Flawed design make for a boring linear passive experience. 
2008-08-11
The developers of COD3 also have done other console versions like COD Finest Hour on the PS2.
This time they have a more powerful console to work with, resulting in improved graphics and sound, but not many other improvements.
Lets get right to it.
Pros
- Good sound design
- Authentic settings and battles
- COD is a strong brand
Cons
- Unrealistic gameplay
- Enemies respawn infinitely
- "cardboard cut out" level design
- you can see into buildings, but you can not go inside
- Enemies respawn in this unreachable buildings
- most of the "war" is happening in areas you can not reach because
- the levels are linear w/ invisible barriers all around you
- Everything that happens is a triggered scripted event
- no freedom, stick the linear path to advance story
- Game plays more like being in a movie about war than an actual war
- you never feel in danger because you know that "big war" going on outside the invisible barriers is not going to touch you.
- levels end unexpectedly w/ a basic fade out
PS3 Must Have! 
2008-07-06
This is my all time favorite PS3 game so far! This is one of the best war games I have played in a long time. If you like WWII games like this then definately get this one you won't be disappointed!
It is a great PS3 starter!

Let me begin by saying, one of the other reviewers said this was a great way to begin your PS3 experience, I completely agree. I got my ps3 a few days ago, and it's the first shooter I played. I hope the next shooters I buy can keep pace!
To begin with, the graphics are ok but not really amazing. However, the story line and in game videos will really draw you into the thick of things. You'll really want to defend your colleagues, even if you don't think so at first. The gameplay is engrossing, and the controls, while not great, are sufficient. You will get many opportunities to use the sixaxis feature of the controller, so in that sense, it's a great introduction.
The elements of the game are comprehensive. You'll walk, run, drive, command tanks et al. I haven't even gotten to play the game on-line yet, so I won't review that feature, but expect it will be fun. My sole complaint is sometimes the AI leaves you to do a lot of the work, although you could just sit around and wait for them to do it. I might have to clear out a whole three story house with 16 Nazi's in it, my teammates will trail behind and shoot one or two of them. This is where not being able to give commands hurts, but I understand that wouldn't fit the nature of the game. All in all, I put two thumbs high in the air for this one.
GREAT GAME!!!!!!! 2008-04-26
This game has 14 levals of fun that you can play over,and over again. It is better than CODFH, and COD2. First buy this game than go buy call of duty 4.
COA4 is more fun

The game is good don't get me wrong it is also entertaining to play. The thing that ruins it for me though is the lousy way the weapons translate the way they aim. That is done mush better in COA4
Call of Duty 3 2008-03-12
Call of Duty 3 delivers the intensity of World War II combat closer than ever. In this next-generation game, you'll experience the Normandy Breakout -- the historic campaign that made the liberation of Paris possible and brought the Allies a step closer to Berlin. Travel with four ordinary Allied soldiers -- American, British, Canadian and Polish -- as they're thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for unprecedented combat, with advanced High-Definition graphics, detailed Character animations and explosive on-screen action. Call Of Duty 3 delivers the most immersive and cinematically intense war experience ever. Play as an infantryman, or commandeer multiple-occupancy vehicles like tanks, jeeps & motorcycles
Good graphics but??? 2007-12-25
Got this game as part of my console purchase (along with R:FOM).
Have been playing it exclusively for last few weeks after finishing COD1 and 2 on PC. Only playing single player version.
Pro: Excellent graphics and sound.
Con: Excessive use of Sixaxis gets tiresome and repetitive. Example: twisting the joysticks to control mortors/heavy weapons where simple movements would be more effective particularly when FPS targeting is somewhat troublesome with this controller. In the level using a heavy weapon to destroy tanks/armored cars, the cursor went where it felt like and could not lead the targets for a decent kill chance. AI has continues parades of enemy, floating enemy, and own squad members moving into firing line and grenade toss area. The story line is inconsistent where one level you are American, next Polish, next French Reisistance. Very poor compared to original versions.
I recommend not buying and will unload this when I finish single player.
The usual 2007-10-29
Not much is different with this FPS, but it's fun and the online gameplay is smooth. Tough to beat for only $30.
Muy Bueno!! 2007-07-23
Muy Bueno, excelentes gráficas, aunque un poco sencillo de pasar, lo pase en una semana
Good Game 2007-07-06
Good game overall, the single player missions are a little run-of-the-mill, nothing new or real exciting. I mostly play online multi-player. Fun game overall.
