There wasn't any other game on the XBox 360 I was looking forward to as much as Call of Duty 3. It was a solid launch title for the 360, and a firm multiplayer favourite still even now, so surely Call of Duty 3 should have stormed in and taken the crown as the 360's best first person shooter, but it hasn't.
I should point out that CoD3 is actually by a different developer, Treyarch. They made the PS2 and Gamecube versions of Call of Duty (Finest Hour and Big Red One), and while they were good, they weren't anything near as good as the PC games by Infinity Ward (who also made CoD2 on 360). I'm not sure why, but apparently both developers are going to 'take turns' at developing the Call of Duty games from now, with Infinity Ward making all the even numbered games and Treyarch making all the odd numbered ones. I haven't a clue why Activision (who publish all of them) are having them do it like this, but at least that means Call of Duty 4 should be brilliant.
But even so, Call of Duty 3 isn't a bad game, far from it; it's just trying to play catch up with Call of Duty 2, and despite everything it does well, it doesn't quite match it. However, the part that is significantly better is the visuals. The character models look much better, and overall it is more distinctively next-gen. The weather effects aren't dynamic (ie. it's all pre-rendered, so rain does fall through buildings, and mysteriously vanishes when you enter any etc.), but it does look fantastic. The smoke effects are even better than before, but the most impressive thing is the sheer amount of things happening at once. Although they're all pre-rendered again, there are some brilliant set-pieces, with buildings been blown to pieces and groups of soldiers fighting everywhere. It really creates a believable atmosphere that's miles ahead of any other WWII game. Your troops are actually helpful, and they do actually kill enemies. They'll warn you of incoming fire or grenades, but they usually don't advance unless they're following you, which is the only spoiler. But it means that the game doesn't feel like you're a one-man army out to save the world (much like Medal of Honor games for instance). You need to rely on your squad to pull their weight too, and usually they do.
The gameplay is almost unchanged from last time, and pretty much everything is exactly the same. However, they have tightened the controls, but at the expense of speed, which becomes more noticeable in multiplayer. And there are some unusual live-action video sequences which require you to press buttons to progress (or stay alive). I really like how it's done in say setting a C4 charge, as you actually feel like you are setting a charge, and it's a nice touch, but the surprise close-combat parts aren't as good. Basically, it's a reaction test followed by button mashing. It completely ruins the atmosphere, and it's totally unnecessary.
On a more positive note, the new vehicles are a welcome addition, and really quite good. The tank sections are also more fun, and help break the relentless action up a bit.
But the major reason I don't like this as much as CoD2 is because of the multiplayer. Granted, there are new and more focused game modes. You can use vehicles, and they even included bazookas, so how did they get it so wrong? Online it's everything they promised, but the offline mode is just ruined. Most of the vehicles are gone. You can still use bikes, but so much else is also cut down. You can't use smoke grenades for instance, which was always fun in CoD2. The stages are designed for full-scale 24-player death matches, so even playing 4-player split screen it becomes hard to find each other, and some stages you're lucky to even spot anyone at all. And the radar/compass is pointless - on CoD2 it showed where gunshots were coming from, and in CoD3 it still does; however, it is near impossible to spot, and most of the time it never shows up anyway, so finding each other is made even harder. Basically, they ruined what was our favourite part of the game, and as such, it is probably why I sound so negative about it. However, it is still undoubtedly better than the Medal of Honor series, and it is one of the 360's best first person shooters. It's just that the older Call of Duty 2 is much better.
I'm still unsure if I like the single player campaign better than Call of Duty 2's however. It is more visually stunning and has more brilliant set-pieces, but Call of Duty 2 is more varied and has some simply massive-scale assaults, which CoD3 lacks. I suppose which one you prefer is simply a matter of what you want from an FPS. Call of Duty 2 is more action packed and faster, Call of Duty 3 is more tactical and has a much better atmosphere. And although Call of Duty 3 has better online modes, Call of Duty 2 simply blows it away with offline multiplayer, and it is still our multiplayer game of choice on the 360.
So overall, it's still a great game, beaten only by its predecessor, Call of Duty 2.
Advantages: Sharp Graphics, fluid gameplay, pick up and play Disadvantages: Too short single player, story line ropey
A very brief setting note
The allies have landed in Normandy, they have fought there way off the beaches and are heading inland towards Paris and the liberation of the French people. Its July 19th 1944, and the battle for St Lo is about to begin....
I may as well get this out the way, so please take this into consideration. I have NEVER played any of the CoD games on any platform previously to buying this one.
Now, to the game. The opening sequences ... ...Arc de Triomphe at the start of the Nazi occupation in Paris. It is fully narrated, and goes on showing maps and sets a tone of the how the game will continue. It is a truly stunning piece of work by the creators.
By this stage i was licking my lips with anticipation to the opening level. Although i was aware that this game isn't a one man army type of game like so many other first person shooters(FPS), and that i would have a squad with me. This ...

