A Call of Duty that differs from the later ones

Concept: Take the roles of four soldiers in the American, British, Canadian, and Polish armies, and fight in over ten missions to push the German forces out of France.
Graphics: Definetly outdated now, especially compared to later games in the series, but the graphics aren't bad, although the build and body shape of the soldiers looks a little funny to me for some reason.
Sound: The music in itself is no way memorable, but when the music is used in the correct timing, people will remember the heoric mood it helps give off. Voice overs are done well enough, but there's nothing special to report on besides PVt. Huxley's western hick voice.
Playabillity: The 1st person shooting action is definetly solid but it does feel a little shaky compared to other shooters. The one shot guns are definetly the most deadly but while some machine guns are deadly and fun to have in your grasp, a good chunk of them are very hard to aim with, and lock on doesn't help (especially with the Thompson). Throwing a grenade back is a lot easier, even than the later games. Plus, the tanks are fairly easy to control making them a fun level. Plus, theres a lot of button sequences, included in planting a bomb, going hand to hand combat with a german soldier out of bullets, and a few other random things. I would recommend disabling the tilt for the controller though, as it's practically useless.
Entertainment: Playing as four different characters keeps the story interesting, and the gunplay is not just fun, but addicting. I could imagine playing this whole thing through and through without stopping.
I would recommend this game to any Call of Duty and 1st person shooter fans. COD 3 is a good addition to it's series.
