    A great COD2 expansion pack plus some cool new features

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    What was GIANT
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Gameplay > The great gameplay mechanics of COD2 are at work here again. Great sense of weapon control and well designed controls make the game shine.

    Presentation > Better environments than COD2 and some pretty impressive smoke effects as well as sound effects. You're living it, great cinematic experience!

    Vehicles > Some pretty cool Vehicle sequences that add to the overall experience. Jeeps and Tanks are easy to drive and enrich the single player experience, definitely a plus.

    Veteran > You're participating in WWII and you appreciate how difficult it was and how easy you can die. It can get frustrating at times but it's not so unreal like some other games. It's hard but doable and it's one of the few 360 achievements that make you feel you accomplished something of value.

    What BOMBed
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Melee > A last minute addition that's really worthless. No game does melee like Condemned, everyone should learn from it.

    Multiplayer > Although COD is pretty popular online, I didn't really enjoy it much, FEAR multiplayer is 10 times better. COD's single player is much better in my own personal opinion.

    Story > Really poor job here. No reference maps to show where forces are and where you're really heading at the beginning of a level. No mention of how do the different armies' storylines tie to each other. It can be vastly improved, brothers in arms does a better job, not great but better. An event as important as WWII and the millions of references to it really leave no excuse for such a bad storyline.

    Achievements > Achievements in COD2 were more of my taste. I'm not a big fan of multiplayer achievements and I think finishing the game on Veteran deserves much more points.

    Save > No save anywhere, nuff said.

      CALL OF DUTY 3 1. STORY / GAME MODES Call of Duty is back and it’s 1944, at the height of the allies ever increasing dominance over Germany in World War II. This time around you will be taking on the roles of 4 characters each from their own country (, , & ) all of whom will be killing and fighting for their lives on the battlefield throughout your play. As a whole the story mode in Call of Duty 3 is somewhat disappointing. After the grand, epic and cinematic scope of last year’s game made...

      A Fine Addition to the Series! 0

      Call of Duty 3 (Gold Edition)(Xbox 360) by hexproof on August 14, 2008

      GAMEPLAY The game play on Call of Duty 3 is really fun and fast paced, with a couple of new innovations in it. On the main campaign, you play as four different story lines, there's the American campaign, British campaign, Canadian campaign, and the Polish Campaign. The single player campaign is pretty long which will last more than 6 hours on the first play through and has hours of replay value with the achievements and multiplayer. The game play is kind of similar as the other series with the w...
