Call of Duty 3 (PS3)

Is still an intense WWII experience
Brilliant sound
M�l�e combat is an interesting addition
Looks a bit bland (as compared to the 360 version)
Frame-rate issues
Doesn�t bring anything new to the table

Even though I’m pretty sick of the whole World War II genre, Call of Duty (CoD) is one World War II franchise that doesn’t make me want to curl up and die. Introduced way back in 2003 on PCs, CoD single handedly managed to breathe some fresh air into this dying genre with cinematic battles, intense action, engrossing scripted sequences and sound that would make your ears bleed (in a good way). Last year, Infinity Ward gave us an even better Call of Duty 2 for the PC and the Xbox 360 and apparently, the 360 version did so well for itself, it even managed to boost console sales to a certain extent, or so I’ve read.

Unfortunately for the third iteration, development has been passed over from Infinity Ward to Treyarch (Call of Duty: Big Red One, Ultimate Spiderman) as a result of which this game lacks the punch, the first two packed and to make matters worse, it’s completely abandoned the platform that launched this franchise—the PC—making a bee line straight for consoles; current as well as next gen. So after all this change is it still as compelling and intense as the first two and more importantly, is it fun to play or has it become as clichéd and crappy as other WWII shooters out there? Read on to find out...

The Less situations of SixAxis shows that they were like some LAST minute Additions to the PS3 version onto make it a little worth while.

Launch games can never be expected to be AMAZING! unless they are being worked on for YEARs and that too EXCLUSIVELY.

and obviously People who make cross platform games, will never want to utilise the POWER of each console(as it would take them MORe time and Money).. so they will just give some Basic and standard stuffs that both consoles can do and launch it..

OR they will release ONE version at one point in time and then work on the other onsoles version and release it later.

As far as mp goes, you have your standard deathmatch, team deathmatch and so on. It’s difficult to find a server and even once you do get on one, there are changes that you’ll be plagued with horrible ping.

as far as the visuals go, it is tough to program games for the ps3 as a result of which developers cannot utilize all its power. Hopefully, this’ll get rectified pretty soon.
