Review for Medal of Honor: Vangaurd on Wii

For the most part I am having a blast playing through the actual game. The story is captivating, the action moves quickly and the music and sound FX are great. I like how the game doesn't get side tracked from doing the mission. Sure I enjoy games like Zelda where I can rome around an entire map and look under things find hidden rooms with neat stuff but this MOH was refreshing. Pure action right from the begining.

Graphics wise, they are very good. I still wonder how much better they can get, given time. I can't wait for Metroid! That should look great in my opinion.

One huge draw for me buying this game was the multiplayer aspect. Having four guys drinking beer trying to kill one another is just a fun night for all. Though it will probably work for now, MOH: Vangaurd missed the boat on this one. The maps seem a bit small, and the option to include computer bots is not there. Another drawback to the multiplayer scenario is the complete lack of kick ass weapons available. My friend and I played each map and never did find a bazooka or true sniper rifle.

Oh well. I can't complain to much. I am finding the game to be about what I expected. And I was dying to buy a FPS for the Wii. I still have not tried any of the launch titles (Far Cry, Red Steel, COD3) since the reviews were not great for any of them.

Overall Score: 7.8 out of 10

My Wii is amazing!

Well after about one month of playing on the Nintendo Wii, it is safe to say it is amazing. I had parents playing video games for the first time since playing PacMan on Atari! It was crazy. Seeing my Dad sore the next morning after playing for a couple of hours on Wii Sports was a good feeling. Nintendo has truely done something diferent this time. Even my wife, who is rarely interested in playing video games, will challenge me to a few rounds of Wii Boxing or baseball or tennis. I hope that Nintendo will put out full versions of each mini game released on Wii Sports. I would pay full price right now for a full version of tennis and baseball. I also have to say that Zelda is also a must own game. The visuals are nice but it's the game play and story that make the game great.

The one game I'm looking forward to playing in the next couple of months has got to be Tiger Woods 07! As much fun as the small 9 hole course on Wii Sports is, it just teases you. What you want it to play Pebble Beach with the WiiMote. It should be awesome. I say should because EA will have had plenty of time to work on it. Tiger Woods 07 should be out in March.

I hope everyone gets a chance to play the Wii.
