Medal of Honor: Vanguard

 

Medal of Honor is as mentioned, a very succesful shooter franchise.  The later games in the series generaly have really dumb AI, this game is not a exception.

 

GAMEPLAY

I thought that Vanguard would be a very fun game, because of the paratrooper segments.  I was wrong, the paratrooper drop moments are short, and really don't add anything to the core FPS game.  Vanguard, is very simular to European Assault, with the exception, that the health meter is swapped out for the blood on the screen thing, brought about by Call of Duty.

 

GRAPHICS

The game has the same graphics as European Assault on the PS2 version, so pretty bad.  I'm not sure about the Wii version, but I personally think that Rising Sun had better Graphics.

 

STORY

You are one of Americas first paratroopers in WWII, under the 82nd Airborn Division.

You participate in missions set during: OPERATION HUSKY (invasion of Sicily), OPERATION NEPTUNE (Airborn element of D-Day), OPERATION MARKET-GARDEN (attack on the Netherlands), and OPERATION VARSITY (crossing of the Rhine).  There is a total of 10

missions.





AGE
MOH: Vanguard is a T game, but does include some blood and language, so age 12 and up.

CONCLUSION
This game was very dry, and had me saying, "I want my money back!".  With stale gameplay, and bad graphics makes this one 3 out of 10.

DETAILS
Medal of Honor: Vanguard was released in 2007 for Wii, and PS2.
It's rated T for blood, language, and violence by the ESRB.
