Electronic Arts today announced Medal of Honor
Vanguard, the latest installment from EA's critically-acclaimed Medal
of Honor franchise which has been credited with pioneering the
First-Person Shooter (FPS) WWII genre when it debuted in 1999. Building
on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy and
authenticity, Medal of Honor Vanguard will be released in March 2007
under the EA brand for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment
system, as well as the Nintendo Wii.
Step into the boots of
Frank Keegan, Corporal of the 82nd Airborne Division and engage in
battles throughout Europe. From Operation Husky on the shores of Sicily
to Operation Varsity inside Nazi Germany, you'll fight behind enemy
lines in the epic WWII battles that turned America's first paratroopers
into heroes of WWII. Featuring spectacular graphics adding to epic
combat intensity, Medal of Honor Vanguard makes you the driving force
in the struggle to liberate Europe. As the first game in the Medal of
Honor series to be released on the Nintendo Wii platform, players can
expect Medal of Honor Vanguard to take full advantage of Wii's
one-of-a-kind controllers.
"Medal of Honor Vanguard features a
strong storyline told in classic MOH fashion," explained Matt Sentell,
Senior Producer at EALA. "We are really excited to offer this game both
on the PS2 and Wii, which will allow fans to experience MOH in a
completely new way."
