Call of Duty 3

This was the very first game I bought for my PS2, costing an outrageous 70 dollars, it's a good thing they don't cost that much anymore. Is it just me or was Call of Duty games fairly enjoyable on the PS2, they may of not been the greatest, but they had a certain charm to them.

The PS2: The game-play was much better than previous entries on the system. The game goes by much faster than the PC counterparts, and get's completely ridiculous with nonstop explosions and gun fights, this would latter become the standard format for the series. You get the regular WW2 guns that you know and love, the only new gun would be the trench gun, but you barely get to use it. The close courter battles were a nice edition, the best one is when you fight an enemy solider with a knife and grenade. There was a mission where you have to drive to your checkpoints, there is a few mini games where you have to set up some explosive charges, a little more variety here. The game is pretty good, but this feels less realistic, and more for young kids that could care less for what happened during WW2 and more about nonstop action.

The PS3: Since I only had it for a short time, this is going to be brief. It's just a better looking and more enhanced version of the game. There was one notable problem, the game glitched out at the start of a mission and you could walk beyond the boundaries and invisible walls, thats the first time I have ever got out of the map in CoD single player.

I have grown to like this game as time passes, it reminds me of a simpler time during the series, back when I used to care for the single player campaign. Check it out if you are interested.

This game is pretty good, but I liked both Call of Duty 2's better. But this was still a good game. The only thing that I think is bad about it is that there only 13 levels. In Call of Duty, there were 27, and in Call of Duty: Big Red One, there were 14. I would have given this a ten, but I took one star off for that. I also took one star off because at first, the levels seem like they are long, but after you play them for a while, you start to get bored and you realize that the levels aren't that long. I took another star off for that. But the rest of the game is pretty good. It has a really good story that follows the campaign that followed D-Day, and the battles through France between the Americans, British, Scottish, French, Polish, and Canadians against the Germans. It's a pretty good game that, I thought, was kind of a sad ending. Another good thing about it is that instead of fighting and finishing one campaign at a time, you switch off between missions between factions. This was a pretty good game. 8/10.

Call of Duty 3 was a very eagerly awaited game - I wanted it from the moment it came out. And though I wasn't disappointed with it when I got it, I couldn't help feeling that it wasn't exactly top notch. This may be down to the rather weakly-scripted cut scenes - the French, Scottish and British accents were a bit too thick and fake sounding and kind of made fun. And you couldn't help feeling that it was a bit unrealistic with jeeps flying through the air and elite Wehrmacht troops being slaughtered by peasants without armour. The maps are huge and the graphics are more impressive this time round, but the missions aren't hugely varied - what happened to the air and sea missions? (Although I haven't completed it yet, so I could be proved wrong.) The Germans are more aggressive this time round and the game does have a few different scenarios - as testified to by the occasional hand-to-hand fight with German soldiers and smoke grenades in your weapon arsenal. The game is also improved by the lack of health bar - in a sense, you have infinite health, but this must be utilised to the best of your ability. But this also makes the game a bit easier and less of a challenge. CoD 3 is a fun game and worthy to be called a Call Of Duty addition - but it's not perfect. They'll probably make a Call of Duty 4 before long - this could involve some fighting from the Axis perspective, but we'll have to make the most of this before then... 7/10

This is the most immersing game I've ever played. The graphics are awesome, the action appears realistic and you do have to fight to the death. I like the fact that this game takes place during the Allied push to rid the world of those dreaded Nazis. The only reason I can't give it 10 out of 10 is that the missions are, in my opinion, too short. It seems that you start a level and quickly finish it even at the hardest setting. Well, I guess I'm better than I think. Mind you, I also play on-line with friends every Monday night. All in all, extraordinary game with punch ! Also, it was great to actually see a King Tiger tank in the game giving it a more realistic feel to it as in reality, the German forces did possess some units of that dreaded armor in the field. Contrary to some other comments I've read about the game in general, I didn't find the various accents throughout it to be annoying or anything. Well, that's just me, I Guess !

Here are my pros and cons for this game

Pros 1. Still fun and enjoyful 2. Music is LIT 3. Strategic and amazing missions based in WW2 4. Better graphics released in PS3 5. Best characters 6. Different armies in this game (american, british, polish and canadian armies) 7. Multiplayer mode it's fun 8. It never gets boring

Cons 1. Gunshot sounds aren't realistic 2. Some guns aren't controllable, poor damage and low accuracy P.S MP40, KAR98K, STG44, etc etc

My conclusion for this game: Still playable and enjoyful, it never gets boring.
