A great game, but dosen't beat Call Of Duty 4 2
Last year's Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was a truly excellent game. It had one of the best single player campains ever, and the most addicting first person online part ever. It even beat Halo 3, who many thought would be the champion of 2007. Of course people always wants more, so a new Call Of Duty game had to be made. Enter Call Of Duty: World At War, the latest chapter in the Call Of Duty series. World At War is developed by Treyarch, who made the well done, but fan negative, Call Of Duty...

Call of Duty World at War Review 0
I love World War II. I love playing World War II videogames so naturally I've played many Call of Duty games. I played Finest Hour, Call of Duty 2, Big Red One, Call of Duty 3, Modern Warfare and of course World at War. Ever since I first watched my friend play Call of Duty 2 on a PC, and then play it on my own Xbox 360 (being the first 360 game I owned), I fell in love with the Call of Duty series. My favorite Call of Duty is Modern Warfare, but Call of Duty 2 is an very close second and I had ...

A great game despite being very similiar to its predecessor- 0
Call of Duty World at War is Treyarchs second attempt at a Call of Duty Game. After the disaster that was Call of Duty 3, they managed to Build a solid FPS, that overall can seem a bit derivative. The game uses the same engine as COD4 but is set in the classic Call of Duty World war 2 setting. Due to it using the same engine as Call of Duty 4 it seems very samey to its predecessor although it is significantly less modern. The game uses multiple main characters similiar to Call of Duty 4, with ...

A Good Addition to the Call of Duty Family 0
World at War is still the same old Call of Duty but it adds in some new features and fun suprises. As everyone knows World at War returns to World War II where this time we play as the Americans in the Pacific and the Russians in the Western Front. The Campaign is intense, lasts about 5-6 hours, and features many set-pieces that the Call of Duty series is known for. The multiplayer has the same level-based structure that Call of Duty 4 used, it also has a higher level cap of 65 oppose to CoD 4...

Why Wont This Series Die?? 0
So this is call of duty 5 I think, or it might be CoD 7 for all I know. Well what I do know is that this game is NOT good. Strap in for another rant. So the broken Call Of Duty series returns for another round of shit, calling themselves World at War this time. Well back to boring old world war 2, its like they've ruined the one good idea Cod had which was modernizing things. Well there are a bunch of cunts out there who think this game is good, but while they're busy wacking it to saving priva...

COD as COD is best 0
There are a lot of things that go into making a successful thanksgiving dinner. Look at each of those things as a component in video-games. Sure, you can have the turkey by itself, but if you served that, people would get bored and laugh you out of town. You need some flavors, surprises, a good formula, some balance, and pretty visual effects to pull the whole thing off as a successful meal. So already you can see the similarities between video-games and thanksgiving din-din. Is it merel...

Call of Duty: World at War, improving the past 0
Call of Duty 5 goes back to a world at war setting and this is probably one of the best world at war 1st person shooter i have played and that is alot. Campaign: I played through the campaign on veteran mode and this took forever. Veteran mode was so hard that it was hard to enjoy the campaign. This made the game way more rewarding when you get past a part that you have died on many times but it still gets pretty boring. There is a reasonable hardest difficulty on games but I think ths game is ...

World At War is nothing particularly new, but it retains many good qualities 0
Call of Duty: World At War returns to WW2 as opposed to it's predecessor, to mostly positive results. World At War presents a darker, grittier tone than past games in the series, as well as including a theater of war never used before in a COD game, and a multiplayer mode that is more of the same, and a new Zombie survival mode.World At War kicks off the campaign with you playing as Pvt. Miller, being held captive in a Japanese camp on the island of Makin Atoll, where him and his teammates have ...

One bullet isn't as good as 30, but it's still fun. 0
Treyarch's contribution to the Call of Duty franchise has been hit-and-miss, but most of the points Treyarch scored were thanks to original developers Infinity Ward. Rather than trying to reinvent, vitalise or alter the direction of the series, Treyarch simply from their predecessor's formula. So when the upcoming Call of Duty: World at War was announced, a lot of COD fans were wondering: will it be worth it? First, you have to ask: did you like Call of Duty 4? If so, then World at War is easil...

Nothing screams "paying tribute" like NAZI ZOMBIES 0
Call of Duty : World At War : A World War 2 first person shooter developed by Treyarch, and using the gameplay engine from Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare (as well as their boxart design, I guess.) Story : The missions generally fall under two separate, largely unrelated storylines, involving the Americans attacking the Japanese and the Russian invasion of Berlin. Between missions, there are these over-stylized cutscenes that attempt to explain the context of each mission, splici...

Not a giant leap, but an incremental step forward for the series 1
Poor Treyarch – always in the shadow of its allegedly more talented sibling, Infinity Ward. Treyarch’s name is one that has become synonymous with inferiority or slapdash effort. Along with Climax Group (they of Silent Hill: Origins fame) and Ubisoft Shanghai (they of, well, that train wreck), Treyarch seem to have garnered an unfortunate reputation among gamers. Now, I’m not here to argue whether that’s a fair reflection of the company or not, but what I will say is that Call of Duty: World a...

