Medal of Honor Vanguard (Wii, 2007)

The good: Extremely great and cinematic music. Great graphics for an FPS Wii game. Great sound effects and graphical effects like explosions, smoke etc...Very fun and historically accurate levels. Real sense of urgency on harder difficulty modes. Real locations.

The Bad: WAY too short (but fun), I completed this game in around 5 hours. Parachuting is a nice addition but you can't really do much with it. Soldiers use same phrases over and over and over. Storyline is too linear. The control scheme takes some getting used to. No detectable blood. Throwing grenades is almost useless, as they are hard to get them where you want them to go. No Cover system, only crouching and laying down.

The UGLY: It is almost impossible to go from the laying down position to standing up using the nunchuck, use the buttons instead for this task. You usually end up turning around or reloading instead of standing up.

I do recommend buying this game...at a later date. Now that I've played it, I'm kinda mad that I paid $50 for it, simply put because it's way way too short. Not even half as long as past games. Definitly the best WII first person shooter out there though.

It's the same MOH that I loved with PS2 only the game is MUCH easier than the traditional MOH series. It is also MUCH shorter! I have played every MOH game made and this one is the worst. Sure, the graphics are great, the sounds are still cool, but it is not very challenging. You seldom get to use the MG42s against the enemy. Very predictable and easy.
It's a nice game but not worth the retail price. I won mine in an auction and got it for half of what it costs in the stores PLUS I got an extra remote.
Wait for the price to go down and pick up this game if you're a fan of MOH.

MOH gaming has taken a few steps backward with this game. The graphics and story line are very good as is the ability to take several different routes to arrive at your destination. What the game has lost is the difficulty inherent to most first person shooter games. In many portions of the game your brothers in arms run past you and do most of the work leaving you a clear path. The Wii controller (wand) is not exactly well laid out to start
with and EA has made it even harder to use with their layout, which is not an option. All in all it is an enjoyable game but don’t expect the excitement you had from the older games.

I love the Medal of Honor games and couln't wait to get this for the Wii. I just didn't like playing this with the Wii control. I would much rather play this using a regular controler. I wish you had the option to use the Came Cube controler with this. Also the graphics are a bit weak. It looks like an early PS2 game. But I think if it wasn't for the Wii controle on this game I would rate it much higher. This is just my personal oppinion about what I didn't like but I bet their are alot of people that are fine with the control and love how this plays. So I'd go and rent this in the video store first before you buy it.

I love the MOH series, but EA laid dud with this game. This Game is lame as lame can get. Maybe EA should stop making WW2 games and do what they are doing with call of Duty and have a modern approach
