Are you a first-person-shooter addict? Are you disappointed in the availability of quality FPS titles on the Wii? Well, pick up a copy of COD3 (Call of Duty 3) for a Wii-bit of fun, mate. Its better, in subtle ways, than its nearest competitor MoH Vanguard. COD gets the Wii remote and nunchuk system, allowing you to not only toss grenades, but to return-to-sender incoming nasties - if you are quick enough. Allowing you to drive jeeps, tanks, site mortars and howitzers-guns. Allowing you to fight hand-to-hand with the Gerries. Allowing you to "spot" tanks and artillary for air strikes. It isn't all run and gun... Your choice of weaponry spans across some 50+ guns, all stylishly represented with various levels of kick in the Wii-mote. The scoped sniper rifle plays prominently in the big finish, as does the bazooka. Unlike MOHV, there is more teamwork involved with the computer-operated soldiers. One of my favorite scenes is working with the Sarge to rescue a fallen soldier near the battle-line. Listening to your unit is critical, especially in tight quarters and when driving one of the vehicles -- a nice immersive feature. Another team-related feature, that you may not notice, unless you watch and listen, is that you are actually playing several different soldiers - unlike MOHV where you are one American soldier. COD3 places you with U.S., British, Polish, Canadian (Canuks) and French-resistance for a full-perspective of the battles. Unlike MOHV, COD has a tighter storyline with all of its battles and skirmishes leading up to the big finish at Chambois. COD3 for the Wii does not support any multiplayer features --unlike other-platform versions like XBOX-- either on-line or in side-by-side, such as death-match...which MOHV does. (Although, I found the death-match featurettes in MOHV to be trite.) The training for COD is virtually nonexistant, although the controls are not as complex as MOHV. (Returning-to-sender Gerry grenades is a skill that could benefit from some training, however.) The big-boss final scene in COD3 is actually realistic and doable, while the final scene is MOHV is simply exhausting -- finishing a game like this is rewarding. COD3 only saves at checkpoints; it does not allow you to save and quit anywhere you choose. While this is pretty typical of the Wii games, it is a real pain if Life calls or you just can't seem to target that last machinegeher (machine-gunner). One last feature that COD has is the interviews with actual WWII veterans who fought in the battles featured in the game -- this bonus may not appeal to the hard-core gamer, but I really enjoyed this part. Bottomline: if you enjoy the intuitive Wii-mote, are looking for a solid FPS title and would just as soon play in your living room instead of on the internet versus "professional gamers" ...Call of Duty 3 is for you.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is a great game that can be had pretty cheap ($15-25) here on eBay. Have been a COD fan since the first one on PC. This version for the Wii is very addicting and overall a great game, however I think I enjoyed the first COD on PC better. Perhaps it's the lack of online multiplayer play with this version, I don't know. Some of the weapnory is limited - no M1 carbine (my favorite!), no Colt .45. I did NOT like the parts where you're driving a jeep - I found it difficult to steer with the wii-mote/nunchuck. There are a few bugs here and there - I would sometimes get stuck in places unable to move and would have to start over or kill myself with a grenade. On one level the game would not let me have a weapon for the first minute or so of play. Besides these quirks, it's an awesome game; just had to get through the infernal jeep-driving stages. The combat dialog the Canadians have is pretty lame, I wanted to smack my fellow countrymen everytime they said "I gotta reload!" Why are you telling ME this? Do you want ME to reload your weapon for you? I'm a little busy punishing the Wehrmacht over here. Bottom line - if you're a fan of 1st person shooters and/or WWII history, at the prices you can find here on eBay it's silly NOT to buy this game. Parents (hey, I'm one!) - don't let the little childrens play this game, it's bloody. It's violent. It's not kid friendly. Mature audiences, enjoy!Vollständige Rezension lesen
Pros + Innovative controls put you in the game & get you involved. + Trademark 'Call of Duty' small part of a big war action. + Realistic weapons & improved sniping & better tank driving than the previous installment. + Intense gameplay througout the whole game. Cons - Doesn't stand up graphically to other next-gen versions. - No multiplayer whatsoever despite the Wii's ability for online play. - Lots of glitches that make the game almost unplayable on harder difficulties like the CPU always knowing where you are & useless teammates. - Shortage of checkpoints. Comments There aren't many improvements to the series but there are quite a few more glitches. These glitches are usually obvious & frustrating to deal with. You will also get tired of playing levels over on harder difficulties because checkpoints are so rare during big battles. Driving still needs some work & the series needs to break away from the traditional 1st person shooter by allowing you to take cover or sprint. Sprinting is available in multiplayer but never in the campaign. But getting shot trying to peak around corners gets old, especially when the enemy can hit you with blind fire. This is still a solid game though & plenty of intense Nazi-fighting fun. The Wii is proving that a new way to play can be fun & intense despite not being able to measure up graphically to other next-gen systems. Verdict Fun WWII game. Not a must have but if you are a fan don't pass it up.Vollständige Rezension lesen
im about 5 hours in. this, like all the other wii games i have (zelda, far cry, excite truck, madden 07) is a tough one to put down. once you get a hang of the controls, this game can be a really good time. as long as your not a graphics snob. granted, they could've done a better job on the graphics, but this system was designed to be imaginative and fun, not a graphical collossus. the little action commands (gun battles, planting explosives) can be a little frustrating, but there still is no part of the game than i can say wasnt fun. after playing this and far cry, id have to say i like far cry a little more, mainly because of the environment. but i gotta say, going back to regular console FPS isnt very cool at all after these awsome experiences. deffinitely pick this one up.
I bought Call of Duty 3 for the Nintendo Wii several weeks ago, and I enjoyed the game a great deal. The game is relatively easy to learn, and you are thrown into the thick of action in no time at all. The controls were simple and fun. The wii remote added a new level to first person shooters that hasn't been seen before. In a sense, it calls upon the old days of Duck Hunt, pointing and shooting at the screen. The only thing I disliked about the game was the shortness. I had beaten the game in only a few days on the normal setting. Like other Call of Duty games, there is nothing unlocked, so there is relatively little replay value. The game is so much fun that the shortness of the game is actually kind of disappointing. Overall though, I felt that it was worth the money spent.
