Authentic WWII weaponry is once again carefully recreated, so you'll get the usual collection of M1 Garands, Thompson submachine guns, BARs and more.

You'll be tasked with taking villas, rescuing POWs with the French Resistance, attacking German strongholds, and even chasing down a German tank ace.Īs before, the game finds a comfortable balance between realism and playability. The game takes place during the crucial Normandy Breakout Campaign. You start out as an American and will eventually play as a Polish tanker, a Scottish member of the SAS, and a Canadian soldier. You get to play as a variety of Allied soldiers from different countries as they fight to bring an end to the Nazi menace during World War II. That doesn't mean this is a bad game it's still better than the majority of first-person shooters on the market, but it lacks the polish of the previous games and has a few unique flaws that are all its own.ĬoD 3 stays true to the Call of Duty formula. This may be why I found CoD 3 to be the weakest out of all the CoD games. Infinity Ward, who did the original CoD and CoD 2, is tied up in another project. The developer of this title is Treyarch, the same guys behind Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Ultimate Spider-Man. Now, about a year later, Call of Duty 3 is here, and it has decided to skip the PC altogether.īeing MIA for the PC isn't the only big change. Its sequel, Call of Duty 2, made its way to the Xbox 360 and gave the PC version a run for its money in every department, and some would argue that the Xbox 360 version was superior. The original Call of Duty for the PC was a fantastic shooter that kept a nearly perfect balance between realism and fun while providing a solid multiplayer experience at the same time. You came here for a real review, so let's get on with it. To that end, I could just say, 'Yes, Call of Duty 3 is a fun game,' and be done with it, but we both know that's not going to happen. What you want to know about Call of Duty 3 is whether or not it's fun to play, and I'm going to answer that question.

I'm not going to make fun of Nazis, and I'm not going to talk about how we'd like developers to start working on new settings. I'm not going to lament about the amount of WWII games that are currently in the market. With this in mind, I've decided to approach this review a little differently. To some people all these games may seem to blend together and all the reviews may sound the same. I know there have been a lot of World War II games.
