Holds up as a Medal of Honor Sequel, but it has one major flaw. Overall fun and worth owning at the reduced price.

I happen to be a big fan of the MoH series, probably because I'm used to the control arrangements. With the Wii, you'll have a slight learning curve on the controls, but they work great once you understand that you must continually point the Wii-mote at the screen. There is also an option to freeze the gun position if you like, but I think the default is better and more fun - you'll get used to it and like it.

A lot has been said about the sloppy hit detection, and frankly, I haven't really noticed. Granted it isn't perfect - but pretty good.

One just criticism is the way your squad members seem to always occupy the best firing positions. This is a little annoying, but in a way it adds to the challenge.

My big knock on the game is the last two missions. They're extremely difficult and long - something like 25 separate objectives with check points way too far apart. It is especially bad on the last mission. This is clearly a design flaw that could have been solved by breaking up the missions a bit more. This takes the fun away and adds frustration - uncool.

The multiplayer is solid.

Bottom line - good, engaging game, but give yourself time to get used to the controls and set aside a good block of time for the last two missions.
