Call of Duty is the best WWII Shooter I've ever played. It's realistic, intense, and has a wide range of missions in which you play through all sorts of battles.

The American Campaign is my favorite. As Private Martin, you battle through French towns and countrysides, take a wild car ride through occupied territory, and rescue prisoners from a huge house and later a POW camp. Awesome.

In the British Campaign, you are Sergeant Evans, and assist in taking and holding a bridge, destroying a dam, sinking a battleship and more.

In the Russian Campaign, as Alexi, you fight through Stalingrad, drive T-34 tanks, and capture the Riechstag in Berlin.

The weapons and voice talent are great, although they could have added a little more German death sounds. It gets rather boring hearing the same cry every 10 kills.

Overall, a great game, with plenty of interesting action to keep things stirred up.

One of the best military-action games on the market...

I've played enough military computer games to know that Call Of Duty: The Game of the Year happens to be a great game. I actually already had this PC game, but it was damaged, so I bought another one knowing how good it was. The best part about this game is that you can also play a multiplayer game on the internet. I also would highly recommend Call Of Duty: United Offensive. This game utilizes tanks, airplanes, jeeps and more weapons. Plus, if you're a military enthusiast life myself, it is amazingly accurate with geography, weaponry, etc.

Fun for hours

What a Journey!! This game has it all. There was one level which gave my computer trouble loading. The detail and graphics in this game does require a rather robust machine to drive it, but overall it definitely has my recommendation.

great start to the call of duty family

It was a lot of fun. I didn't expect it to be so much like an arcade game.

To the developers: I would like to have games like CoD but taking place in Viet Nam, Iraq, and the pacific theater of WW2. How come virtually the only enemies you get to shoot in war games are Germans? I think that really SUCKS! I want to also shoot Japanese, Vietnamese, and Muslims. I especially want to shoot Muslims after 911 and everything. I also think it'd be fun to nuke Japan in a game. I'm really tired of shooting Germans. Give us some different frigging enemies! All you game companies are missing a lot of easy money by not making an FSP about Iraq.

Exciting WW2 FPS

I bought Call of Duty recently. A friend suggested, with CoD 2 and 3 out, why bother with CoD 1? Well I figured I would give it a try to know if I liked the series before going on to the more expensive versions. I was not disappointed. It is a great game, and although I'm sure the newer games have better graphics and stuff, this game does not feel outmoded at all. I only missed the chance of playing as German in the single-player campaign, but this game is all about the Allies. Excellent anyway.

Best First Person Shooter to have if you only have one

While there are many improved FPS games out there that are improved in graphics and complexity, this is the one game you should learn to be good at before you ever move on to online or other, more difficult First Person Shooter or multi-player combat games. This one will make a gamer combat veteran out of you and give you the eye, the reflexes and raise you to a level of competance you'll need for the games you'll move on to. I get this "old" game out every few months, just to remind myself of HOW to game, using all the basics. Best first time FPS made, in my book.

Had a hell of a time installing this game.You need to get a patch for it to work, maybe they've fixed that on later versions. Game play is a blast and very user friendly. Online play can be addicting, be prepared to get waxed until you get good at it. Would like to hit Omaha beach like on Medal.

Call of Duty, another WWII game that wins the jackpot!

Call of Duty is a WWII game that takes you around Europe in an anti-Nazi shoot-em up. In the game, you play an American private named Martin, Sgt. Evans of the British, and a Russian sniper, which is a pretty good mix of historical accuracy.

Positive: Apart from killing Nazi's there is lack of swearing, no fear of F-bombs, and Rambo is not welcome. In Battlefield 1942, you had "Springtime for Hitler" Germans who run around shooting for no reason. In Call of Duty, you had some Germans that acted like real people. Please note that the thrill of the kill can be exciting and damaging at the same time.

Negative: Mild language creeps up in this game. Apart from that, the Russians are cruel and though you don't see it, they shoot a deserter which is not a kiddie scene.

Conclusion: Call of Duty is the best WWII game I've played so far. I recommend it, although you should be at least a mature 12+ to play the game.

A Great Game to Get a Kid Interested in History

I bought the game for my son because he was interested in the shooting and war aspects of the game. Soon, however, it became apparent that there was a lot more to Call of Duty. He played as an actual soldier in the American army, the British RAF, and in the Russian Army. He learned about various battles in WWII, as well as how to identify ships, planes, and tanks from the era. He also learned that war wasn't always glamourous and cool. The best thing that happened during the time he played this game was that he became motivated to go and look up the history behind the battles he simulated.

I'm sure not all kids will have this sort of motivation after playing this game, but the fact that he did impresses me. This is not just another shoot-the-enemy-for-points game. This is a game that allows people to get a taste of what the "greatest generation" experienced on the battle fields of Europe.
