Add in easy weapon switching and reloading via the d-pad and nice responsive movements with the nub and you've got a PSP shooter that lets you concentrate on the gameplay rather than on the controls.
You can also use the left shoulder trigger to aim down your gun's sights to be even more accurate. You can pop in and out of cover and fire short bursts and have reasonable chance of hitting your targets. In Heroes 2 this is not an issue because the cursor movements controlled by the face buttons are far more precise. You know the drill: the aiming cursor is to the right of your target so you tap the left button making it jump to the left side of the target, you tap the right button and it jumps too far to the right of your target, so you tap left. The problem with most games is that the face buttons don't give you very precise control. This is not a unique control scheme as far as PSP shooters go, but the difference in Heroes 2 is that it works pretty well. The default control scheme uses the analog nub to control your movement, the face buttons to control your look, and the right shoulder button to fire. So let's get the basics out of the way and start by looking at how well the controls work. This brings us to Medal of Honor Heroes 2, the latest World War II shooter to come to the PSP. You know that the system has a problem when the first thing that I think about when reviewing a PSP shooter is the control scheme - not the gameplay, not the weapons, not the graphics, not the AI, but the controls. How the company that pretty much pioneered the two-stick controller could have left a second stick off of the PSP is beyond me, and shooters on the system have always suffered because of this oversight. Each time I pop a new first-person shooter into my PSP I do so with some apprehension.
