    Call of Duty World at War is an excellent game overall, it’s got everything that any gamer would want in a game of this type, blood, gore, violence, bad language and so much more. Treyarch does a great job utilizing the COD4 engine for this game, and the added co-op mode is a nice bonus, as is the Nazi Zombies at the end of the game. When it’s all said and done though, it’s still back to WWII, and personally, I’m getting tired of the theme, I want something set... Read more

    If you love World War II and really want to play what might just be the last best game set in the conflict, then take this release, install it and play through the campaign on the hardest difficulty level. If you get a friend to join you, the whole experience will be better. Then, take the disk and frame it, while swearing you'll never touch a shooter set before the 1950's (unless a totally cool World War I Stormtrooper FPS comes up). If Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare...

    The odds have always been stacked against Call of Duty: World at War. This sequel revisits an undeniably exhausted FPS setting—World War II—and wasn’t designed by series creator Infinity Ward, but Treyarch has delivered a sufficiently compelling shooter. World at War doesn’t bring any lasting innovations to the FPS genre, but it has enough unrelenting shootouts and dramatically scripted events to keep us immersed in the action. Read more

    Moving back to the CoD’s saga roots, World at War takes us back to World War II. Well, a few snapshots of the immense 6-year conflict that is. There are two main theaters this time, the Pacific and the Eastern Front. The player follows the paths of two soldiers, fighting for the USMC and the Red Army in a series of heavily scripted missions and ‘levels on rails’. Although CoD games are exactly that, this one is rather too heavy on scripted events and linear, as... Read more

    when i heard this was coming out, i was like "eww another CoD for WWII" but now i love this game. although i hated the single player, the multiplayer is where its at. the map selection is actually really well balanced, not like CoD4 where there is just a core group of maps. CoD5 has alot of good maps that are very engaging. zombies is awesome other than that, wait till there is a price drop and patch up just for zombies and some decent multiplayer experiences Read more

    I find it amusing that everyone complaining about the weapon sounds thinks they know what the weapons are supposed to sound like when most of them only know gunshot sounds from tv, and tv is always accurate ha ha. Truth is most guns don't sound much like tv gunshot sounds. And does anyone playing these games know exactly what say an mp40 or a ppsh41 sounds like? I doubt it. I also don't understand why people complain about lack of/stupid plot. If you have any rational... Read more or see product

  3. Great game, with too much hate due bias against developer.

    Fun: First of all, I'll state that i own this on Xbox 360, so i can't comment on the issues which are relevent to the PC only. The Campaign: The campaign is fairly mediocre. There's the usual stuff in there. Kill some enemies, run forward, kill some more enemies, run forward again. Nothing amazing here, although there is a good deal of variation with the flamethrower, plane and tank level. I advise not attempting Veteran if you don't like being frustrated. There's...

    call of duty 5 offers the potential of WWII multiplayer gaming. It just dosen't have the best single player WWII expereince. the multiplayer features a highly enjoyable selection of perks,a handy clan system,and great game mods:zombie nazi,war, ctf,and team deathmatch are highly enjoyable and I also enjoyed the co-op campaign.But I think they should have added more vehicles such as airplanes,jeeps,and motorcycles.This game is to me a WWII that needs a little more content...