A brutal vision of War 0
I’m a bit late on this one, ok so I am over a year late. But I think having played World at War after having finishing Modern Warfare 2 gave me a very unique perspective on the game, and its place in the series. World War II is back, I know that a lot of people are sick and tired of games based on the last Great War, it is understandable; as a society we have long been obsessed with the war. Not only games but in virtually every form of media. There is no getting around it; World War II was th...

It is almost as good as cod4. 0
The good: The same great multiplayer - One of the best campaigns in any of the call of duty games - Nazi zombies - Splitscreen co-op and online co-op - superb sound - awesome graphics - very good voice acting - Same great gameplay your used to - More blood guts and gore.The bad: some weird glitches and clipping problems - the co-op splitscreen screen is just plain odd.A lot of people were pretty mad when they found out treyarch decided to go back to WWII for the next call of duty game.

Call of Duty: World at War, has you once again taking the battlefields of World War 2. This time around you'll be playing the parts of an American Private, and a Soviet Private. While in the body of the American you'll be visiting some of the areas battles were fought when the US went against Japan. When playing as the Soviet you'll be taking on the Germans as you try to expel them from Russia, and then take it all the way back to Germany. This is a multi-platform game, appearing on the 360, PS3...

Saved by The Giant 1
So, Ive finally come to review this map pack after looking at the 3 multiplayer maps and the new Nazi Zombies Map: Der Riese (The Giant). AKA: Zombie Factory. Basically, Im going to review each map individually, and then round it up. Lets start with the multiplayer maps: Breach: Rating: 2/5 With some relitavely good points to the map (not least of which is the appearance of the map and the scenery itself). Breach, is a let down. It is only good to be honest, for the keen camper and sniper, ma...

Call of Duty: World at War Review 1
Call of Duty: World at War (PS3) The previous Call of Duty game by Infinity Ward was a groundbreaking success. It had an epic, action-packed single-player campaign and online multiplayer that was like nothing ever seen before. It had me locked up in my room for hours on end, Pepsi in hand, playing and playing and playing. The light of day was rarely seen. The result of this was the expectations of the next Call of Duty set extremely high. It was Treyarch's turn to develop the next game, but th...

A frustrating experience 0
Call of Duty: World at War fails miserably to standout from other games in the genre. I was absolutely floored by some of the set pieces in the game and it may very well be the best war game ever presented. The game also features the most enjoyable flamethrower I've seen. However, these parts lose much of their value in the context of this game.World at war is considerate enough to have every problem that this series has ever had. The AI of your teammates is terrible and they are there for almos...

Awesome, but all in all just more WWII 0
I have always kept a special place in my heart for the Call of Duty franchise. I love how the games mix cinematic elements with intense action and just pure fun. World at War is no different. It has those cinematic elements that draw you in to the story, it has the intense action that keeps your heart pumping, and all in all its just fun to play. But after so many WWII games its getting old fast. Modern Warfare really threw in a fresh new creative idea for the CoD franchise and I feel as though ...

Great game Definitely should be given a try. 0
Call of Duty:WaW is a great game featuring many cool maps and game modes for multiplayer. In the campaign you switched back and forth between playing at the German's side of the war and the American's.It was a good but I expected a lot more after playing Call of Duty:Modern Warfare which had a great story and ending and fun to play too.I thought the story would be over the top and even better than Modern Warfare but it wasn't but I loved playing with the flamethrower and now the ability to dri...

Call of Duty: World at War Review 0
Call of Duty: World at War is a fine addition to the Call of Duty franchise. It is undoubtably the coup de grace of any WWII-themed first person shooters. Treyarch, still riding on the back of the giant that is Infinity Ward, stole all the bits that made Call of Duty: Modern Warfare so great and improved upon or added to that seminal game. However, it should be noted that COD: MW still feels "smoother" and more balanced than WaW, but only by a little bit. I'm a big FPS player. It is my go-t...

COD WaW Review 0
Call of Duty World at War is the 5th in the series of the CoD games, but can it be the best? In many ways yes, the online modes are great and a massive improvement upon CoD4, this is because of Nazi Zombies mode, it will really get you excited about the game and it's a massive thrill to play. It's something new and fresh that has never been introduced in a game before, so your bound to love it. Also you can do a co-op campain online with up to 3 other players on your team, sometimes it will make...

Sick of It 0
After the massive success that was Modern Warfare, Treyarch takes the reigns of the Call of Duty franchise --- I believe for the final time --- and they bring us back to the glory days of World War II. And since there isn't really a heck of a lot left to do games about, this is, basically, the end of the war. You play as Russian and American troops who are seeking to both take down Berlin AND Okinawa.Now, for many, the return to WW II is a bit of a letdown, but a well-made game is good n...

