Call of Duty: World at War

By Norman Chan

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 ...

Lengthy single-player campaign is engaging ; fun co-op mode

Unimpressive AI ; tired setting ; makes us long for Call of Duty 4

Just don't expect much resistance from the AI enemies. Your foes are easily dispatched and don't react realistically in combat; the concept of suppressing fire, for example, is nonexistent. Waves of enemy grunts will perform kamikaze rushes or snipe ...

Call of Duty: World at War

By Max Slowik

Does a change of venue make it a unique game? I don't know, there've been other Pacific Theater games, although the stuff on the Ost Front are a little slim--multiplayer-only held again...

Call of Duty: World at War

By Kyle Monson

follow that pattern. The World War 2 visuals and cutscenes are beautiful, the motion-centric game play is fun (especially with the Wii Zapper), and the action is nonstop. There's also a fun online component. World at War might just be the first-person ...

Beautiful visuals and cutscenes. Makes good use of the Wii Zapper. Polished feel

Control style can be finicky. Quirky multiplayer format will take some getting used to

Call of Duty: World at War is one of the best, most polished first-person shooters available for the Wii.

I'm thrilled to say that Call of Duty: World at War does not follow that pattern. For more on this game, see 1Up.com's review of Call of Duty: World at War Platform Tested: Wii Genre: Action ESRB: M for Mature You probably know the pattern of...

Call of Duty: World at War

By Jonathan Parkyn

It's back to the past for the latest instalment of the Call of Duty series

World at War is definitely one of the series' highlights

World at War could be seen as something of a step back for the Call of Duty series, which shifted to the present day with last year's Modern Warfare. Instead of re-using the previous game's frenetic contemporary setting, World at War returns the...

Call of Duty: World at War Review

By Steven Williamson

The explosive opening sequence in Call of Duty World At War signals the beginning of an emotional and thrilling ride through some of World War II's Pacific and Eastern Europe campaigns. We've taken a different approach than usual to writing this ...

Cinematic visuals and soundtrack ; Great A.I makes it a rewarding challenge ; Brilliant co-op and multiplayer modes

Extremely tough in places

One of the best shooters this year, Call of Duty: World At War is an explosive and powerful cinematic experience.

Call of Duty: World at War Review - Gaming Reviews

By Stuart Andrews

After the excellent Call of Duty 4, the series jumps back to WWII with surprising results.

Kicking off with a sort of pop-art summary of the Pacific portion of World War II, it soon shifts into some gratuitously nasty scenes of Japanese PoW torture followed by righteous vengeance as the good old boys of the USA bring the pain to the......

Call of Duty: World at War

By Tae K Kim

To call it Call of Duty 4 with a World War II skin is insulting to Treyarch because Call of Duty: World at War is so much more than that. It's a great follow up to Modern Warfare and proves that World War II is still a viscerally charged conflict to ...

order as much as possible from the heavily consumed out scenario, the player heats up this time not only the digital Germans, but also fired Japanese forces in the Pacific - such as with a flamethrower. In the sixth of 15 missions, we must say, three mort...

Call of Duty: World at War

By Spieletester.com

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

Call of Duty 4 beat like a bomb - even in the truest sense of the word, because Infinity Ward delivered a faultless game with crackling tension, plenty of action and promising scenario. And because Infinity Ward just two years for a new Call of Duty needs...

WWII-topic Very briefly ... self y: x = 1 is not geradlinigerZusammenhanglose juxtaposition of SchauplaetzenDespawn produce with the help of certain innovations in the gameplay PunktenKeinerlei mission design is now very ausgelutscht

I have the game for his naivete with less than 80 abstrafen, but that would not work correctly. Sure, the singleplayer is in every point is extremely disappointing. Berlin, Stalingrad, the Pacific and how hot they all are there in every C-game to see. Tha...
