Other than a few flaws, damn good war sim.
Gameplay: Like always with COD the game goes for a Cinematic feel. You get to drive vehicles, grapple with Germans, blow up Tanks, kill Germans, blow up Missle Launchers and kill Germans. Okay its not that bad but it is executed very well. And the first time you play through the levels it feels like you are in France killing Nazi's. But the problem is that everything is scripted, if a building explodes [unless you are in a tank] then it was going to explode, if you have to grapple a german, it will happen every time. The AI is quite good in COD3 but there are some glitches like them shooting through walls and your alies firing at the celing to hit them [sometimes it works] and that hurts a little bit. But COD is made to replicate WWII and it did a good job at that. Sadly there is no Multiplayer mode.
Controls: This is a mixed blessing for me. First off: The Aiming after you have adjusted to it works so well, and makes using the Analog sticks on the PS3/360 variants look prehistoric. But not all is good, the motions arent recived very well in some parts and it can be just plain evil what happens at times. It may of been that I sat across the room but planting bombs took a few tries to make some things work, and the Crowbar on a door, some things didnt work very well. And Driving the Jeep isn't very good [PS3 does it best] I personaly would of rather turned the Remote while using the Nunchuck to adjust my speed. But the worst part was the Grappling, it was so freaking hard to beat the Germans in there, and there were less than 10 of them so whats the point, but the results were sometimes satisfying [pulling the pin on a gernade and knocking the German through a window]. But the aiming makes up for it and after you get used to everything, the remote handles well.
Graphics: To those of you who have played the 360/PS3 one, looks a lot worse. But you will normaly be too focused on killing the Germans to focus on some bad texturing. That is really the only terrible part, some textures blow. But the Character Models and animations look good and the particle's look amazing, some of the best smoke I have seen was in this game. The good far outweighs the bad and you will only notice some bad textures when you are really close up. And the Weapons look very authentic.
Sound: Like always, the sound is top noch. The voices are bad sometimes but the Weapons and music are perfect sounding. It can be said that how a FPS game sounds can make it good or bad, then this would be an even better game if it was judged that way and even from a normal crappy tv Speeker this game sounds amazing, but play in Dolby Surround sound and it is gorgeous.
Replayability: Like I said before, no Multiplayer and everything is Scriped, that hinders the game, but if you like shooting Germans and looking at the extras that should be enough to keep you there.
Overall: Besides some bad graphics, Wii-Controls and the lack of Multiplayer [not evan a damn split-screen], COD3 replicates WWII in a great way and should entertain war buffs and prove that the Wii-Mote works quite well for aiming.
