Item Description

Frank Keegan's war begins with a fall. His C-47 is hit off the coast of Sicily, and moments later he is under canopy, drifting toward an Italian town full of enemy soldiers. That opening sets the tone for Medal of Honor: Vanguard, a World War II shooter built around the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne and the series' first outing on the Wii.

The signature idea is the jump itself. At the start of most operations you steer your parachute toward the battlefield, and landing on the drop zones marked by green smoke earns weapon upgrades and extra ammunition, while where you touch down shapes how the mission plays out. From there the campaign follows Keegan through four Allied airborne operations: Husky in Sicily, Neptune at Normandy, where he arrives by glider instead, Market Garden in the Netherlands, where he fights to capture the bridge at Grave and takes on a Tiger tank, and Varsity across the Rhine with the 17th Airborne. Thompsons, M1 Garands and captured MP40s keep the arsenal grounded in the period.

Budcat Creations built the Wii version around the Wii Remote, using motion for crouching, jumping, quick turns, melee strikes and reloads on top of pointer aiming, with a more traditional button layout available too. Michael Giacchino, whose scores helped define the series, is credited with the music, and up to four players can go head to head in split-screen across five modes, including Capture the Flag, King of the Hill and Scavenger Hunt.

Reviews at the time were mixed, with critics knocking its visuals and enemy AI, but Vanguard is still a fascinating artifact of the Wii's first year, when publishers were figuring out what a console shooter could feel like with a pointer in your hand. The parachute drops give it a hook no other Medal of Honor on the system has, and four-player split-screen is a feature many later shooters dropped.
