The wartime first-person shooter ups the visual presentation over Call of Duty 3. Vanguard is simply prettier in almost every respect, from art to engineering. But - and here's the kicker -- it doesn't play as well; the overall controls aren't as tight. The end experience remains entirely playable - enjoyable during most missions, especially during sniper-intensive situations -- but it's not the Holy Grail of first-person shooters. So you will be forced to make a choice: prettier graphics or smoother controls?
