Guitar Hero III Review for the Nintendo Wii

Since the release of the original Guitar Hero, Nintendo purists have been grievously slighted as they've had to suffer through two long years without the awesome power of console rock. It seems appropriate that Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - the first game in the series to reach a Nintendo System - is hands-down the best Guitar Hero yet in many ways.For those who are new to the franchise, the underlying gameplay concept of Guitar Hero is really a stroke of genius. Wielding a special guitar controller, which features a strum pad and five different colored fret keys, you'll play along to songs by nailing a stream of rapidly approaching notes on-screen.The slick Les Paul style controller for the Wii is slightly different from the other systems.The remote is actually slid right into the backside of the Les Paul's body where it plugs in and is visible through the front faceplate. Messing up is more realistic as now when you hit wrong notes the sound will come right from the guitar via the remote's internal speaker instead of the TV.You'll be chugging the strum controls, running your fingers up and down the colored fret keys, and hammering the whammy bar like an unholy rock demon while shredding to some truly epic tracks. While cover tunes made up much of the track lists for earlier games in the series, about two-thirds of the 71 tracks in Legends of Rock are the original recordings.The most amazingly badass and brutally difficult track in the entire game will be a major sore point to those who cannot survive its might and a source of bragging rights to those who've painfully bent their mortal frames to master its hellish difficulty. DragonForce's power metal epic "Through the Fire and Flames" is included as a bonus track which is thankfully unlocked after beating the main game instead of making it into the main set list.

Medal of Honor: Vanguard for Wii Review - Wii Medal of Honor: Vanguard Review

Medal Of Honor: Vanguard
(Download Medal Of Honor Now)


To say first-person shooters based on World War II are a dime a dozen might be putting it mildly. There are still some great ones every now and then, such as Call of Duty 3 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but even the best WWII games are getting dangerously close to having their top-notch gameplay overshadowed by the Medal Of Honor Titles that give you the feeling you get from doing missions that put you in the middle of outstanding game graphics and a war like atmosphere everytime you play.

Step 1: Kill Nazi soldiers.

Vanguard places you in the role of Frank Keegan, a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne division. Each mission is set up with a bit of black-and-white footage narrated by Keegan, followed by a brief cutscene once the mission starts.

Even if you can look past the cliched mission objectives, there's plenty of other issues to bring you down. Enemy artificial intelligence is amazing.

One of the biggest problems is the hit detection for bullets. It routinely takes two or three shots to register a hit, pretty routine for most WWII games.

Like most of the other first-person shooters on the Wii, Vanguard has been saddled with awesome controls. The basic controls are fine, and being able to look around corners is a nice touch.

Medal of Honor: Vanguard looks pretty much like every other WWII game out there, though it looks a little better on the Wii compared to the PS2 version, thanks to widescreen and 480p support. The frame rate isn't all that fast, but it's usually consistent, slowing down only when things get really hectic.

With so many World War II games already on the market, its tough to stand out, but Medal of Honor give it a good try.
