    This is a markedly better game than "Call of Duty 2: Big Red One" and the finest World War II gameplay on the current-generation consoles.
  2. Game Chronicles

    You simply can't imagine what Treyarch has done with the franchise until you see Call of Duty 3 in action. You'll wonder how they got all that game into an Xbox. They have really mastered the technical horsepower of the Xbox and advanced the series in every single way.
  3. Gaming Nexus
    91
    The next iteration of Activision's Call of Duty series, Call of Duty 3 for the Xbox, wrings the last dregs of capability from the Xbox aging console and satisfyingly delivers on the promise of an upgraded "Call of Duty 2."

    It's still a great ride; just don't expect to be as bowled over by it as you were when you strapped in for it last year. [Jan. 2007, p.72]

    The visuals are very well done and the sound is simply incredible, especially with the score it has.
  6. Game Almighty
    78
    While you're obviously not going to get the same experience available on your Xbox's big brother, the 360, the game is no slouch here.
  7. GameBrink
    68
    Take one part classic Call of Duty scripted FPS action, add in two parts improved level design, another one part updated graphics, and just about four parts upgraded multiplayer and you've got the ultimate Call of Duty stew.

    Probably the best of the series, and looks really good on my Xbox and standard TV. I do wish you could 'look around' in all the Probably the best of the series, and looks really good on my Xbox and standard TV. I do wish you could 'look around' in all the cutscenes the same way as in CD2:BR1 but that's not too important. The guns all have good 'punch' and I really like the frantic feeling of the game at normal difficulty without it being too frustrating. Doing away with conventional health powerups also makes it more immersive. If you don't have a 360 and an HD TV, it's the best you can get.… Expand
