 Fun? Yes in patches. Worth 30? No October 26, 2008
R. J. Cooke (oxford)
The Wii has had shortage of good, solid first-person shooters since the very beginning, and MOH2 does little to change things.
But first things first ... is it worth a punt? Yes if you can find it, as I did, for 15 or so. Anything higher and you'll feel short changed.
The problem with MOF2 is certainly not in the controls. In fact I'd go as far as saying these are single handedly the best FPS controls on any home console, besting even the sublime action of Metroid. Aiming and strafing is so quick, so responsive that playing Halo on my Xbox now feels incredibly clunky. The range of actions utilising the wii-remote is impressive, from grenade throws to shoulder-hefting bazooka action and a brilliantly unwieldy section where the player wrestles with the wii-mote and nun-chuck to control a weighty machine gun-placement.
Unfortunately, this is as immersive as it gets, a major flaw considering the 'realistic' setting of the game.
Playing a rather cliched one-man army, you move from grey-dull corridor to grey-dull corridor, fighting some respectable, nervy, but repetative gun-fights with little variation. It's by no means terrible, and the game is almost worth buying for the sharp frame-rate and controls alone.
However, my biggest gripe has to be the tech behind the whole game. For some unknown reason -and to the major annoyance of early adopters- developers are failing to show how the Wii is '3 times' the power of its predecessor, the Gamecube. Visuals are sharp but lacking detail. Collision detection is dreadful - at times you are are INSIDE your team member, shooting right through him -, AI is non-existent, with all the enemy running to scripted spots, getting caught on objects, firing into walls and worse. Finally, enemies vanish as soon as they die, sometimes in mid-air before they've even hit the ground, which is just about the least impressive thing that can happen in a modern day shooter: its like playing a PC FPS from 1999. When you think of the groundbreaking AI of Halo or the physics of Half-Life 2 - they were all done on a console over half a decade ago. MOH2 is dreadful in comparison.
All said and done, I paid 15, got 5-6 hours of fun, repetitive game-play, and traded it for 6. Not a bad deal for the best 'true' FPS on the system, its just that that's not saying that much.

If in doubt, buy Resident Evil 4 instead August 13, 2008

I bought this game after reading positive reviews for it on Amazon.
Despite some novel weaponary and interesting backgounds, you'll quickly find the gameplay limiting. The most obviously flawed area, is that when you're injured you just need to hide for a few seconds and your health magically restores itself. This coupled with the fact that the game is far too short, means that it is very easy to complete.
If you're after a first person shooter, buy Resident Evil 4 instead. If you can get past the whole 'zombie' thing, you'll find the gameplay much more involving and fun.
Time will tell if the new 'Call of Duty' or 'Brothers in Arms' will improve on this or not, but at the moment RE4 is the game to beat.
 As with Vanguard, Heroes 2 is OUT OF THIS WORLD! August 1, 2008

Loved every minute of it, I never put the wiimote down! Highly recommended to all! The motion grabs you, it makes you genuinely scared to make a sudden move as you may get shot down! I love the fact that it automatically saves the game, and love that you can start from checkpoints rather than from the very beginnig - you must request to continue from checkpoints though othewise you start from the beginning! Overall i give this 5 stars, 110%, A***** MEGA! Lets see a Medal of Honor 3!

this game is amazing.the onlinr mode is brilliant as it never lags and its easy to play. The controls are awesome, this might be the best ever war game on the wii. The game could get addictive online. The only thing thats gets me wound up is that if you're using a thomson gun or mg gun it takes alot of rounds to finally kill the other player, aim for the head always.
A must buy game for onliners