Heading back to war 0
Activision have such fun releasing sequels each year that they’ve even coined their own term for it, annualisation. Shocking, I know; but because of this, development on Call of Duty has been split between both Infinity Ward and Treyarch, allowing for a two year development time for each team. Infinity Ward had massive success with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare last year, so now it’s time for Treyarch to step up and deliver after the disappointing Call of Duty 3 two years ago. Enter Call of Dut...

The tired Call of Duty formula returns for another round but it's 0
NOTE: This review is only for the single player portion of Call of Duty World at War, and is scored accordingly. Please take that into account when reading this piece. Thank you. The Call of Duty franchise has been a staple of the first person shooter genre this decade, starting out life as a PC exclusive before entering the console wars for the second iteration. With four numbered games and a half dozen spin-offs behind it, Call of Duty returns with World at War. The same formula that has been ...

Call of Duty: World at War 0
It's interesting to play World at War right after Far Cry 2, because they represent very different approaches to the same basic idea. The latter is all about providing you with an environment in which any number of things can happen based on what you do inside it, while the former is a series of planned events hand crafted to give every player the same experience. This is Treyarch's third stab at the Call of Duty franchise, and if the first two are like this, then they've proven themselves very ...

Tour of duty number five. 0
It would be hard to immediately identify something as a World War II game with the absence of Nazis. In fact, the absence of Nazis is what potentially could have led Treyarch's latest iteration of the Call of Duty franchise from feeling like just another World War II game.Call of Duty: World at War consists of two main components: an American campaign that retells the invasion of Okinawa, and yep, you guessed it: a Russian campaign that deals with the Russians pushing the Nazis out of the mother...

Generic execution drags down an otherwise great shooter. 0
The newest Call of Duty game has a lot to offer to shooter fans. The single player campaign, which is purported to last around 6-7 hours, never lets up on the intensity, and the multiplayer package is one of the most well rounded and well executed in any shooter. The graphics and sound do not disappoint, the controls are well mapped and will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played a CoD game, and the weapons feel good. However, no amount of praise that I can (and will) lay on the game cou...

THIS IS 2 KEEP U BUST WHILE THEY MAK COD5:MW2 THIS IS NOT THE REAL PART 5 After a wildly successful tour of duty in the modern era, Activision's Call of Duty series heads back to the 1940s with World at War, a WWII-focused shooter that attempts to do many of the same things that the previous game did, but in a different time period. It's interesting to watch those different facets of a modern game as they're molded to fit into an earlier conflict, and it works better than you'd probably think....

Call of Glitches: MP40s at War Review 0
I could start out like everyone else telling you how wonderful this game is or I could be truthful and tell you everything WRONG with the game. First of all this was the flash of the year, but with no fallowing boom? The previous Call of Duty installment by Infinity Ward Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was original, few glitches, amazing campaign and a multiplayer that blew you away. (literally :P).

Call of Duty: World at War (NDS) is the second COD game developed for the DS. Obviously, unlike Modern Warfare, World at War is set in World War II. So, is it worth buying, or should you just stick to COD4? Call of Duty: World at War boasts LOADS of gameplay modes, there’s so much to do in the game, it’ll keep you interested for a long time. There’s FPS levels, Tank levels, Mortar sections, Turret parts, Plane levels, Anti-Air levels where you’re on a boat, and there’s a couple more too. A few ...

Map Pack #2 Delivers 0
Let's be honest, most people will buy this dlc only for the new zombie map and achievements for said zombie map. Is this necessarily a bad thing? The answer is no! This second map pack released for World at War delivers exactly what the user expects from it, more head popping, perk grabbing, mystery box opening fun. The map is much, much bigger than the original zombie map included with the game. In the map are four seperate areas away from the main compound in which the player begins. Perk...

Multiplayer Fans Need To Avoid This One (Map Pack 3 Review) 0
I was very excited about Map Pack 3, but unfortunately, the new multiplayer maps are so weak that it's not worth the 800 points unless you're a Nazi Zombies fan. The new maps are way to large and confusing. Treyarch said the fans wanted big maps. They said the fans didn't want "sniper fests or SMG fests". The new maps combine both of those. It's nearly impossible to take 10 steps without getting sniped by a player with an MP40 (although that's true for every map in the game), and going into one ...

Average multiplayer maps, fun zombie map 0
The second map pack for Call of Duty World at War came out with exactly what I expected, a new unique zombie map, and three forgettable multiplayer maps. For a casual player who likes to play call of duty games, these maps are fun, but are nothing extraordinary. Each multiplayer map visits a different area than the other, bringing new obstacles and sights for the player to see. Banzai is a Japanese-American map placed in a jungle with a small village, a bridge, and a cave. Its my favorite of all...

Call of Duty: World at War does what it set out to do. Unfortunately, it set out to be exactly like Call of Duty 4. While Call of Duty 4 was a great game, this does nothing to advance the genre.Pros:-The single player campaign does not "screw up". It maintains everything that made the Call of Duty 4 campaign great to play, while putting it in the setting of WWII. The addition of the Pacific campaign was a great touch.-Flammable environments.
