So the first time I rented CoD3 my 360 was in for repair so I couldnt play it, but I have played the Wii version and didnt care for it at all.
Now I loved Call of Duty 2, it was an exciting thrill ride through WWII's most bloody battles. For its time the Graphics Were great, and the gameplay was good.
Well I got my hands on Call of Duty 3 for the 360 again...and Im dissapointed. The visuals are slighty enhanced and the Guns look nicw and shiny as ever...but thats it. The PS3 and 360 versions are better than the Wii version..but still dont cut it for me.
There just isnt enough detail and new things put in to CoD3. When you throw a grenade into a house, full of nazis you expect things to go flying every were...I mean its a grenade for Christ sakes. The out side physics are improved with crumbling walls etc. but the indoor levels look drap and physicsless, and the game play over all is just getting stale. To many WWII games coming out...how many bloody exciting battles are left?
I find CoD3 just to be more of the same from CoD2, but its prettier.....its hideous on the Wii though, and I know the Wii is capable of better. I love FPS there are my 2nd favorite genre...but this one falls short. I actually enjoy Brothers in arms on the Original xbox better...why I dont know.
This is next-gen gaming and I just dont think that gameplay wise that this WWII FPS genre has caught up yet. Same scripted physics, semi-ok A.I., decent visuals, stale story and gameplay.
Perfect dark 0, Quake 4(unfortunetly), Resistance, Prey(decent), those are all great FPS, even though Quake had Framerate issues and Prey is on a semi-outdated engine, even with those problems all these games had a good A.I., un-scripted physics, and a fast paced, action oriented experience, and actually Perfect Dark and Resistance(resistance especially) require some thought and not just rushing in and getting killed.
CoD3 just seems like an aging game with good looks. the actions fast enough, but not good enough to keep me hooked. This is another one Im glad I rented, and Im not just talking 360 here either. All 3 version are equally boring.
