Call of Duty 3: Wii Controls Detailed in Trailer
What it loses in looks, it makes up for in personality
So, what is Call of Duty 3 like on the Wii, you may be wondering? Put simply, it’s a bit like Call of Duty 3 on the 360, but just not quite as nice looking.
Having briefly played the game in the Wii House recently, SPOnG’s fears that ‘proper’ games on the Wii might just not be as good an experience as the same games on the Xbox 360 or PS3 were put to rest.
The game features some of the best motion-sensing Wii-mote features we’ve yet experienced, with Metroid Prime 3 style movement controls and some other neat touches such as using the controller to steer vehicles, Excite Truck style, using it as a virtual oar to row boats, flicking the Nunchuk to reload, pushing the controller out in front of you for melee attacks, and so on.
In SPOnG’s short playtest, it was these Wii-mote specific functions which really made the game stand out. We can’t wait to give it a proper go when we get the final review version later this month.
Until then, check out these latest trailer right here:
640x480
MPEG4 XviD (15.2MB)
Quicktime (19.3MB)
Windows Media (19.4MB)
320x240
MPEG4 XviD (6.5MB)
Quicktime (7.7MB)
Windows Media (9.5MB)
SPOnG's full review of Call of Duty 3 on Nintendo Wii will follow later this month, see our dedicated Call of Duty 3 page for all the latest info, art and pics.

I've heard about this and if its anything like Red Steel, I might have to purchase a Wii version next to a 360 copy.
Interesting that what it loses in graphics it gains in gameplay. A good thing in my book. Lets hope it has online functions, it would make an interesting multiplayer game.

I wasn't going to bother with COD3 prefering to wait for the PC version. It looks like consoles (the Wii at least) may become my platform of choice for this type of gameplay.
Looks terrific. I just hope it's as responsive as it needs to be. I hate dying because of lag.
