Summary

Game Description

Call of Duty: World at War is a first-person shooter and the latest installment in the Call of Duty video game series for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, DS, and PC. Moving back from the modern setting of CoD4, World at War is set in the Pacific theater and Eastern front of World War II. The violence is off the charts: this is a vision of World War II you've never seen before! Gone are gritty gray colors and sanitized violence. In its place are vibrant hues, gushing gore, and intense language. World at War will also expand upon Call of Duty 4's award-winning online multiplayer with new modes, drivable vehicles, and a host of lethal WWII-era weapons (including a flamethrower, the Tommy gun, and the world's first true assault rifle).

Call of Duty World at War

I have always been a Call of Duty fan. When I first got my playstation 2 for Christmas, Call of Duty: Finest Hour was one of the games that came with it. I remember following my Russian comrade through the hellish Stalingrad and I immediately fell in love with the series.

What I loved about it was WWII...which is why I was saddened to hear that they were making a "Modern Warfare" and now a "Modern Warfare 2". I used to have a certain prejudice against the whole Modern Warfare deal, but I got over it...I still wish that they would continue with WWII action.

Okay, enough rambling, back 2 the game!

COD has always been good for their story telling, and they lived up to their expectations on that part. The controls were solid, easy to learn and simple to use.

There was a good variety of weaponry that I enjoyed, its easy to find which weapons you like and which just aren't for you in a game like this.

The game is a very short game. 6-8 hrs, max. This is to be expected of CoD but still...I was still hungry for more when it was over.

Now, when you finish the game you get this awesome feature: Nazi Zombie mode. I at first assumed this to be some stupid joke of a feature but it is actually REALLY cool and very addicting. This is definitely a part of the game that you want to play with your friends, it is amazing. You feel like you are actually attempting to survive a zombie apocalypse. Although there are some stupid parts of the feature...like the fact that it costs money to move a couch off of a staircase? But I got over it quickly, its a great feature...actually kind of scary.

Now...my only big complaint about this game...I'm probably going to rant a little about this but LISTEN, this is the STUPIDEST thing I have ever seen in a game. I beat the game a couple days after buying it and invited my friend over to play some co-op mode with me. He came over, we sat down, got out the pop and chips and started the game, but WTF!!?!?!?!?!? For some strange, unexplained reason, when you play on co-op mode in this game, they take a good 1/3 of the space out of the mini screens to put up some stupid background. WHY GOD WHY!? What could the purpose of this possibly be!? Yes, the background is cool, its pretty, its nice to look at...but when I am shooting at Nazis, I am NOT looking at the background, I am aiming at the Nazis! The screen got that much smaller because of the stupidity of the creators of this game. Seriously- who made this game and said "Hey, we don't really need to make the screens full sized on co-op mode, they're already cut in half but...why don't we just take out a little bit more? I don't think half is enough."

And why did someone think that this was a good idea for Co-op but not for multiplayer deathmatches, why do it for one but not the other? I just don't understand! And that is why I said that multiplayer is both awesome and sucky at the sametime, I really like multiplayer deathmatches. There is a cool thing you get after 7 kills, a pack of dogs run after your enemy and kill him. I think that is SO cool. But...co-op is just...flawed.

As a final note, the computer is a little dumb. You could be standing right next to them sometimes and they wouldn't even know it.

To conclude, this is one of the best fps games I have ever played. It is definitely worth the time and the money. For your own health, buy this game. Its worth it. If you are looking for a great co-op venture, however, just buy Resident Evil 5....
