Designed Specifically for the Wii and PSP and Featuring Support for the Wii Zapper
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2007--Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced Medal of Honor Heroes™ 2, a new game
from the critically-acclaimed Medal of Honor™ franchise designed
completely from the ground up for the Wii™ from Nintendo and the
PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system.
It's June 6th, 1944, and the war is in your hands. Step into the
boots of OSS Operative John Berg and infiltrate Normandy from behind
enemy lines to undermine the Nazi regime. On both the Wii and PSP
systems, choose to tackle all-new missions in traditional single
player campaign or engage in massive, 32-player online,
continuous-joining multiplayer battles where you can jump into the
battle at any time. The Wii version also features full support of the
Wii Zapper (name not final), allowing for a more immersive WWII action
than ever.
In addition to a full-fledged single player campaign, Medal of
Honor Heroes 2 also features an all-new mode designed specifically for
the Wii that simplifies gameplay for players of all skills levels for
easy pick-up-and-play action. This mode plays like an old-school rail
shooter -- the Wii moves you around, while you do your part--taking
enemies out and achieving objectives. For the PSP, Medal of Honor
Heroes 2 will deliver the most comprehensive shooter experience to
date on the PSP, with robust single player campaign and on-the-go
32-player multiplayer capability that allows you to battle it out,
anytime and anywhere.
From the same team at EA Canada that brought you Medal of Honor
Heroes for the PSP in 2006, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 will be available
this holiday for the Wii and PSP. This game has not yet been rated by
the ESRB or PEGI.
