Call of Duty 3
Date undefinedCall of Duty has been a longstanding shooter franchise that I just got interested into. As soon as I got over the fact that I couldn't play co-op with my best friend, I was pleased with a very immersive single player experience, with about 15 hours of gameplay. The destructable environments and the many weapons at your disposal are nice. Here are my Good, Bad, and Ugly on this game.
The Good:
A long campaign
Versatile; tank missions, machine guns, anti-tank guns, you name it
Decent selection of allies and axis weapons
Destructible environments
Friendly AI is actually half-decent
good multiplayer
The Bad:
AI can be dumb in some missions
Bad weapon balance: Bolt actions are much better than automatic rifles.
Friendly AI can box you in and prevent you from getting cover
The Ugly:
No co-op
All in all, this game is good for the $40 I payed for, but the lack of co-op is a head-scratcher although Im glad that Call of Duty 5 will have this feature included.

Date undefinedThe developers of COD3 also have done other console versions like COD Finest Hour on the PS2.
This time they have a more powerful console to work with, resulting in improved graphics and sound, but not many other improvements.
Lets get right to it.
Pros
- Good sound design
- Authentic settings and battles
- COD is a strong brand
Cons
- Unrealistic gameplay
- Enemies respawn infinitely
- "cardboard cut out" level design
- you can see into buildings, but you can not go inside
- Enemies respawn in this unreachable buildings
- most of the "war" is happening in areas you can not reach because
- the levels are linear w/ invisible barriers all around you
- Everything that happens is a triggered scripted event
- no freedom, stick the linear path to advance story
- Game plays more like being in a movie about war than an actual war
- you never feel in danger because you know that "big war" going on outside the invisible barriers is not going to touch you.
- levels end unexpectedly w/ a basic fade out

Date undefinedThis is my all time favorite PS3 game so far! This is one of the best war games I have played in a long time. If you like WWII games like this then definately get this one you won't be disappointed!
