    This is one of the best shooters I have ever played. The graphics are amazing in HD. the game play is also very good. But the game is so short. I am a casual gamer and it took me 5 hours to beat the game on normal mode. If you want your money's worth make sure you have X Box live or you will get tired quick.

    Good graphics and gameplay, but it's too short of a game.

    Really Good Game! Decent gameplay the whole way through. The only problem is the difficulty of it. I play on Normal and it is still easy.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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."
