A wise person once asked "War, huh! What is it good for?" In life, not a great deal. In entertainment, however, it's provided us with quite a lot of hours spent in front of one screen or another, either watching or making it play out. And, let's face it, there's no safer moral war ground than World War II.
While Call of Duty may have made its way into the world of modern warfare, Medal of Honor has stayed firmly planted on solid ethical ground. It's June 6th, 1944. The war's reaching its end, but it could still go either way. With that in mind, players must step into the worn boots of OSS Operative John Berg to go behind enemy lines and undermine the Nazi regime.
For the second Heroes outing, gameplay has been rounded out a bit to include elements such as mortar blasts, sniping, .50 Cal machine guns and bazooka demolitions to mix things up.
The online multiplayer element of the last game is back in full force, with up to 32 players able to compete online in modes including deathmatch, team deathmatch, and infiltration.
Wii owners will also be able to make use of the Wii Zapper in arcade mode, with on-rails arcade shooter elements included.
