    Call of Duty 3 was one of the first first-person shooter games released for the Nintendo Wii in 2006. While the developers incorporated motion controls like rowing, the port of the game from more powerful consoles resulted in rushed controls, noticeably poorer graphics, and frame rate issues compared to versions on Xbox 360. However, the game still offered a great story for the Call of Duty franchise. Overall, the review criticized the game's lack of multiplayer, poor graphics, glitches, problems with the motion controls, but acknowledged it was one of the early Call of Duty titles for the new console.

    CALL OF DUTY SERIES REVIEW

    CALL OF DUTY 3
    Sunday, 11 July 2010 – Firstly it’s always a bad idea to start a con-current franchise halfway through, onto a console which didn’t
    get its predecessor (Call of Duty 2). However Call of duty 3 was I believe a release title when the Nintendo wii came out.
    Coincidently one of the first FPS games to hit shelves in 2006. Four years on since I played through this title; with its rushed
    controls and noticeably ported graphics from the more powerful consoles, none the less the developers had the right ideas with
    the new motion controls (e.g. rowing down river was a nice touch, hey it beats random button sequences or tapping a at 200mph)
    Now let’s talk about some of the specifics of this game. Actually…..wait… your probably thinking why I am I writing about a release
    title which came out in 2006? Well its part of a collection about how FPS game on wii have changed over the last four years.
    Graphics- Below is some screenshots of CoD3 on multiplatform consoles wii & Xbox 360. What do you think? I don’t remember
    them being this bad, well, at least not at the time. Then again I didn’t have a HD console to compare the two either.

    Wii Xbox 360

    Just having a side by side we can see a huge graphical difference.


    (Wii) Poor textures
    (Wii) Crowded interface
    (Wii) Frame rate issues

    But wait this is not Nintendo’s fault surely? Well partially, we all know, now that the wii can achieve better graphics than this. Yes
    it’s a SD console with hardware limitations, and yes we have all seen better looking games on the GameCube. But I get the interest
    that this was a rushed title, for a tight release date. Oh and it shows!!!

    Final Thoughts

    74%
    No Multiplayer --
    Poor Graphics -
    Glitches -
    Motion control issues -
    Great Story ++
    A Call of Duty title nonetheless +
