Description
Utilizing the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers, players will employ new features like cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date.
Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-operative play, bringing fresh meaning to the “No One Fights Alone” mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles. Nintendo Wii will also support a unique co-op mode for two players. For the first time ever players will experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. Whether playing competitively or cooperatively – if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War – they will always gain experience points. Based on a player’s experience rank and rank of the player’s friends, Call of Duty: World at War will scale dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge. Building on the Call of Duty 4 engine, Call of Duty: World at War thrusts players into the ruthless and gritty chaos of WWII combat like never been before, and challenges them to band together to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles of WWII that led to the demise of the Axis powers on the European and South Pacific fronts. The title re-defines WWII games by offering an uncensored experience with unique enemies and combat variety, including Kamikaze fighters, ambush attacks, Banzai charges and cunning cover tactics, as well as explosive on-screen action through all new cooperative gameplay.

"Excellent game but short campaign"
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.

"Good, gritty WW2 shooter"
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.

"A vast improvement, butnot the best."
I was extremely disappointed with Treyarch's Call of Duty 3, but Treyarc have indeed done themselves prod with Call of Duty: World at War. Its an intense and well-rounded WWII shooter.
The graphics are great, and the settings superb. I especially loved the plane rescue mission. Fantastic effort that reminded me much of the CoD:UO bomber mission. BUT! And there is always a but. Its definitely no Infinity Ward game. CoD4 blew me away. Why? Not because it was modern but because the story was deep. You actually be-friended the characters. In CoD5, when some of the main characters get KIA I felt nothing, because you never get attached in any way. The Russian campaign had the better of the two when it came to character building, but didn't match up to CoD4. Overall a great game, but I think we'll see a lot better from Infinity Ward's next release.
"Great but a few glitches"
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.
"Stunning Graphics is all I can describe it with.... Beautiful"
Just love the weapons, the Add-on, Nazi Zombies. Just love the custom weapon packs in multiplayer and how its a complete remake of the war itself.
