CALL OF DUTY 5 WORLD AT WAR WII ISO PLUS

It's a nice short documentary of WW2 too, with some B&W footage of actual WWII battles mixed in with mission descriptions. It's kinda wasted because the Wii isn't able to display the graphics properly, but still. The scenery is done in done with a lot of attention to detail. POWs are tortured or executed, enemies burn alive from the flame thrower, etc etc etc. Bullets are flying everywhere, I really felt pinned down now and then. No matter if the enemy is far away or if they are actually just about to stick a bajonet in your back. There is constant screaming of 'Banzaaaai!!!' (when fighting the Japanese) and the volume is always the same. On the other hand, because I was usually storming the enemy positions they tend to throw the grenade right back on top of me. It's cute how team mates sometimes pick up a grenade and throw it back at the enemy though. Sprint for the checkpoint and suddenly all opposition is gone?!?!? Sometimes an ally and an enemy stand next to each other and they will be firing at targets far away from them. You can fight for hours while enemies keep swarming your position. To make matters worse, the scripting and AI in COD5 is just about as bad as in MOH2.

WTF?!?! Are you kidding me? Didn't these people understand that the biggest plus of Medal of Honor 2 and Metroid Prime 3 where the great control schemes? There are some different control settings and a bigger dead zone allows for a bit more light gun type game, but then the steering becomes impossible. Point the Wiimote left and the cursor slides slowly (or fast) to the left, point the Wiimote to the right and the cursor slides to the right. The game doesn't use the wiimote as a lightgun, but more as a joystick.

So, I was dying to play the new Call of Duty. Still, the controls were great and to me it was the perfect integration between a light gun shooter and an FPS.

Sure the AI was ridiculously dumb and the scripting was so silly that sometimes the soldiers would just pop-up around me (when I was hiding in a room).
