| Medal of Honor Heroes 2 Nintendo's first online FPS, created by EA. Now if your a heavy FPS fan, and a graphics junkie, right away the low res textures, and poor graphics will turn you off. Overall the games controls take a while to adjust to, let alone customize for your gameplay style. But once you got it down pact, its very fluid. The different gestures and pointing maneuvers feel very realistic and challenging in comparison to its Xbox, or playstation counterpart where everything is analog stick controlled. The game is all but boring, with up to 32 player support, along with a mediocre selection of weapons, you'll be entertained and hooked for quite a while mastering all the different aspects. The downfall is the lack of variety in online play, lack of maps, and OMG LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS! So many times I find myself wanting to bite the heads off my team-mates because they lack the ability to properly grasp the aspect of teamwork. Oh, don't get me wrong, they have a EA instant messenger, with preset conversation text...Oh, and there is ways to communicate ingame. SURE! You have a variety of different ingame orders and pleas. The lack of communications is where Wii is failing bigtime. This is next gen, every other console already has it, Nintendo's motto to stay family orientated failed when they allowed Manhunt two to be published as a Wii title. Give me a break, there are no online predators that own a Wii, if there was, they'd use it to attract children to their homes rather then attempt to play golf with them through the Wii.
Overall MoH Heroes 2, is a great game, and a good way to support Wii's desperate pull towards the FPS genre. If you got a Wii, and enjoy competitive games, then this game is a definite. If you're so/so on the topic, try renting it.
