design, linear gameplay, silly backtracking and monotonous pacing. It's nothing like what the fans hyped it up to be. This happens with a lot of games. Halo 3, Metroid Prime 3, Heavenly Sword, etc.

I wouldn't take my thoughts too close to heart Kree, there's not been a single game on any of the consoles that I liked this year after one playthrough except for The Darkness. You could say I'm dead inside when it comes to console gaming :p

Us fans had a reason to hype it given how good the first 2 games were, its not like this was another lair moment. I haven't picked this up yet but hope its not as bad as you make it sound KNiVES.
 
Well, if you liked the first two games you won't find any problems with the third game. That's what all the MP fans say.

My advice: listen to Kree ;)
