Call of Duty 3 is a good game, but not the expected knockout.
As I went through playing Call of Duty 3, I kept getting the feeling I had been there, done that.
Don't get me wrong; Call of Duty 3 is a good game, with good graphics, and a fun multiplayer. It's just that this game is almost too much like the "generic World War 2 shooter," and Call of Duty 2, for that matter: you go into the mind of a supposed unknown soldier and fight in his or her body throughout many military battles. You travel to a battle, fight, and win. When all else fails, at least you get the chance to drive motorcycles and jeeps in Call of Duty 3.
Multiplayer in Call of Duty 3 got me hooked, and for good reason. The addition of jeeps and motorcycles in multiplayer was a great decision by Activision. There is nothing better than running around in jeeps with your buds. I also liked the fact that you can choose your weapon and abilities before each respawn. You can be a medic, heavy gunner, light gunner, and many more. You can strategically change your weapon and abilities contrary to current gameplay. For instance, if your opponent has a tank, you can become a character that wields a bazooka. Game modes are also plentiful, and kept me interested.
Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that COD 3 is a good game, but differs little from other WWII games and Call of Duty 2, other than the Xbox Live aspect, of course. Call of Duty 3 is an ideal game for Xbox Live players or people that like multiplayer shooters.
Call of Duty 3 is a lone grenade in the world of shooters, not an atomic bomb, as I expected.