...third outing of Activision's excellent Call of Duty series. So we're in familiar territory. This time the liberation of Paris is the goal.
You play four different soldiers on the side of the British, Canadian, French. Each playing a role in the same scenario. The action is in the first person as usual.
Conclusion

WWII has been covered a lot in recent years, some people are getting bored with them. I have to say though that I still ... ...to all of the other Call of Dutys to date, this time is Treyarch whereas it's usually Infinity Ward. So have they delivered? The short answer is, yes they have. This is probably the best WWII shooter I've played (and I've played a lot). It really feels like you are in the heart of the action.
Graphically the game is stunning, the attention to detail is excellent. The only dodgy aspect is the lip sync on some of the cut scenes but who cares about ...

Advantages: So many - graphics, weapons, gaming options, soundtracks, speed... Disadvantages: Lack of tank-scenes, lack of bazookas(!)
My dad received an xbox 360 (yes, he's truly a kid at heart!) from my Mother at Christmas and bought COD3. One of the most significant aspects you notice is the atmosphere of the game/scene, etc - it is brilliant! The explosions, firing, soldier's actions and debris are so realistic. A bit frightening you may think - how on earth will I succeed through all this on my own. But not to worry, help is at hand! As a player/soldier, you're part of a team/troop ... ...This is particularly beneficial on harder stages, when the battle is much more unpredictable, and so more cover is required.
Other than the varied difficulty levels, there are also a number of scenarios such as Africa, France and so forth. By the way, you are a British troop.
The special effects are not the only realistic aspect. The uniforms and weaponary such as guns actually look very real-life down to the smallest of details. On a similar note ...

This is possibly not the right console for the 'serious' gamer. Games like Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto or any other graphics based games are probably better played on the Xbox360, or the Playstation 3. However, if you just want to have some good old fashioned fun with friends or family, then this is the one for you.
I can't rate this console highly enough, I've had endless hours of fun on this machine, and I feel that for my kids, they are getting the excercise as well, that they would not be getting on the Xbox or PS3. If you decide to buy extra controllers, then the fun doubles on the likes of Wii Sports Tennis, when 4 of you are up on your feet competing against each other.
My partner has also found that the Wii has helped her to lose those extra pounds after recently giving birth, by purchasing the Wii Fit board. Another ...

The Xbox360 is undoubtedly a very powerful console but it does have it's flaws.
Although I would recommend purchasing one, you should also take an extended warranty, as this is a nescessity for the ongoing health of the console, as I discovered to my cost.
Myself and a few of my friends purchased our consoles in November 2005, all seemed fine until around June 2006 when the laser in the DVD-Rom went in one of the cosoles, this was duly taken back to the retailer and exchanged for a new Xbox360 console, as it was in the first 12 month period. Again in September 2006 the same problem occurred in another of the consoles, this too was exchanged.
The main problems started to occur just after the 12 month warranty had expired, in November 2006 I turned on my Xbox360 console and started to play Call Of Duty3, after around 10 ...
Advantages: Graphics, Game play, Array of Weapons, Multiplayer Disadvantages: Lack of Updates, Misleading Publisher
Prior to purchasing this game, I didn't really have much experience with the Call of Duty series. I had owned Call of Duty3 for the Xbox360, but couldn't really base my opinion of the series on one game.
So when I saw Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on the shelves, I decided to take a chance I buy it... and I haven't regretted it since!
First of all, the graphics in the this game are still top notch despite the game already been nine months old which is fairly old considering the ever-changing video game market. I can honestly say I have never been so "wowed" by the graphics on a game quite like I was when I first put this one into my console.
The game play - as with the graphics - can also be considered top notch even by today's standards. The vast array of weapons is unrivaled by 99% of PlayStation 3 games, the story is ...
