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.
