    Quick Version: Whether you’re new to the Call of Duty series of first-person shooters or you’ve played some or all of the past versions, you’ll likely find World at War to be a compelling and powerful addition to your library of games. Overview and Features Set during World War II, you’ll play part of the game as a US Marine against the Japanese and part of the game as a Russian soldier against the Germans Voice acting by Kiefer Sutherland and Gary Oldman Single...

    Only one year ago we were talking about COD4 and Infinity Ward and now we have yet another Call of Duty title on our hands, but make sure you don't call it COD5. The latest installment of the series comes from Treyarch whom delivered the lack lustered Call of Duty 3 a few years back. After Infinity Ward made the jump to modern warfare, our friends at Treyarch decided that it was best for their game to head back to the World War II era once again. Read more

    At any rate, you'll find that as a single-player experience, the game is far too short and lacks the compelling ambience of Modern Warfare. However, the multiplayer, more specifically the co-op, is where this game truly shines and from that perspective comes highly recommended from us. Read more

    • Four-player co-op kept us busy for days, Nazi zombie mode, character animation, explosions, sound-effects, music;
    • Short and disappointing single-player, weak story, you've played this before... believe me; same old weapons, same old setting.

    While Treyarch's WW2 shooter doesn't quite fill its predecessor's shoes, it's still a great game in its own right. Read more

    • Same intense action you know and love; impressive visuals and lighting; cooperative adds a ton of replay value; multiplayer still excellent.
    • Storyline is weak; flamethrower is tough to use on tougher difficulties; enemy AI can be absent-minded.

    There really isn’t a whole lot more to say here, Call of Duty World at War, while going back to WW2, still manages to feel new and fresh, keeping it’s head above the crowd in the way over-saturated WW2 shooter market. The game features the same great look and frame rate as Modern Warfare, also featuring the overall same multiplayer options as well, with a few new exceptions, like the attack dogs and tanks. Read more

    • Same great look and feel from Call of Duty Modern Warfare, fantastic audio quality, now features 4 player co-op gameplay over Xbox LIVE……….and of course there are Zombies
    • Yes we are back in WW2, if you were expecting a HUGE jump from Call of Duty 4, you’ll be disappointed. The attack dogs and tanks in multiplayer are receiving mixed rea...

  1. Solo Campaign Sucks

    4.0/10
    Reviewer: garrett, Amazon

    I've been playing this game on "regular" difficulty. Sometimes I actually have fun with it. But many times I can't stand the game. There are areas that are ungodly annoying. They force you to play a tank driver. Yeah. Good luck with that level. I quit playing the game at that point. I don't know if I even want to play it anymore. I am really fed up with Call of Duty. If it weren't for the multiplayer aspect, I doubt people would buy it. Read more

    Infinity Ward should be the only ones allowed to do Call of Duty and no one else should be able to tear a good game engine apart. Read more

    • -Zombie mode
    • -Multiplayer weapon balance. Why do SMGs always have to be overpowered and rediculously accurate at long ranges when fully auto?

    If I had wanted to play under the map, I would have bought Halo. This was supposed to bring a realistic ww2 feeling to it, and I now find the game unplayable. Read more
