Call of Duty 3 (Xbox 360, 2006)

Call of Duty 3 utilizes the same identical gameplay as Call of Duty 2. If you like part 2, I would definetely add this to your buy list for Christmas.

Let me break this down to categories:-

1. Graphics - 4.5 of 5 - Good eye candy game with lots of explosion everywhere. Video games players would appreciate the details put into the game.

2. Sound -4 of 5 - We all remember the loud and realistic sound from Call of DUty 2 right? Well, guess what? It is the same here with bigger explosions and more things flying around left and right.

3. Replay value 4 of 5 - After beating the single player mode, you can head on to the multiplayer mode and challenge a couple of people. Definetely a plus.

4. 1 player Campaign - 4 of 5 - Your team isn't totally smart. Same bug as part 2. There are acts where your teamates would just keep running into the mp-40 and get gunned down like sausages. Other than that, the occasional cover fire is there to help you advance. The vast majority of the campaign requires you to single handledly gun down nazis with your guns. Sometimes it feels like you goto solo. Dont expect your A.I. too help you out too much.

5. Multiplayer - 5 of 5 - The high point of this game. Get a live subscription and let the killing begin.

6. Difficulty - 4 of 5 - It is not that hard. Just take it slow and play with the same strategies you used in Call of Duty 2 and you should be able to beat this game in 10-12 hours of gameplay.

7 Overall 4 of 5 - A good game to own. A definetely a must have game for the World War video games advocate. It has gorgeous grahipcs, amazing sound as always, and the multiplayer is definetely a plus to give this one a must buy for christmas.
