MEDAL OF HONOR VANGUARD
WALKTHROUGH GUIDE FOR PS2 & WII

Medal of Honor: Vanguard Review:  
Like most Medal of Honor games, Vanguard displays great sound and a gorgeous soundtrack. The level of detail concerning the sound effects is done right but when it comes to a dramatic score, you will fall in love with the game’s soundtrack. The voice acting is good as well and this time characters will actually comment on events you trigger. Toss a grenade badly and your squad mates will yell to any unsuspecting comrade to take cover. 

Medal of Honor Vanguard makes good use of the Wii technology but as far as the genre is concerned this is a good attempt at delivering a quality first-person shooter. Sadly, it’s not a perfect attempt since there are some problems that crop up often throughout the game. Still, if you’re looking for a decent, occasionally action-packed World War II FPS, Vanguard is not a bad choice as a weekend rental. While $10 pricier than the PlayStation 2 version, dedicated Medal of Honor fans might want to consider a purchase as well. Everyone else can wait for EA to release a game that will make first-person shooter fans and Wii owners proud.

Review Scoring Details for Medal of Honor Vanguard


Gameplay: 7.5
Poor hit detection holds this game back from being a great first-person shooter but this is still a decent FPS with some intense moments that feel far more exciting with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in your hands rather than a regular controller. Tossing grenades has never this much fun. 

Graphics: 7.5
The game’s visuals are slightly better than the PS2 version and that’s bad considering the fact that the Wii can do so much better. Still, it’s hard to fault a game when the effects and environments look pretty good. There’s far less clipping than the PS2 version as well.

Sound: 8.5
When it comes to cinematic soundtracks, the Medal of Honor series does things right. It’s not surprising to find out that Vanguard has a magnificent score that plays throughout and picks up in all the right moments. The sound effects are also stellar and the voice acting is actually pretty good.

Difficulty: Medium
There will be times where you’ll be pinned by more than two German soldiers and you’ll wonder what happened to those dumb Nazis who never ducked for cover or retreated when things looked bad. The Wii controls get some getting use to as well.

Concept: 7.5
The Nintendo Wii has been lacking quality first-person shooters since Day One but at least Vanguard fixes some of the issues that have made the genre a disappointment for Wii owners. There are some really intense moments in the game and, while the story isn’t particularly deep, it does a great job of giving us a glimpse of what the 82nd Airborne did during the war.

Multiplayer: 7.0
Split-screen multiplayer is fun for short bursts of time but this game could have used online support. Still, the four game mode types and ability to run smoothly is enough to keep up to four gamers busy for awhile.

Overall: 7.5
The Nintendo Wii has yet to see a competent first-person shooter worthy of the technology but at least Medal of Honor Vanguard is a single step in the right direction. Compared to Call of Duty 3, Electronic Arts’ game manages to pull off some things right to give us a game that’s fun enough to look past its flaws.
