[8.5/10] Fans of the Series will be satisfied, Haters will still Hate. The game have both fun SP and MP.
* STORY -- 90/100 --
The game takes place right after the ending of MW2 and progress very well with some great plot points and an amazing ending. Without spoiling too much the story is well told and well acted if you were wondering how it all ended MW3 finally reveals it.
* GAMEPLAY/ MP -- 90/100 --
Still one of the best military shooters out there, with responsive controls, a good mix of modes and weapons, plus an addictive multiplayer mode. While the Formula is Familiar with MW2 the campaign is awesome made and the MP does adds some new sweet modes like Kill Confirmed, my most favorite add in the game however is the Spec Ops Survival, in addition to the Spec Ops Mission mode like in MW2 there is a new mode called survival in which you face a waves of enemies, it is familiar with a Horde mode that is familiar in most games, MW3 shows Survival at its best and i liked every second playing it, leveling up and unlocking new weapons.
* AUDIO/ SOUND -- 90/100 --
The voice work and sound effects are top drawer as ever, although the script is dumb in places. Though that only matters if you aren't having fun shooting stuff and making it go boom. And also the irritating but funny "Kill Confirmed" never gets tired.
* VISUALS/ GRAPHICS -- 75/100 --
Some wonderful set-piece moments but the underlying engine is starting to look its age if truth be told, plus while most of the online action is flawless it can be hit with lag from time to time which, in a game of this nature, can be crippling. Its mainly disappointing cause with all of the money the series gross they already could have upgrade the engine. The level designs however are well done whether its in Paris, Germany or America i was impressed.
== FINAL VERDICT -- 8 . 5 / 10 --
The game is not as Revolutionary as Call of Duty 4 or even Modern Warfare 2, but it is fun and while the formula is getting old the new Campaign, Maps and modes added to the game are good enough to give this game a shoot.
