here is is again the 3rd installment of the call of duty series and one of the best aswell
Graphically, this game looks amazing. Characters though are a bit dull though - they look the same - but the enviroments are superb.The guns are cool and all the effects are also look so good , such as the smoke and explosions.A new addition i really like is the occasional rag doll affect on dead bodies , say if you just shoot them sometimes they fly up in the air , which though makes them fall dead more realistically.Another great addition is the way your view shakes and moves realistically when you peform actions such as reloading. The screen will shake about as your character moves his head around.But an anoying thing is that this really gay white thing comes on if you've being shot to much and a noise as though your earing aid is broke!!Reading this, that may not seem very impressive, but it really adds to the realism and intensity of the game.The only issue with the graphics i haved issued the warning with the blip of the rag dollness.
weapons
the wepons are basically the same as call of duty 2 but with some odd new weapons
The most notable changes are to the gameplay which include the new interactive activities such as rowing boats , driving cars, placing charges and getting into a cobat fight with a nazi.Except for rowing a boat , these are all pretty neat / or enjoyable , but none are very spectaculary unique. The melee combat is very simple and it's always a scripted event.You can never just decide to run up to an Nazi and engage in a intense melee combat.The melle combat though is neat , but it's a very minor part of the game.
a complaint i have with the gameplay is that the much needed of cut scenes. In call of duty 3 , to progress the story you are often shown these short clips whic are very annoying its just a long lecturing movie which you cannot skip!!This would be ok but these cut scenes are more for a history lesson not for a game(why do you think we bought a console?)Still this is a minor blip and it's not something that should not make you get this game.
I suppose that many will consider it's a good thing that the game has not changed much.I think the game is still very fun and i've played it for hours but i suppose though u would have liked to see a few more changes , just so that there was more to distinguish this game from it's predecessors than the graphics.Still the game is fun.

so i suggest buying this game as its great value for money and is really fun to play there arnt very many games which can capture the excitment challenging gameplay especially on a 360 where the graphics are a pure touch of class so i defo reccomend this game and its quite cheap you can pick it up for around 25 pound in january sales or about 30 pound so its not really tht bad
