Customer Reviews

A good FPS, good multiplayer option, ok graphics.
I have been playing this now for a few weeks and am very pleased with it.
The campaign is ok, not too hard and easy enough for a casual gamer like me to get into.
The controls take a bit of getting used, but once you play it a bit you soon get used to it.
Multiplayer is enjoyable, my only gripe is I cannot seem to join games, and have to create my own every time. But once in a game its good fun.

So whilst it will not win any graphics awards its a good enjoyable game that seems to make good use of the Wii remote functionality.

average! and dull
The controls are really good and intuative but apart from that there are alot of flaws.
1- you cannot jump, you just slavishly follow a pre-destined route through each level.
2- the online is poor, slow to get started and I constantly got kicked off the server and gave up.
3- small levels, you stay in the same place for ages as hundreds of badies spill and you labourisously work your way though them.

Overall it is a bit poor and I dont find myself wanting to keep playing as it gets dull. Compared to call of duty 4 on the 360 this does not even come close, even bareing in mind the graphical restrictions of the wii

sorry about poor spelling couldnt be bothered to do spell check!

Wii controls save average FPS
This is a pretty bog standard Medal of Honour game to be honest, plenty of action but awful AI from both opponents and teammates.

Thankfully the Wii controls are so smooth and accurate though, that it feels much more than your average run of the mill game.

The single player is fairly short and has an arcade-y feel to it as you get a rating at the end of every level. This ensures that the game has a decent lifespan as you can go back and look to get top marks on all the levels and complete all the subquests. The actual Arcade mode is pretty good too. An on rails shooter thats ideal for the Wii Zapper, and a good one at that.

The graphics are very sloppy and there is really no excuse for this as Wii owners have Super Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicals which show that excellent graphics are possible on the machine. This however, graphically at least, is just a PS2 port. Which is a shame.

The actual in game combat is excellent thanks to the Wii remote - I really find it a struggle to go back to FPS's on my 360 now because these controls (along with Metroid Prime 3) are so good. It just feels much more natural and immersive to actually point at where you want to shoot on the screen rather than just line up with analouge sticks. Its much more accurate too.

The games big selling point is the online multiplayer and it doesn't dissapoint at all.

Now some things like a lack of voice chat I would imagine would be a negative for a lot of people, but I dont really see why because in my experience voice 'chat' just means children swearing at each other, so its not something I miss, but I guess you can make your own mind up there.

There are various game modes like Death Match, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag etc that all work superbly.

One thing that makes it different from other current online shooters is that it takes a lot of bulletts to kill people. You really need to learn to look down your scope and pick your shots as otherwise you will waste alot of ammo. I do like this as it sort of levels the playing field and means that beginners dont just get slaughtered everytime. Dont get me wrong though, there are some expert players that just never seem to die.

Overall, I wouldn't say this was the greatest game in the world but its an excellent value package as you basically get 3 games that will all last a decent amount of time, especially the online multiplayer.

I would recommend buying it, but somewhere in me there is a slight feeling of dissapointment because I feel the Wii deserves a five star FPS because of the superb control method. I mean playing Call Of Duty and Halo now is ruined because you want the Wii controls with them so much!! Hopefully something like that will appear in the future but for now this is really good and highly recommended.
