CoDWii

It's actually called Call of Duty 3, but since the Wii version offers a different experience from its competitors I decided to refer to it as Call of Duty Wii. (^-^) Ok onward!

So I picked this game up today because I finished Zelda and was iching to see what else the Wii had in store for me in other genre's of gaming. First person shooters are a fav of mine on the PC but not so much on the console. Many love Halo, Gear of War etc, but I just can't play with a controller after using a mouse and keyboard for so long. Luckly the Wii came along.

The gameplay felt a little wierd to me at first, but I got used to it. The Wii controller feels very natural for the the FPS genre and I'm looking forward for more in the futures. One thing I could've done without was the scripted event where you're fighting for your gun with a Nazi. It seems that this was added last minute to show off the motion control of the remote, but definately could've been left out. It seems that with the current CoD developers Treyarch, a lot of things are scripted. I can't wait until Infinity Ward picks it back up and brings the series back to its roots.

Many sites give this game a 7 or 7.3...at the moment I'll give it an 8, unless I find something terribly wrong later.
