The Plot-
You are an allied soldier for America (Nicolas), Britain (Doyle),
Canada (Cole), AND Poland (Cpl. Bohater) The game takes place after D-Day during the liberation of France. Your goal changes from mission to mission but varies from killing all the Germans to destroying fuel plants. It is very easy to check the goals at any time with the 1 button.
The controls-
The controls are amazing because you can actually point the gun using the Wii Remote at the enemies and shoot with the trigger, I'm sure it would be even better if you had a gun remote holder (which rigs up the trigger to the back). It is easy to switch weapons and move with the Nunchuck which also has jump and duck buttons on it. You can even hit the German soldiers by jabbing at them with the remote, which is only a good idea on easy, otherwise it is suicidal. The only problem is that it is hard to remember which button is for frag grenades and which is for smoke grenades.
Weapons-
The weapons are pretty good, although there should be more snipers and rocket launchers. It is a good idea to use the German weapons, even if they are inferior in some cases, because they are easier to find ammo for. The most common guns are the KAR98k and MP40. If you're lucky you may even get a MG34, which shoots almost like a mounted machine gun, or a FG42, which are only common on two levels. The FG42 can even have a scope.
Vehicles-
During the game you get to use a tank, a jeep, and an escape vehicle. The tank is the most fun to drive, but you only get to use it in the Black Baron mission. The Jeep is hard to steer at first, but you jet used to it and it gets pretty cool.
Combat-
The combat in the game varies in difficulty through the levels and skill levels, but it is always fun. You can play on Hard and have to lean out from walls to avoid being killed, or on easy and run up to Germans and beat them with your rifle.
Cons-
Can't skip the movies and they even play if you resume from a checkpoint
There is no multiplayer in the Wii edition of the game
The characters keep yelling the same phrases "FALL BACK!" "Thats one less to deal with" and "GERMANS! IN THE OPEN!", or in the case of Germans "Hier ist ein Geshenk von der Deutsche Armee!" (here is a gift from the German army)
