Default Call of Duty 3

First Up: Call of Duty 3 by Activision.

This is a WW2 FPS Game. You are a soldier in battle, using guns and grenades to fight your way to victory.


A showdown from joystiq: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/06/jo...all-of-duty-3/


Why Wii: As will be the theme in these showdowns: control, control, control.

Quote from the above article:

"Finally, we were taken into the Wii dungeon and handed a nunchuck, a Wii-mote and told to enjoy. Holy disorientation, Batman! It was like playing a totally different game. The Wii-mote points, aims and fires your gun, spins your character around and also handles reloading through an upward flick of the wrist. The nunchuck moves you around via the thumbstick and lets you toss grenades with a throwing motion. You can also flick it to the left or right to change weapons. You would accuse us of drinking and Wii-ing if you had seen our first two tries at the game, spinning in place and lurching around like Mel Gibson on a Malibu highway. Once we got things under control however, it was a lot more enjoyable playing the Wii version."


Why 360: Great graphics and awesome multiplayer

Why PS3: Also great graphics on par with 360 and makes slight use of SIXAXIS to give it a little more control feel than 360


Their conclusion:

"Summing up our day at war: the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game are graphically different from each other, but they both look and feel extremely similar to CoD2. The real difference is in the tweaks to the gameplay. The multiplayer on the 360 was leaps and bounds ahead of the last game, while the Wii really put the game in your hands with their controller. Which one is the best value? If you want multiplayer, you'll have to get the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions, because it won't be supported on the Wii. But if you want innovative gameplay, get the Wii and shake your hands in the air like you just don't care."
