Synopsis:

EA's ever expanding Medal of Honor series gets its second shot at the Wii in Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. This time players step into the boots of Office of Strategic Services operative John Berg as he heads behind enemy lines during the height of the Allied invasion of Normandy. As always, the game mixes elements of infiltration, reconnaissance, and sabotage with a heavy dose of frenzied WWII combat. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 features a number of actions that make use of the Wii Remote (throwing a grenade, firing a bazooka, pumping a shotgun, etc.) and the game is fully compatible with the Wii Blaster peripheral. In addition to the regular campaign, the game features an Arcade mode that functions as something of a rail-shooter, letting players concentrate solely on aiming and shooting.

Multiplayer:

Medal of Honor: Heroes two was the first Wii game to include a 32-player online multiplayer. The multiplayer included three game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Inflitration. Deathmatch is similar to free-for-all and in order win, you must have the highest kill to death ratio. In Team Deathmatch, you play as teams and every kill counts to the teams points, and every team kill takes away from those points. Infiltration is something similar to capture the flag and the team with the most captures wins the round.

Single Player Rating:

The single player for this game was not very long. While it was moderately entertaining while you played it, the game was no comparison to a Call of Duty or Battlefield campaign. I give the single player 5/10.

Multiplayer Rating:

The games multiplayer was not expansive enough for people who are used to Call of Duty games. However, for the first Wii online game, it was very enjoyable. I give it a 7/10

Overall Rating:

While the game was not the best game ever, it was very good for the first Wii online game. I give the game a 6.5/10.
