    N-Space did the best possible job porting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to Nintendo DS. The game is fun, it's got a good number of missions and the online multiplayer works good. You can also use classic controls instead of the awkward stylus ones.

    It's not as extravagant, thrilling, or exciting as the main series it's based on, however frame rate and control issues aside, this is a good option for those who want a similar experience on the go.

    N-Space's reach exceeds DS's grasp. Give this nonsense a miss and wait for their excellent Heroes of Ruin on 3DS instead. [Christmas 2011, p.68]

  2. As much as I love killing things on my DS, I find Call Of Duty to be a hollow experience. What's missing is hours of mindlessly patrolling bases, building relationships with the local people, finding stray animals to adapt, and of course, the fun of sharing poorly constructed communal showers (watch out for faulty electrical wiring!). As it stands, COD feels incomplete. I want to do more than just point guns at terrorists. Maybe if they added in mini-games where I could raise a puppy, Skype with my spouse, or direct movies of pet owners coming home to their furry friends, maybe I would change my review. As long as COD continues to feature only the glamorous parts of being a solider - the killing stuff - I'm going to continue being disappointed. Expand
