Call of Duty: World at War (Classics)

COD5 is an excellent game. There are some truly awesome fire fights and the graphics are top notch. Just the right amount of gore to make you feel you are dealing out some pain too. The music though awesome does in a way feel a little out of place being that the game is set in world war II and there is like metal guitar riffs playing during a battle!

The only issues I have is that it took me less than 5 hours to complete the game on normal and with basically no real driving story it felt like I had not accomplished anything. I also felt a little ripped off for the $129.95 price tag! So if you just want to play through the campaign rent this game. The only reason I can see in buying this game is for the multiplayer and I have not played that yet so I will not comment.

In my opinion COD4 is still the best of the COD series in that it has modern weapons, the best game play and just has excellent value for money.

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.

As this game has the original zombies I would recomend this game to players trying to get a feel for zombies in black ops and also for the limited online play this game offers due to numbers but is still worth this amount.

There was (and still is) a lot of debate surrounding Treyarch's decision to shift the COD series back into WWII. Personally I felt it to be a bit of a step backward, being that the market is flooded with games from this era in history (Medal of Honor, Brothers in Arms), but given the positive reviews it's had, I thought I'd at least give it a go.

For those of you who take stock of your gamerscore, this is a good title to get stuck into. A majority of the achievements are gained from the solo campaign, by completing missions on Veteran difficulty with a few more bonus achievements thrown in.

The Veteran difficulty is a real challenge, and I found myself stuck in intense fighting for hours trying to get through a part in a particular mission where every action was met with a wall of bullets. Persistence is key here, as often you'll slog for hours to get through one part, only to have four grenades appear on your danger indicator in the next, and no matter where you run, one of them sends you skyward and you have to start again. (F%#K!!!).

The AI can be a bit frustrating too, as there were countless times I'd line up a target in the midst of some intense fighting, only to have one of the AI controlled NPC's on my side jump in the way.

However, with those two points noted, World at War is a very challenging, intensive and rewarding shooter with a couple of extras (multiplayer Nazi Zombies anyone?) to keep you entertained.

Great graphics, great campaign, huge weapon selection and Nazi zombies is the best add on ever. Only thing is over-gore, once I shot a zombie in the arm and his leg went flying off. Should totally be R18.
