Excellent game with some cool new features

User Rating: 9 | Call of Duty 3 X360
graphics: call of duty 3 is one of the best looking games out there. some textures are awesome, while others arent as good. but the thing that i really noticed, is the movement. the characters move very realistically, and the physics are intact, and quite nice. the soldiers seem to fall dead realistically. running, throwing grenades, boosting buddies over walls, firing weapons, everything just looks smooth and great. it isnt gears of war, but its very nice looking.

sound: this game has insane sound. the weapons sound awesome, the dialogue is loud, clear, and well done. the general atmospheric noises are just really hectic and make you duck for cover at all times. absolutely awesome sound, you will wanna crank up the tv for this one!

Gameplay: Call of duty games are great because the gameplay is easy, yet solid. it isnt the absolute best gameplay, but it is very well done and solid. i like new cookable grenades, and the battle actions make for some fun little "mini games" that sort of break up the gameplay a bit. overall the gameplay is fun, and will keep you playin for more.

Value: this is a biggie. the single player campaign is fun, and for me, is taking quite some time to beat. the hard difficulty setting is the way to play this game from the start. it is very challenging, and the enemies fire at you realistically. they are almost too good. you can not run and gun nearly as much as a typical cod game, because you will be put on your A$$ faster than you can even fire at the enemy. (on higher difficulty settings.) although i die all the time, and i am a very experienced player, im very glad i am playing through on hard, because the game is going to take a lot longer to beat. the online multiplayer is unreal. i think in many ways its better than call of duty 2, which is huge. it is very impressive, and very addicting. weapons are all well balanced. there are some new additions, such as player classes, vehicles, and new game types. the vehicles are fun, and all can be counter attacked. up to 24 players makes for big chaotic battles in nicely designed levels. i would have to say that treyarch 1-upped infinity ward on this title.

overall the game feels fun and is a challenge, the multiplayer offers some of the best multiplayer fun out there right now. if you like first person shooters, this game is a must have.
