| | Entertainment Reviews |  | Xbox 360 Review: Call of Duty 3 By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/5/2006 5:40 AM | | Call of Duty 3 is stuck in the position of doing everything a sequel should, but the genre continues to grow overcrowded. Online play can add the extra boost. Unfortunately, it's impossible to connect to a game. You'll spend most of your online time in a lobby waiting for a minimum of eight players (regardless of game mode chosen) to join. Those times are rare as other players are having the same issue on their end.

Call of Duty 3, has arrived and it's prepared to blow you away with some explosive gameplay, ultra-realistic graphics, incredible sound, and a few twists...Call of Duty 3 breaks new ground in several areas, both technically, and from a design perspective. Unlike last year's game where you bounced around from campaign to campaign, country to country, you now play a single campaign, the 1944 Normandy Breakout, one of the most crucial and brutal battles of WWII. Along with the US and British troops, Call of Duty 3 also introduces us to the Canadians and the Polish who also play vital roles in this campaign...The best thing I can say about Call of Duty 3 is that after playing I actually felt like I had been through a war. There were moments when I would catch myself physically ducking or leaning my body as I tried to look around a corner. I started to appreciate the men in my unit and a sense of loss when somebody was lost. Signing up and going off to war might not be for everybody, but playing this game will certainly make you respect those who did and those who still do. - Mark Smith
