In a nutshell:
After the last game became the best selling launch title for the Xbox 360, Activision aren???t wasting any time with the follow-up as you do you bit to help out with the Normandy breakout and the liberation of France.

The lowdown:
Despite the new digit in the title this isn???t so much a sequel to Call of Duty 2 on the 360 and PC as it is Call of Duty: Big Red One on the PS2, Xbox and GameCube. It???s by the same developer (Treyarch), there???s no PC version and it doesn???t feature three distinct armies, but instead a recreation of the Normandy breakout. That???s not to suggest it???s short on new ideas though with much larger levels than ever before and far more vehicles to control (particularly in the Battlefield like multiplayer mode). There???s also a new Resident Evil 4 style quick time event system for hand-to-hand combat where you have to hit specific buttons to sock it to the Nazi hordes.

Most exciting moment:
It may seem a bit shallow to go on about the game???s explosions but really, there???s never been anything as realistic as the fireworks in this game. The way the smoke moves is particularly amazing, even drifting in the wind or dispersing after a second nearby explosion.

Since you ask:
Although Activision has confirmed nothing yet they have hinted that original Call of Duty developers Infinity Ward are working on their own sequel, primarily for the PC. When it will come out and whether it will be translated to the next generation consoles is currently unknown.

The bottom line:
The best WII first person shooter looks to be getting even better.

Great fun from start to finish and it's the best of the war games i've played so far.

This game is great. Possibly the best PS2 game ever. I am not really a big "1st person shooter" fan but I loved this.

This games graphics are personally, better an some Xbox 360 games graphics. It is one of the most realistic WW2 game I have ever played. It is very entertaining and has a wide variety of missions which are all very challenging. The most annoying thing is (well you've probaly guessed) it does not let you skip intros but still a great game worth buying.

This game is great. Possibly the best PS2 game ever. I am not really a big "1st person shooter" fan but I loved this. The only problem is you can't skip the intro of each level which can be really boring after you've played it for a while. The levels are not too long and not too short. The graphics are also great. If you like WW2 games you'll love this. I would recommend it as a must bye. Trust me, it's worth it.

There is little to say that has not already been said, but what a great game. Fortunately due to the health system you dont spend your whole time repeating levels but it is still challenging.

Though some aspects may not please "gamers"(what a life they must have)it is great fun which for me is more important.

It also is roughyl historicall accurate according to my mate.

A few cons are:

not skipping intros (so annoying)
I could not tell the difference between one charcater and the next. In one part someone, posiiblly me is threatened by another american. what then happens is unknown.

dont let this put you off though. itis an awesome game.
