Selling my Medal of Honor

[prog]

I am eBaying my copy of Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii. An impulse buy, mostly due to the allure of 32-person multiplayer (via Internet play). Mechanically, though, it's a full-on no-frills first-person shooter, and as such it's just not my cup of tea. I think I expected it to be more like Resident Evil 4, because it shares the mechanic of using the wiimote to aim, but now I see all the ways that RE4 is not a FPS.

It may be worth checking out if you do like FPS games and you want to see how they can work on Wii. Here is its MetaCritic page.

Did you try out the multiplayer at all?

Yeah. It's all right, but it has only one mode, pure every-man-for-himself deathmatch. It's kind of a hoot, but it's also pretty shallow.

I played for 15 minutes in one of the games labeled "Newbies only!" and did OK; you see a scoresheet at the end of every player's kills/killed ratio during your time in, and I was 11/10. One guy was something like 50/5, clearly a ganker. And since there's no attempt to rate players, there's really nothing to be done about that.
