Overview
You control Sergeant Frank Keegan, a paratrooper assigned to Allied airborne units fighting Axis forces in Europe. The campaign spans ten missions across Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Germany, mixing infantry firefights, demolition work, and parachute drops. A split-screen multiplayer mode adds a handful of competitive game types for up to four players on one console.

Why it matters
Vanguard is part of the long-running Medal of Honor franchise that helped define the World War II first-person shooter genre in the early 2000s. The Wii edition brings that series to Nintendo's motion-capable console, making it a useful example of how established shooters were adapted for the platform in 2007.
03
The physical edition
A complete copy generally includes the Wii optical disc, a standard retail case, and the instruction booklet. Specific packaging contents, manuals, and regional variations can differ, so verify the exact edition before purchase.
04
Playing it today
The game runs on Wii hardware and supports both local play and split-screen multiplayer for up to four players. It uses the Wii's standard controller for aiming and movement, so expect a fixed, console-era shooter experience rather than modern motion-based controls.
