Though it's short, Call of Duty's realistic in-the-war feel and sheer challenge will appeal to WWII fans and veterans.
So, what is Call of Duty?
Call of Duty is a game based on World War 2.
What do you do in the game?
The gameplay is very fun. You can use plenty of weapons which are all different, but equal. You can snipe, man turrets, search buildings, crouch, aim, jump. But the presentation ties it together nicely. Sometimes you may get stuck due to lousy instruction, but most of the time, you should be on key.
How hard is this game?
You can play on 3 different difficulties. Easy. Medium. Hard. Even on easy, the game can get somewhat difficult. The challenge is what keeps the player playing this game and it doesn't frustrate you like in other games.
How are the graphics?
Amazing. They aren't that high def, but the graphics create surroundings that make it feel like you are actually in the war. And that is what seperates it from most games.
How is the sound?
Great. It uses Dolby Pro Logic II. Everything on key. Without sound, it wouldn't be a war.
How long is it?
Short, I admit. It is only a couple hours long. But it's difficulty and fun gameplay will leave you coming back for more. Too bad Gamecube didn't give this online play.
Any unlockables?
Some cheats. Movies. Photos. The small stuff.
Who do you reccomend owning the game?
WWII veterans who want to look back at the wars. FPS fans who want a tense experience.
War/weapon fanatics.
Pros: Realistic in-the-war presentation ; enjoyable gameplay ; plenty of weapons to choose from and use ; Challenging game.
Cons: Slow motion moments are annoying ; No multiplayer or online play ; Short single player.
AWESOME
This game was the best game. The Nazies are pretty challenging. The level that is one of my favorites is when you are trying to take back the Red Square. THe sounds and graphics are great. The guns are great and my favorite is PPSH or the MG42 I dont know, but they are both great.The best part of the game is when you are Soviet and you are in a tank. I highly recomened this game.
Many Hits, but a few misses
This game was very fun, but hard. I agree with the person who said it was hard to distinguish dead from alive. They stand frozen for a few seconds then fall, making them either recover and kill you, or you waste ammo. Also the save system. A level is seemingly impossible, and you are working your hardest, and you are killed, and have to start where you were about ten minutes earlier. So aggrivating, you are discouraged and turn the game off. And there is no multiplayer. So once you complete it (which I did in 2 days) there's nothing more to do. I also noticed a minor lack of famous WWII events. The siege of Stalingrad and the bridge level are the only widely known things that I noticed. This game was a lot of fun, with some tough times, and I at least recommend waiting until the price goes down because I don't think it is entirely worth it to some people. But it was a good game anyway, a suitable length, easy enough, overall a well made game.
