    A solid if unexciting WWII game on either platform. There’s little reason to pick up the game unless you blasted through Call of Duty 3 and are looking for more.

    If you can live with it, and I suspect many can, you will undoubtedly find Vanguard to be an entertaining and intense first-person shooter. For me, this is just the beginning of better games to come. I don't want to choose between tight controls or good graphics. I expect them both.

    The control scheme is largely a mess, but Electronic Arts succeeds in giving gamers more standard WWII action gameplay.

    Yes, Vanguard relies heavily on all the cliches of a World War II shooter, and what little new material it has fails to make the same impact as those now-standard genre elements once did. [June 2007, p.103]

    Vanguard just feels dated and unoriginal. Even by including Wii controls, Vanguard doesn't do anything to make the game stand out from any of the other dozens of WWII games out there, many of which are much more fun.

    Where MOH Vanguard takes a sniper hit to the head is the game play department, which feels a bit loose and unpolished.

    So Medal of Honor: Vanguard is just a waste of time and money. A tedious plodding waste suitable only for those absolutely desperate for another first-person shooter to play on their Wii.

    Revolutionary game for a revolutionary system. The best utilization of controls on a FPS for the Wii.
