IGN gets the goods on Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for the Wii

IGN Wii: How is the Wii version of MoH Heroes 2 different from the PSP one, aside from the obvious control changes? In other words, is the content the same?

Matt Tomporowski: While the similar in some design aspects, they have also been custom built for each platform. The biggest difference that you'll see on the Wii is an all-new casual gaming mode designed specifically for the Wii that simplifies gameplay for players of all skill levels for easy pick-up-and-play action. This mode plays like an old-school rail shooter � the Wii moves you around, while you do your part�taking out enemies and completing your mission objectives. The Wii version also features full support of the Wii Zapper (name not final), allowing for more immersive WWII action than ever. We're excited about the innovative new way of playing an FPS with a peripheral like the Wii Zapper, so Heroes 2 fully supports Zapper controls in all of our game modes, including multiplayer. Our standard controls in the traditional FPS single player campaign mode use the Wii remote & the nunchuk extensively, which has allowed us to create a unique and immersive way to experience the weapons and action of WWII like never before with action gestures. Finally, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 on Wii includes an extra level for both of the single player modes.

The Executive Producer of Medal of Honor : Airborne, Patrick Gilmore talks to the guys over at Xbox.com

Xbox.com: What exactly makes Medal of Honor Airborne a unique gaming experience?

Patrick Gilmore: Airborne breaks the formula of linear shooters. Most first-person shooters (FPS) put the player in a twisting graphics corridor, lurching him along from one shooting gallery to another, like an amusement park ride. We were determined to add tactical choice and freedom to the great core gameplay of aiming and shooting.

As a result, players never start where a designer tells them to. Instead, they start in the air, above the battle, and can choose where and how they want to attack. The game offers complete freedom of choice, and the systems we've put in place, from the A.I., to battle lines, to enemy cooperation, to a "command layer," all adjust and react to player decisions. If you make some dangerous choices and die, you will respawn in the air, with a new set of tactics available.
