Overall though, there’s no denying the pure entertainment of Medal of Honor Heroes 2. The game controls amazingly well with IR, is customizable to a ridiculous degree, includes impressive 32-player online play that runs far better than EA’s other online efforts, and even includes some casual-friendly modes with Arcade mode. The game looks beautiful, runs in 16:9 and 480p, and sets the bar extremely high for other Wii FPS titles, as it equips players with the customization necessary to suit each player’s unique tastes. Wii isn’t just about being casual-friendly, and Heroes 2 gets that. With more complex controls built in to the system, hardcore gamers will need more options and customization to make use of the technology, and Heroes 2 puts players in charge of how they want to experience first-person action on Wii. Of course, for those looking for a more casual experience, arcade mode is there, as is the “easy mode only” lock-on cursor control for quick targeting. We could go on for pages about the ups and downs of Heroes 2, but it isn’t necessary. What it comes down to is this: Great Wii games require a ton of passion and effort on the part of the developers. Rather than shoving something simple and thrown together onto a successful console, teams need to step up and put in the extra effort and fine-tuning that it takes to make something that really works on Wii. EA and Team Fusion were willing to go the extra mile on Nintendo’s console, and the end result is the best controlling shooter on the system, Prime 3 included. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 sets the bar for control, customization, and pure FPS gameplay on Wii - designers take note.

Once you’ve circled your last letter you’ll probably realize what we’ve been thinking all along, that Word Puzzle is a game that’s probably better left to pen and paper. The game offers solid variety and decent puzzle design, but at the end of the day you’re still doing with a controller that which is much easier and just as rewarding with a pencil. Word of advice, if you’ve solved every other puzzle book at your local Barnes & Noble and have no other brain stimulation for a month and a half, spend your 800 Microsoft Points here. If none of that applies to you then look elsewhere.

At the end of the day, if you enjoy touring car racing but have found the Codemasters TOCA series to be too cheesy and arcade-like for your tastes, Race 07 is worth your investment. It is what touring car racing is all about, right down to the weight-penalties given to the winning cars. Online play will help you find others to race with, and all the tweaking, tuning and customization options are there for you. In addition, expect to see other tracks, cars and skins put into the game by modders who have done this for each game SimBin has put out. The game will pay for itself many times over for the hardcore sim fan who treats these games as an investment in a sim racing career. But a title like this is not as likely to win over a casual racer, because little was done to cultivate new hardcore sim racing fans here.

Fish Tycoon isn’t bad, it’s just boring. The 3D fish and aquariums are well done, but the gameplay is dull, overly-complicated and everywhere outside of the tank lacks polish. The magical fish story aspect is regularly forgotten and selling a fish is probably more work than it would be in real life. Any aquarium lovers out there that just want to see fish floating around on their DS might get their twenty dollar’s worth out of this game. Everyone else should avoid it.

The Bee Game is an enjoyable platformer genuinely aimed at younger kids. It should hold no interesting for anyone old enough to play Pokémon, but for very young gamers it’s a great place to start. It offers most of the standard hop and bop mechanics, without focusing on gameplay elements that would be too difficult for its target audience.

For all the blah, repetitive mini-game jobs and the slightly weak overall presentation, Bee Movie Game holds up surprisingly well. It's definitely better than most licensed games ought to be, but your mileage with the game will largely come down to how obsessive you are about finding hidden trinkets in the exploration levels and how much you like zipping slowly around giant-sized everyday locales. One important thing to note: the PlayStation 2 version apparently suffers from a pretty serious glitch whereby it'll lock up while saving the game while saving, which can (and did) corrupt my save game, instantly washing away a good seven hours of play time and collecting. If you end up picking up the game, make sure you save on multiple files, or you'll be as bummed as I was.

Nobody needs this game. There are plenty of great action platformers to be picked up instead on the DS and GBA. Unfortunately, Power Rangers fans will have to continue waiting for a decent handheld rendition of the series. Even for longtime Power Rangers fans, this game is too ugly and poorly thrown-together to recommend. Dipping into a decade and a half of Power Rangers characters and mythology is a fun idea, but it’s not worth trudging through this sorry excuse for a game for it. Hopefully Disney Interactive will learn from it mistakes and require a little more polish and quality control in the next Power Rangers handheld release.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game. The single-player experience is easily Infinity Ward's best work to date. Calling it intense may be an understatement. The overall story is standard action movie fare, but the relationships built over the short five hours of play are surprisingly strong. Though the single-player lacks length, the multiplayer should keep you invested in COD4 for the long winter. This is a truly fantastic multiplayer offering that's as deep as any other online game available. Infinity Ward has done it again. Call of Duty 4 is a winner.
