Medal of Honor And Rock Band 0

by Adam Blue • Editorial

Rock Band is supposed to be the hot item this year alongside the Wii. But, fortunately I have my ways of getting these hot-ticket items. Let me just say, Rock band is worth it. It’s totally worth it with a group of people. There’s not much more that needs to be said other than bring me some Offspring and Chuck Berry. Although, I do have an issue with the red drum-pad not being recognized occasionally, unless it’s just me.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is also a game I’ll tag as worth it. During the Wii’s life cycle, there hasn’t been an FPS that took advantage of the Wiimote. Most of the time, these FPS’s would turn out rather bland, or just too much emphasis on the wrong parts of the Wiimote. But what EA has here, is nearly perfect. After tweaking with the somewhat robust control options, I was able to get an enjoyable control scheme. This consisted of using the Wii Zapper, but holding the nun-chuck in the other hand. I made the dead-zone box as small as possible, which I believe an obsolete one would do better. Then, playing in the game world, I never felt the controls as being overbearing over unnecessary. Twitch up to reload, thrust forward to melee, and with iron-sights up, twitch the nun-chuck left or right to lean out of cover left or right. With a grenade in hand, press the trigger near a target and pull back the remote and ‘throw’ forward. There goes your grenade chucking. Controls aside, the game offers Campaign mode as well as Arcade mode that plays similar to ‘House of the Dead’ or ‘Time Crisis’. The graphics aren’t too good, which are easily overlooked by how immersed you become. Online play consists of 32 players, but the combat is too fast for the control types to really enjoy it. I say ‘buy it’ just to have it. It’s fun to pull out every once-in-a-while for some fun(that’s what she said).
