Not Groundbreaking, but good for the price.

So, another WWII first person shooter. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. However, Call of Duty 3 doesn't do anything that the others don't. It's your basic run around and kill *enemies* game. Not bad if that's all you're expecting. In fact, it's quite fun. You have your assorted WWII weapons, firing from the sight, killing wave after wave of the worlds most notorious army. If you are looking for a groundbreaking (or even engaging) story or flashy effects, this isn't for you.
In fact, you don't even play as the same character throughout the game. This is a good thing because you pick up as different soldiers commissioned (or drafted) into any of the allied forces, which introduces you to new (bad) accents and new (very cool) guns. It's bad because there is no way to develop anything past a mild indifference toward any of the characters. There is no anchor on which to develop characters or traditional story telling elements. In a game about the realities of war, this is kind of important. It's not so "real" unless you can somewhat feel the elation of victory or the helplessness of defeat... or the sadness of loosing a compatriot. I mean, it doesn't have to feel "real", but there was no effort at all to make anything more than run here, blow some stuff up, kill some *enemies*, run there, man a machine gun or spot for a tank... blow some stuff up, kill some *enemies*... Like I said, for the discount price, it is fun to play soldier. I just wouldn't recommend paying full price.

Not worth it

This game is worth renting. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't worth buying. The campaign at least kept me interested enough to complete it. The on-line play lacks considerably. It's downright boring. The grafix on this game clearly weren't designed for the PS3. If you're considering this game, I would recommend renting it first, and then buying Resistance Fall of Man instead.

The game has been very well done and anyone that likes an FPS with a story is going to like this title a lot. The graphics are ok but nowhere near what the PS3 is capable of. Content is excellent as are the history lessons. The range of missions and their variance make for a constant change on game play style and complimented with the range of weaponry. Characters actually respond to smoke like its smoke and frags like they are frags. The online play is mediocre at best and if you are "nat 3" you are going to have to punch some holes in the firewall.

If you have COD4 and have never played this, you might want to wait for the next installment. COD3 is a good game, but not as good as COD4.

i bought this game because my TV only supports 480p or 1080i and it was one of the few games that has 1080i as supported HD output or so the box says. when i came home and started playing it, my TV went to 480p. went to "www.activision.com/support" to find out that it was a misprint and the box should say it supports 720p only.

I loved Call of Duty 2 and 4, but this one really disappointed me. The story is short and it's all about the France campaign. The graphics are poor, are not better than a PS2 game. If you are a fan of WW2, buy it, but don't expect a incredible game.

Okay when I bought call of Duty 3 i was really exited. then I played it....... To be honest Call of duty 2 is really a much better game. Call of duty 2 actaually has better graphics lol. much better story. Call of duty 3 all about the liberation of France. it gets so boring. plus the multiplayer maps are horrible. In total Call of duty 3 is worse than call of duty 2 lol. But call of duty 2 is a great game obviously call of duty 4 beats both of them but anyways.
