Some of the other controls that were really cool include grenade tossing. When you switch to grenades, by pressing A you can pull the pin and "cook" the grenade. This way, once thrown it will blow up about the same time it hits the ground, not letting anyone escape from it. Throwing grenades is where it gets fun. You hold the trigger button and a little blinking, yellow target will appear somewhere on your screen, depending on where you are looking. From there, you bring the Wiimote up vertically, and flick it forward. Depending on how fast and hard you flicked it forward, the grenade will travel farther. To reload, you have an easy way, and a fun way. The easy way is pressing up on the D-pad, but the fun way is flicking the Wiimote up. Again, it feels really cool to do this. There are a few other tricks using the innovative controls such as the melee attack, where you thrust the Wiimote and nunchuck forward (or just press Z on the nunchuck), or doing an "About Face", basically a 180 degree turn, you hold C while not zoomed in, and flick your nunchuck to the left. This is great for enemies that are behind you that you want to surprise.



Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is one of the first, and one of the few games out on the market that allows you to use two completely different control schemes. One is the Elite controls, which I explained all of the nifty little tricks that are possible when using it above, but the other is the Zapper control scheme. The Wii Zapper has gotten plenty of bad reviews, and almost no good reviews or feedback. A lot of people won't listen to the reviews and buy it to see if what they say is true. Let me tell you something though, the Wii Zapper works really well in some places, but not so much in others. In this game, because holding the zapper correctly means no access to the face buttons on the Wiimote, a few things were changed. What was the sprint button before, C, is now the button used to crouch. To sprint you have to tap up twice on the nunchuck's analog control stick. Also when using the Zapper, you are pretty much forced to flick it up in order to reload. There were some things that were unchanged though, such as zooming in with A, shooting with B (but now it feels like an actual gun), and switching weapons using the left and right on the D-pad. Some of the innovative controls were taken out of this mode though, including the bazooka aiming, sniping's zoom, and throwing grenades now always travel the same distance.



There are also more controls for things in other modes, such as the Campaign mode. You will run into many thing here that require a few, "Campaign Mode Only" controls. One of these is using a radio. There is a radio in almost every level, and is actually pretty fun to use. When you go up to the radio and press "-" to use, you will have 30 seconds to find the hidden OSS frequency, which is always different. Usually it will be saying some such as "Come in Eagle! Eagle, are you there? Come in!" To tune in to the frequencies, you have to turn the Wiimote vertical and use the motion sensitivity by leaning it left and right until you find the right station in which you'll press A. There are a few other radio stations including a music station, so that's another cool thing added. You'll also run into many, heavier type weapons that you'll need to use. Some are huge artillery in which you turn around a wheel by moving the nunchuck in a clockwise/counter-clockwise motion to turn, and then B to shoot. Mortars are turned using the Wiimotes sensitivity, and changing it from leaning up to down is used by the analog stick. MG42's are held by putting both the Wiimote and nunchuck up vertically, and turning them both left and right to aim. Also, a campaign mode only feature in the easiest difficulty is the lock-on system. By aiming the cross-hair at an enemy, then press Z on the nunchuck it will lock on, so you can move around while shooting and still ensure a hit!
