I’m almost done with Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (it’s a short game), but the further I get in, the more I like this cliched shooter with stellar controls. Weapon surprises abound throughout the game to keep things fresh, and the wealth of options such as the on rails shooter and fast-paced 32-person online multiplayer are much appreciated bonus. Even though enemy behavior is some of the most idiotic I’ve seen, it’s still a fun, moderately polished game worth your dime.

Offering 32-Person Online Multiplayer and Support for the Wii Zapper

(NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Medal of Honor Heroesâ„¢ 2 is available at retailers nationwide for the Wiiâ„¢ and the PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for the PSP will be available in Europe on November 23 and in the following months for the Wii.

From the 8.4/10 review:

I think it speaks volumes that, for as reluctant as I am to buy another wartime shooter, I really enjoy playing Heroes 2 in spite of its setting. The controls do that much for me. If you thought Metroid Prime 3 got it right, wait until you get your hands on this one.

You had me at four added decimal points. Kidding — add another one to the list.
