It's my first review, so it's probably not that well written.

So there's this new game. It's called Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. We'll be finding out whether it's really worth $50.

Story: 6/10

The story is pretty much like other WW2 shooters: You're an OSS agent who's mission is to singlehandedly destroy Hitler's V2 weapon and save the day all while sitting down. At the start of each mission you get briefed by your commanding officer with photographs and a voice-over. There's really nothing outstanding in this area.

Graphics: 8/10

This game has some of the best graphics for the FPS genre on the Wii. At a solid 60fps, you know it should be great. There are many times where German soldiers will clip through crates though, and they will walk right through you. But what are graphics compared to the gameplay?

Gameplay: 9/10

The gameplay is very immersive and intuitive. One of my favorite times in the game is when you get to use a radio to contact headquarters by twisting the dial with your wiimote left and right to get the right frequency. The mediocre speaker in the wiimote mimics the old time radio sounds perfectly. It's not a run-and-gun shooter. There are many times in the campaign where the never-ending waves of Germans will have you pinned down and resorting to strategy. There's also an arcade mode, where it's on-rails action. Used with the Wii Zapper, and it'll be like Time Crises. Both modes would probably last you at least a good six hours each. Again, it's way better than Vanguard.

Controls: 10/10

The controls in the game are just amazing and innovative. They respond very well and if you don't like them, you can tweak them to no limit. Other than the previously mentioned radio controls, you also use the wiimote as a mine detector, sweeping the round for mines with the speaker working very well to mimic the old-time sounds. The controls are even better than MP3. Most likely the best controls on the Wii so far.

Multiplayer: 9/10

This is where the game truly shines. Virtually no lag, a good selection of maps, and 32-person multiplayer to boot? Damn! It has a system where you register for an account, so there's no using friend codes either! All you do is type in your friends name, and you can play with them and talk to them using an amount of pre-defined messages. Sure, you can't craft custom messages, but it gets the job done. The only thing I wish there was is voice chat. It'd make team-play way easier.

Overall: 9/10

It's a great game for the Wii. It's a must get purely for the online. With great gameplay, multiplayer, and controls, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is surely a winner.
