Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Wii Review

What's most impressive about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on Wii is that the teams behind it have managed to squeeze so much of the other versions into it. You have the same campaign as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, the same online multiplayer (albeit only five versus five), and at least some of the same Spec Ops content. But this is running on dated hardware, which brings the performance down to a state that makes it a chore to play. Texture pop-in occurs all too often, it often drops below 30 fps, and online connection issues mar what should be the best part of the experience. Modern Warfare 3 wraps up the story laid out in the previous Modern Warfare games. Or, at least, it tries. The story in three confuses and isn't all that interesting, serving only as a backdrop for the badass set pieces and battlegrounds you play in. If you really pay careful attention to the plot, you might be able to follow along, but the fact that I have to put effort into understanding or caring about it remains problematic. Also returning are the annoying endlessly spawning enemies and crazy A.I.
