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.

Call of Duty is the best game that you can get for the Wii with its launch titles. Except for Zelda TP, of course. The story line is incredibly well developed as you lead the ally forces in their liberation of France. The game utilizes all aspects of the systems capabilities as you use the unique motion sensing capabilities to drive a jeep, plant charges, aim a mortor, and even fire your own weapon. The graphics are not quite comparable to those of the PS3's or the 360's, but it never becomes an issure. This game is incredibly fun and I would strongly reccomend it anyone.

We've all seen world war II games. Call of duty 1 and 2 were amazing. Call of duty 3 was more of the same and it just got worse with the Wii version. Here's why:

-The Wii remote has been able to make even the most medicore game a hit. examples include dragon ball z and excite truck. However that's only because the controls were able to work right. The controls on this game are frustrating. The nunchuck controler is used as your look finder and more often then not the cursor goes way off screen. So you end up spinning everywhere. What fun is a game if it doesn't control right?

-The graphics are game cube quality at best. Realistically, it's more like N64. You can see the polygons all over the screen and you don't get the feel of crispness that the 360 and PS3 offer.

-There's no online support like the other systems. I've said enough.

-On the upside, The game does have intense firefights. Sadly the poor controls and lame graphics cause this one upside to be quite underwhelming. Plus the lack of Online multiplayer causes the firefights to lose their replay value.

IF you must play the next installment of the series. Play it on one of the other systems.

This game lives up to the CoD name. That alone should describe the depth of the story and the dramatic plot driven encounters. Any true CoD fan will enjoy it. That, however, is the end of the similarity.

The controls on the Wii are horrendus, not to mention tiring. To look, turn, and aim you had to point the Wiimote at the screen. I used the Wiimote to the capacity in Twilight Princess and it worked great, but that was only because it was used sparingly. In CoD 3 your are requried to keep your hand pointing there. If you prop your arm up its not to bad, but your arm will become quite fatigued.

I think what I didnt like the most was that there was very little forgiveness in the game. If I point at a guy and my hand moves or shakes, which my hands do constantly, you miss. It is near impossible to actually kill someone. I made it through the levels but it wasn't easy and it wasn't fun.

Basically, if you can hold your arms straight out for hours on in and you have hawk like percision then this game is def for you. But if you can't or you have the smallest tremor in your hands then do yourself a favor and pass it on by.

I haven't played many call of duty games, but since I decided to get a Wii i figured my style of gameplay would open up new horizons for me.

Call of Duty is a great game, tastefully done to represent WWII's invasion of Normandy Beach. The gameplay and shooting is spectacular with the Wii. Also, the interactive touch of getting the player involved past the point of "just shooting" with a conventional controller has evolved with the "Wiimote". They could have made it a little more interactive, however, I must say that when a German soldier surprises me behind a wall, I do like the fight sequences.

When a soldier surprises you, you have to fend him off with a series of motions (which do get a little old -- they should have just made random series of motions to make it a little more difficult to figure out). Shooting along with the soundtrack made it a stressful situation, and when I get butterflies in my stomach from a video game that is always a good thing.

I finished the game in a little under a week, with heavy to moderate gameplay between work and play. A 2-3 hour stint on the Wii was considered a very long one. I would recommend buying then selling the game, or renting it out for a prolonged time.

I bought this game, thinking that it would be fun(regardless of the multiplayer, which, by the way is unacceptable). The truth is, the "coolness" factor wears off extremely fast, and then it just collects dust. Out of all the Wii games I've played, this is, by far, the worst.

found this game great right now kinda stuck on ending keep getting either killed or blown up the timer is very hard

I never thought I would be able to get into the Call of Duty series but that changed a little over a year ago with World At War. After I finished up with World At War I was hungry for some more and I picked this game up and I got to say it is a lot of fun.

The graphics are pretty good for when it was made. Character models and particles such as smoke and fire look good. The level design is superb and better than most shooters on the market. Also the cutscenes look nice and are well animated. Sound like most COD games is nothing short of excellent. The voice acting is great and it is cinematic enough and some of the characters have some funny lines along the way.

Gameplay is fun and if you have played a Call of Duty game before you kind of know what you are in for. The way it works is enemies respawn until you reach an invisible checkpoint by following the mark on your compass. Once you hit the checkpoint the enemies stop respawning in that area and you move up and repeat this process. The scripting of the enemies is pretty good.

The aiming controls are good but not perfect. If you have played a Wii FPS you will kind of know what to expect. They work good for aiming but they are not as good as games like MOH 2. The motion controls work most of the time but this was released early on in the Wii lifespan so at the time developers thought every single aspect needed waggle and thank god developers have learned not all motions will work good enough.

Overall this is a very good game. It has a few shortcomings such as the controls are not perfect. It lacks all of the multiplayer modes of the other versions but it is still a very fun game. There is concept art and other things you can unlock also as you progress. I recommend this game to anyone that enjoys the FPS genre or anyone looking for a good game to pick up and play once in a while.
