If you liked Medal Of Honor...

...you'll like this. They are very similar, both using the Quake III Arena engine. I found both COD and the early MOH series to be exceptionally playable and enjoyable even now, years after they were released. COD brings to the player an authentic taste of the chaos and confusion of battle. The environments are excellent. I like MOH slightly more because I think it was a little more meticulous in its accuracy, but that could be a simple matter of perception. If you like WWII history and like the First Person Shooter style of gaming, you can't help but like these games.

This particular package includes the original COD game, the United Offensive expansion, and COD2 which makes it a pretty good value for the bucks.

COD2 is more advanced in terms of graphics, requiring a more powerful computer. Besides that, COD2 does not allow the user to SAVE on command, but instead uses only the checkpoint system more common to console games. The original COD allows saves and does automatic saving as well. I found that quite appealing since I will sometimes forget to save during intense battle and it's nice to find the game has had a save or two since my my last manual save. In any case, COD2 saves often enough that you're rarely set back very far if you get killed.

Another thing I like about the COD series is it's simplicity. Yes, that means it's quite linear, but I don't find that objectionable. I'm not into complexity and the learning curve that entails. If you're like me and like to jump into a game and get up to speed in a hurry, this fits the bill.

Ok

This game is okay. Three games for a low price. But there is a reason it is a low price. If I were you, I'd save up my money and buy Call of Duty 4, or 3. These games are out of date and not really that much fun compared to the games out now.

Great 1st time around, but replayability is poor

Title says it all. I really enjoyed this game the first run through. It's cinematic and engaging and challenging. The second time around was no fun at all because everything is the same, I mean exactly the same down to the timing of the attacks and 'surprises'. Sorry, can't recommend this.

If you've read the reviews of other gaming sites prior to even considering purchasing Call of Duty, then you've basically read my review already. Before you discontinue reading, here are some critical points you should know before purchasing:
- This product is made exclusively for DVD-ROM Drives; CD-ROM drives will NOT run this box-set.
- If you barely meet the RECOMMENDED system requirements, I suggest you update your video card drives before playing COD2. (I currently have problems running video playback on that game)

Among the many WWII games already in stock, COD does qualify as a stand-alone game with its own innovative features and intensifying moments, but overall, it's provides you with some good ol' FPS fun. If you, like me, are being selective about the many WWII games out there, then you should consider the COD series because of its various historical perspectives and the style of FPS cohesive tactics you're to perform. As for the multi-player levels, don't expect to "Ooh-Ahh" about them, for this is a dated game after all. Hence, my 4-star overall rating, which is really for the sake of more avid gamers.

Since you've come this far in your consideration to buy this set, and you got earned money to spend, go ahead and buy it! It's a fine series.

Well worth the money.

Both COD and COD2 are amazing in their own areas. the first COD is extremely long and very unique and excellently detailed. Huge weapons selection, bigger than any other WW2 game ive ever seen. Even a flamethrower! The expansion itself is long, everything takes time even on easy, great game, it didnt win GOTY for nothing. COD2 is also amazing, with phenomenal textures and smoke effects. Much better hit point system and still just as fun though not quite as long. Well worth the money friends. I strongly recommend this to any fans of the WW2 series of games. I would say this is way better than MOHAA.

Good value

Although I like the Medal of Honor series better, This package is a good value for those looking for another WWI shooter game.

Great world war II game!

This is a great world war II game. Is challenging, fun and exciting. The only bombshell is that multiplayer online isnt so good. It is more of an individual self reliance with no strategy on team play. THE BEST WORLD WAR II FIRST PERSON SHOOTER IS DAY OF DEFEAT:SOURCE (AKA DOD:S)! DOD:S emphasizes team play and requires that each player hone their individual skills to better the chances of the team. Bud DOD:S doesnt have a single player. My suggestion is to get COD for single player and DOD:S for multiplayer. Once you're done with single player, the game can get boring, but multiplayer always depend on how good your opponents are (always varies, there are some crazy good players). Well hope this helps!

Awesome series of games!!!!

This is one of the most awesome series of games that i have played in a while, it has it all: the graphics, the sound, the ambient of the war, the incredible AI of the computer players (at moments I didnt notice that they were computer players at all)

I really recommend this game to all fans of WWII games.

War Games with few rivals

I played Call of Duty some years ago, and still find it to be one of the best shooters. While it does not have the quality of the eye-candy in more recent games, it is still able to provide many hours of entertainment.

Decent but not spectacular

Call of Duty is a decent game by all accounts. I have played many, many, many video games over the years and this one is about average in my estimation. I found the controls to be somewhat frustrating at times, and the plot was rather lame (world war 2 again???). The gameplay is moderately fun though, especially riding in the vehicles. I especially enjoyed driving the tank, although the mission itself was somewhat difficult.

Overall, I give this game an average rating. It is worth the price, but there is nothing new here, and I would rather play Medal of Honor again.
