Through a seamless narrative that delivers the rush of unrelenting battle and breathtaking action, players assume the roles of four ordinary Allied soldiers; American, British, Canadian, and Polish, are thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for an unprecedented variety of combat situations.

Gameplay
An all-new close-quarters battle mode allows players to fight hand-to-hand, improvise explosive devices, disarm traps, and execute a host of other battlefield situations that require cunning and rapid reflexes to survive. Meanwhile, the next-generation game design allows for multiple attack routes that let players decide how to confront the enemy. Each unique mission path requires special tactics, from sniping and demolition, to all-out head-on clashes, providing for a truly organic game that is never the same twice.

Special Wii Features
The Wii version of Call of Duty 3 adds special motion recognition features that further immerse you in the game. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk allows you to engage in realistic melee combat, toss grenades, control vehicles, aim, and more.

Multiplayer Action
There's also a new multiplayer mode that allows for team-based combat. The multiplayer mode provides unprecedented depth and variety by allowing up to 16 players to battle it out online with the option of single or split-screen Internet play. Gamers have the choice to play as infantry or commandeer multiple-occupancy vehicles, including tanks, jeeps, and motorcycles with side-cars, leading to unique mobile combat roles for all-out, multiplayer mayhem.

Call of Duty 3 also offers soldier classes, each with class specific abilities, and a ranking system for truly diversified squad combat, and hours of multiplayer, and single player fun.

If you think you knew what it felt like to be the bounty hunter behind the visor, think again. The Galactic Federation?s network computer, Aurora Unit, is suddenly and completely corrupted with something like a virus. The Federation believes Space Pirates may be behind the problem and are soon attacked. Samus and other hunters leap to their defense only to find that the enemy they face is Dark Samus, armed with immense power that no one can withstand. Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk and aiming with the Wii Remote allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever experienced. Through the eyes of Samus, players experience a quantum leap in first-person control as they wield the Wii Remote, the ultimate device for the first-person shooter genre. Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball, as well as a bunch of new surprises, to help her survive her coming trials. The game also incorporates a new system involving Phazon. If you fill Samus' Phazon supply to a certain level, Samus will temporarily go into hyper mode, a state in which she can pull off incredible feats. On the flip side, if she exceeds the maximum Phazon level, she'll perish. Also, for the first time in the Metroid series, Samus' ship will be used in active game play

In a nutshell:
The game that launched 150 million Game Boys is back with the first Nintendo-developed Tetris title in eight years, featuring six different game modes and a ten player multiplayer option.

The lowdown:
With a game that's been around as long and with as many versions as Tetris it's obviously difficult to think of what else to do with it. Nintendo's answer is to fill the game with as many different game modes as possible, including completely new concepts like Push, where both players share the same pile of blocks, and Touch which is specifically designed to use the stylus. Best of all there's a ten player multiplayer mode for playing against nearby opponents in wireless mode or a four player Wi-Fi mode that you can play against anyone in the world. On top of this the whole game is filled with cameos and tunes from classic Nintendo games, from Super Mario Bros. to Metroid, for that perfect retro cool look and feel.

Most exciting moment:
Going up against nine other opponents in wireless mode, watching all their screens on the top screen and then winning out as the victor of them all!

Since you ask:
The controversial "super rotation" technique, which allows you to infinitely spin a block before placing it, is actually the idea of the original Tetris license holders and Nintendo, and anyone else that makes a Tetris game, is contractually obligated to include it in the game.

The bottom line:
The best version of Tetris for years and another top Wi-Fi game for the DS.
