Now the best mode in the entire game to me, and pretty much anybody else in the world is the multi-player mode. The only problem is this is also a little disliked because according to the back of the box, the game can be up to four players. Unfortunately, even in the multi-player mode it is one player only, the whole way. Despite the fact that the back of the box is misleading, the multi-player mode is still an amazing mode that will keep you occupied for hours and hours. How does it work? Instead of using friend codes like all of the other online game thus far, it uses EA Nation, so you can play against anybody else around the world that has this game. You can still play with friends though, they just have to have this game too.

The mechanics of the online mode are simple, you first create an EA account. These are really easy to setup, maybe taking thirty seconds to two minutes depending on how slow you are when using the on-screen, Wii keyboard. Whatever you choose your account name to be won't be the name that will show up, rather the name that you can use to log in with on any MoHH2 game, on any Wii, anywhere. Once you've created it, you create a persona for the account, in which will show up as your screen-name in games. Once you've chosen your persona, you will be in the main part where you can select three things: Lobby, EA Leaderboards, and My Profile. Also, you can see how many people are currently online, how many kills and deaths you have, your current score, reputation, and your rank worldwide.

I'll start with My Profile. If you click on this, you basically are shown two options that lead to a FAQ and a tutorial on the whole online mode and your profile. The EA Leaderboards option will lead you to three more options. My EA Leaderboard, Top 100, and Weapon Leaders. The My EA Leaderboard option will show where you rank, and one hundred people with a lower, and higher rank than you. The Top 100 option leads you to the top one hundred players for MoHH2 currently, showing their persona, ranks, kills and deaths, and score. The last option under this menu is the Weapon leaders, which basically shows you who has the best total score using which weapons as the name implies. Now before I get to the Lobby option, I'm going to go ahead and tell you about the EA messenger. Once you've past the point where you choose your persona, you can press "2" on your Wiimote to bring up the EA messenger. Here, you will see menus such as All, Recent Opponents, Friends, Friend Requests, etc., which are pretty much all self explanatory. Let me explain how it works. By pressing 2 again, you can search for a player, such as a friend. It will bring up all of the persona's similar to what you typed in. By clicking on one you can select to send a message, give feedback, block, send friend request, and cancel. Most of these are self explanatory, but a few aren't. Sending a friend requests will make a blinking guy appear at the bottom left of the persons screen in which he will open up EA messenger, go to friend requests, and either accept or deny your request. Giving feedback basically means it will send a message to EA saying the person was cheating, had a good attitude, etc. to help the reputation category. Last, is the send a message option. Because the Wii is more family oriented, there is no voice chat, but to take it even farther to prevent potty mouths to send flaming messages, all of the messages are preset. Some are "I'm looking for a challenge; Great Game; Want to start a game?; I'll add you to my friends list" etc. Once sent, where the little man would appear after a friend request is now a little envelope in which going to all, you should see the player that sent you it and by clicking on it, you will read the message and you can reply with a preset message, or just go back out.
