Call of Duty: World at War Tin Case Collector's Edition reviews

If you thought modern warfare was fun, wait until you see World at War. It's being developed by Treyarch, rather than infinity ward, but don't worry, its in good hands. Singleplayer looks far more epic than modern warfare, not to mention the 4 player online co-op, and has finally included the Pacific Front. Although there still isn't a campaign from the opposite perspective, playing the americans and Russians is still going to be fun.

With multiplayer the look and feel is relatively the same, yet very much refreshed and far more ferocious. Customisation will be increased, with perks that change the physical look of your avatar from Shades (that negate flash bangs) or gas masks (that negate Tabun Nerve Gas). I can't wait to play this beast in November.

While the WW2 era is starting to get fairly overused and boring in the gaming industry, Call of Duty 5 is a stellar title to fill the gap.

Singleplayer wise, you will fighting as a US marine and Russian soldier in the Pacific theatre of war and the Eastern front, usually underused in the WW2 genre of shooter games, which is a good thing as the Japanese and germans offer a larger variety of enemies – snipers in trees and banzai charges just to name a few. The Storyline is engaging enough however not to the extent of Brother in Arms or Call of Duty 4's to have believable tangible characters. While the Singleplayer is fun, many of the levels have poor level design, for instance, running through a trench being killed at the same point by the same mounted machine gun is not fun, it is frustrating. The lack of flanking however does not give you any choice. Respawning enemies with invisible triggers can frustrate you more.

Multiplayer wise, World at war excels above Call of duty 4. World at war has kept all the best parts of cod4's multiplayer (killstreaks and perks) and replaced much of the aspects of it's predecessor with more enjoyable alternatives. Weapons feel more balanced and has all the substance of previous titles in the franchise that made the games fun.

Co-op is a nice feature to this game, the singleplayer campaign is playable co-operatively online with strangers or friends and the Nazi zombies mode, which puts you and 3 others against an endless horde of zombies is excellent fun

Graphics is a hit and miss, In parts it looks spectacular with brilliant lighting, explosive set pieces and some superb character models however there are times where the low res textures and animations will come in, but Generally the game looks and runs great with these graphics

Got this game for a pretty cheap price (thanks MA!), and even though its considered an old game- its still AWESOME!
The gameplay design is excellent, the environment and the enemy AI makes it very convincing you are in the boots of a soldier in WWII. Unlike some other FPS games, this one requires constant attention especially on higher difficulty. It is easy to be killed so you are encouraged to think about who to kill and to which cover you run to.
The story line feels detached (except that everyones fighting to get to Berlin) because you play as an American soldier and a Russian soldier, but I really enjoy the small introductions to each level just to keep you updated on whats happening. The missions are well thought out and the objectives are creative and WWII inspired.
No major negative points, I did find the overall game rather short, and on very rare occasions the AI are rather stupid (only rarely), these shouldnt be bother though.

Overall, Brilliant. This game emerses players deeply into a world on hurt. A must have for Call of Duty fans, and a “must try out” for FPS and WWII game fanatics.

This game is like real warfare all over again awsome weapons graphics levels skills and best of all its pure intense action. It has got mean story line. This is the game you want to get more than any other game on the market.

Brilliant game,short campaign but what do you expect from a war game. But even though the campaign is short its good and replayable in co-op. Great online play as expected from a cod game . And Nazi Zombies will keep you going for hours Its that awesome.

I waited with anguish until this was released,BUT after "call of duty " 1 and 2 ,which were great games,this was very bad indeed. The computer generated soldiers there to help you did most of the fighting.I could follow and do nothing. The enemy would be three feet away and not shoot at me and the allies would die and be reborn immediately. Sorry,maybe next time.

Call Of Duty: World At War (5) would have to be one of the best WWII games i have played in quite a long time. Its nice too see that CoD has come back to history instead of being todays style of fighting as in modern. This game features 24/7 fighting, 8.5/10 graphics and always has new surprises. This would be a great game to sink your teeth into if you have been needing that little bit of history in your life that you feel has been missing. Overall CoD World at War ill give 4/5. Good gameplay, good graphics (and the best part is you win!)

I didn't quite find the single player game as engaging as previous Call of Duty games. But still enjoyable.

Multiplayer was a novelty with the ability to call in packs of dogs, but I found I didn't really stick with the multiplayer for that long.

Good game, but not quite up to the standard of Call of Duty 4.

As a game, CoD: WaW is a raging success, a must play for fans of first person shooters and world war 2 buffs alike. Taking a break from the tired formula of ‘crush the Nazi war machine’, CoD: WaW gives players the opportunity to enter the pacific front and fight the Japanese. There are plenty of poignant moments throughout the game, which is paced in such a manner that you are given time to reflect on the actual events this game is based on. The tin box and canteen you get in the collectors edition are rubbish though.

This is a franchise that just keeps improving everytime that they release a game. Some outfits like to rebadge the same old rubbish but the COD series just keeps on improving cant wait for their next effort

Multilayer is amazing!
single player is just as good!
One of the best games of the year :)
