Call of Duty 3

Call of Duty 3, released in 2006, was the third instalment in the Call of Duty line. Like Call of Duty 1 and 2, Call of Duty 3 is set in World War II, but has taken a big step up compared to its ancestors. It has been released for all third-generation consoles, including the Wii!

Gameplay

In single player mode, you play 14 missions, playing each section of the campaign from different viewpoints of the armies involved. Call of Duty 3 takes you from the American campaign, to the British campaign, to the Canadian campaign, before finally ending on the Polish campaign.

Multiplayer mode features a huge variety of features that can be adjusted by the game’s host. On Playstation and Xbox, Call of Duty 3 separates the matches between ‘player matches’ and ‘ranked matches’. Player matches allow the host to invite players into the game to play with them, whereas ranked matches are based on puts the individuals, or teams, up against other individuals or teams with the same ranking to ensure a fair game. Player matches don’t contribute to the ranking of the players, but ranked matches (obviously!) do.

In Call of Duty 3, there seems to be a much greater emphasis on multiplayer matches, with the players being able to choose between battles (the basic idea where the player with the most point wins), team battles (two teams play against each other and the one who annihilates the other team first wins), war (taking control of a flag before moving on to get the next one), capture the flag (2 varieties of) and headquarters (team must posses the radio to win).

Call of Duty 3 for Wii

Call of Duty 3 Wii release has sparked much debate within the gaming community about its right to be there. Games such as this haven’t had a history of making it to the Wii, but it does seem to be as close to being in the heat of the battle as we can get at the moment. The controls for it aren’t quite 100%, but they almost make you believe you’re there.

Also, Wii’s were never particulary built for graphics it seems, so the trade off between the game controls and graphics have had to be accepted, but it seems to do it just fine!

All in all, a very good game no matter what console you get it on.

Best Bits

Here are the most notable features of Call of Duty 3:

  • Very fast, enjoyable action.
  • Story very believable; sucks you in.

Rock Band 2

In 2008, Harmonix Music Systems released Rock Band 2, giving millions of gamers across the globe the opportunity to come together once again to belt out classic rock ballads. Much like its predecessor, Rock Band 2 allows gamers to choose between strumming a guitar, bashing a set of drums, or singing classic lyrics. And with over eighty new tracks included in the game, there is plenty of depth for all to enjoy the game for a long time.

For those who have never played Rock Band, the main objective of the game is to follow on-screen patterns by using controllers shaped like instruments. The game is simple enough to pick up and play immediately, and difficulty ranges from very easy, allowing beginners to get a grasp of the controls, to very difficult, offering a rewarding task to those who have already spent hours mastering the game.

The main difference between the Rock Band line of games and other music video games is that Rock Band allows up to four instruments to be played in harmony. Rock Band 2 improves on its predecessors shortcomings with this feature, offering greater incentives to the experienced to find good teammates, while also allowing a group of four beginners to play together without worrying if one was falling behind.

Perhaps the largest strength Rock Band 2 has is its offerings post-purchase. Owners of the game can take advantage of the constantly-updating online store, which offers hundreds of new tracks to choose from. And as an added bonus to purchasing the game, Rock Band 2 owners receive twenty free downloadable songs just for playing!

With improved game play and new songs available for download every week, there is no doubt that Rock Band 2 has a long shelf life. Overall, the game is a terrific sequel and a must-have for all who enjoy music video games.
