Call of Duty 3

yippe ki yaay good old call of duty i think this is why it never gets old because no matter how old it will be a great game will always be great

i got this game hopig it was good but i went on campian and it was hard to shoot, bad graphics and really anoying.i went on multiplayer and couldnt find the enemy and it was confusing the control scheme for driving

you can feel its age when you play

but it is still a fantastic game to play :)

Treyarch's effort at putting out the now apparently yearly Call of Duty title is a mixed bag. Graphically the game is OK. It does nothing special and occasionally suffers from a bit of slow down and jerkiness. The gameplay is largely similar to the others in the series with some sections being a lot of fun and others being infuriating.

The attempt to utilise Sixaxis also suffers from this, while at some points the use of Sixaxis is intuitive there are others where the action shown in the diagram doesn't seem to produce the correct result, so it's only by trial and error that you get through a section.

The story is decent, well, better than previous Call of Duty titles where story was almost non-existent. Rather than jumping around the various theatres of WW2, Call of duty 3 focuses on the actions of US, British, Canadian and Polish soldiers during the Normandy breakout. While this means that the levels tend to be fairly similar looking French villages the level progression is good, with some decent set pieces. One downside is that the cutscenes get boring quite quickly if you replay the game on a higher difficulty level and they are totally unskippable.

In summary, the game is decent enough. It has it's shortcomings and as it is quite short it's probably best to give it a rent first.
