Attention! You are going to step into the troop of Frank Keegan, Corporal of the 82nd Airborne Division and you are going to slot in yourself into the brutal clashes that took place in 40’s across the globe and took the lives of over 71 million people.
You are going to fight the Nazis that are believed to be the major cause of WWII outbreak. The sky is getting darker, the blood is floating in eyes and the hopes are dying down as you are forwarding your steps towards frontline.
EALA’s newest TPS development Medal of Honor: Vanguard takes place in such chaotic circumstances.
Game-Plot:
The situation is worsening at Vanguard and meantime you get into the game, playing as Frank Keegan, corporal of the 82nd Airborne Division and escort the soldiers and kindle a new ray of hope in the hearts underdog captors. The game is a biased war of yours against Nazi war machine.
Battle-front calls for you:
Game comes with great cinematic experience and as the sky gets crimson with the lightening of thousands of gunfire taking thousands of lives a time.
The game situates the player in the middle of battleground where the player has just two options either to shoot the man in front or let the rival’s fetal bullet pierce your chest. So it’s better to slay down the man in front, instead of becoming prey of harsh bullet.
The game puts shoulder of the player behind the rifle emitting death. The shooter game starts off with a bang. The action starts as Keegan and his crew are spattered in air even before landing byside of battledored in Europe. Somehow, Keegan enables himself to open his parachute before he hits the ground hard with high gravitational pull and manages to land safely and at once Nintendo’s Wii-mote and Nunchuk offers its best use as you can direct his speed and angle or control the speed of freely falling Keegan.
The game plays pretty well with FPS Vanguard in which the motion-sensing Wii-mote doesn’t add much to the game and some repetitive color scheme that every WWII thematic game makes it look like other WWII games, already there.
The game across PS2 as well it’s just the matter of graphics that makes difference between two gameplays. Another factor that makes the game a bit gloomy is too much World War thematic games in the market like Call Of Duty, etc, etc. However, the game content is not very much varying, but even then some intuitive control features makes its worth playing.
Price: $40(PS2), $50(Wii)
ESRB Rating: T (Teen)
Pros:
• Innovative Wii control scheme
• Multiplayer Mode
• Good audio quality with ear-splitting bomb explosions with
Cons:
• Poor graphics
• Monotonous storyline, not a novel approach
Bottom-Line:
The game developer EALA has done a pretty nice effort to bring an excellent shooter based on warfare and bringing it to the Wii and PS2 is also a high thought but what makes it a feeble shooter title is dozens of WW based games on different platforms.
