Call Of Duty 3 (Nintendo Wii) Reviews
Call of Duty 3 is a fun game. I myself have never been good a first person shooter games and was doubtful on whether I would like this game. However, the ability to aim with the remote made it seem much more natural and fun for me. I was able to start feeling like a pro after the first couple missions.
The game has some rough spots. Its frustrating to use the reomote motions to do things such as plant explosices as the game doesn't seem to pick up the motions very well, in those situations. I found myself frustrated having to repeat motions alot. The game is also shorter than I expected as I had just finished Zelda and was expecting more gameplay but the couple weeks of fun I got out of it (one mission or so a day) was worth it over all.

As a Wii owner, I must say, this game is thrilling. It's just plain fun. I myself was taken aback by the graphics (this is the best looking Wii game I know of), the incredibly complex envionments, and how much I got into playing. With the Wii remote, you'll no doubt be jumping around the room shooting here and there.
The downside? Well let me elaborate a bit on the controls. People say they stink. Truth is, they don't. The basic controls are fantastic, and it makes playing that much more fun. However, there are moments (and I mean just moments) in the game where you have to, say, wrestle a gun away from an enemy. But the game couldn't make it easier by showing you exactly what to do with your hands. Don't underestimate, really do what they tell you to do. Get into it!
It's a fantastic war game, it's really well put together, and for the Wii, it looks great. Don't listen to people who say this doesn't look good, because it's one of the very few must-have Wii games around so far.

I have not done many first person shooter games since DOOM and Quake for the PC, and I have not played many console games (besides Halo at my brother-in-law's house). Bearing in mind I haven't played many console games, I have enjoyed COD3 a lot. The game has enough variety and is challenging enough to maintain my interest. The controls are fairly easy to learn, and controling jeeps and tanks, etc. is fun.
