Activision's Call of Duty: Roads to Victory has been out for a couple of days now. So, how do you like having to go to war with just one analog stick? Pretty tough ain't it? Well, we know how tough it is. Especially having to deal with some rather strange death sequences: hearing quotes from long-gone generals of the past. Take this video from GameTrailers for example.



Did you watch the video through to the end when the player gets blown up by a tank? That's when the quote from George Patton comes up. I was able to discuss this over with QJ resident CoD-veteran Chris L. Here's what happened...

Chris: "Been there, done that. Wish I could turn the feature off."

Gino: "Well, you can't turn off the feature of dying in the heat of battle. I've always wondered what it felt like. Now I know: you get a tank's rocket lodged into your head, and you start hearing strange voices of past US generals and commanders, asking if you want to go back to the previous checkpoint. LOL"

While some people might want to turn off the death quotes, it still makes for quite an interesting conversation piece.

The world-renowned Call of Duty franchise spun a new flavor for the PSP. Dubbed Call of Duty: Roads to Victory, the game came out March 14, 2007 alongside two other titles from the Activision's multi-million dollar franchise. With PSP friendly-graphics, some much needed exclusive additions to the mix, and a whole lotta lovin' from Amaze Entertainment's development team, the game is sure to be a hit over the handheld.

As the fifth gameplay trailer for this franchise, it seems the game's pretty much what we expected. Although some of the graphics look a little bland, you can't quite beat actually playing a CoD title on anything smaller than a laptop. This video is pretty short and probably should have been released as a gameplay snippet than a fully fledged trailer.

Achtung! 3 Call of Duty titles with a simultaneous release? - Image 1The Call of Duty series is a multi-million dollar franchise held by Activision. Not content to rest on their laurels, Activision will be releasing three Call of Duty titles simultaneously under their label. Two titles will be released for the Xbox 360 and one will be a PSP exclusive, and these three titles are sure to make any fan of the series drool with anticipation.

Call of Duty 3: Gold Edition for the Xbox 360: It contains everything the original Xbox 360 game has - plus a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes footage. With an MSRP of US$ 59.99, it costs the same as the first release, so if you missed out on buying the first one, perhaps you should consider getting this now.

Call of Duty 2: Platinum Hits Expanded Edition for the Xbox 360: For those who haven't played this classic, it will be re-released with a bonus DVD that includes mission walkthroughs. With an MSRP US$ 29.99, it's a bargain.

Call of Duty: Roads to Victory for the PSP: A PSP exclusive developed by Amaze Entertainment, this game promises to bring new challenges in the form of mounted machine gun battles, sniper encounters, and aircraft attacks. Multiplayer for up to six players via ad-hoc wireless is possible as well. With an MSRP of US$ 39.99, it's worth every penny for fans of the series.

All the games mentioned will be released on March 14, 2007. We'll bring you more news as we get more information.

Call of Duty: Roads to Victory - Image 1


Activision's offering for the PSP, Call of Duty: Roads to Victory, is set to conquer store shelves this coming March 13. Now, just to give you a bit of an idea what you're grubby hands are getting, Senior Producer Matt Powers talked with IGN about the game's storyline and multiplayer aspects.

The interview kicked off with Mr. Powers talking about the game's main antagonists. Players will get to experience some of the major battles from the US, Canadian, and British campaigns. They will have to "defend against the Axis throughout Europe as a member of the US 82nd Airborne Division, the Canadian Rifleman Corps and the British SAS Division.

"Players will liberate cities in Italy, storm beach heads along the coast, and advance their way through Europe, repelling -- and ultimately defeating -- German forces." All in a day's work.

He then mentions that their goal in Roads of Victory is to bring the players to the "hot spots" of the European theater in World War II. The game follows different nationalities which brings players to a large variety of weapons, location and action:

The 82nd Airborne is the basis of our American campaign. The player will experience missions that are based around real Airborne operations. They will be dropped into hot spots throughout Europe to fight off the German invasions. Players will always be part of a squad, just as the Airborne are, when taking on missions.

Are you sure you can drive this jeep with only the nub? - Image 1There are many nice things you can say about a shooter designed around two analog sticks (or a mouse) and then bringing it to a platform with only one nub. Case in point: Activision's Call of Duty: Roads to Victory. Producer Alex Pantelias' contribution to GameZone compiles the experiences of the dev team in working on this title (from sound to graphics to game design)  and making sure it was a Call of Duty title, experience-wise.

Their comments reveal much of how the game will look, sound, and play. Gameplay, for example, had to be tailored to the lone analog nub. The game designers describe the use of auto-targeting and manual aim options. Different classes of weapons get different auto-targeting ranges, and manual aim (ADS, or Aim Down Sights) will always be more accurate than auto-targeting (or spray-and-pray gunfire).

There's more to read, especially on sound and visuals, over at the Read link. It all speaks of the challenges of packing Call of Duty into a package the size and shape of a PSP.

There is absolutely no question to the fact that Activision's Call of Duty franchise is an epitome of success. Having its share of fame in both the PS3 and the Xbox 360, there sure appears to be no reason why they shouldn't set their eyes on expanding their reach of influence, so to speak.

And so they come to the PSP. Heading its way to your Sony handhelds, Call of Duty: Roads to Victory promises to bring you the "signature cinematic intensity and chaos of battle" of CoD. Now, all you have to do is press Play to check out the game trailer. No need to wait much longer, folks. CoD: RtV is set to conquer your PSPs on March 13. Be on guard, now.
