Game Reviews for Call of Duty: World at War (360)

The online is not as good as Modern Warfare 2 but Nazi Zombies was pretty fun even though I spent a ton of money on the new Maps. The Campaign sucked. The Spec Ops in Modern Warfare 2 is a lot worse, surprisingly, than Nazi Zombies. Nazi zombies can be played online but Spec Ops needs you to invite a friend and has no matchmaking. This game gets 4/5 Stars.· Like · Go to review -

Call of Duty World at War can best be described as Call of Duty 4 in World War 2. It play almost exactly like Call of Duty 4. The most notable differences being that addition of Beyonets, the return of vehicle combat(or just tanks, should I say) and if course a different set of weapons. There isnt an over welming amount of change or anything, but it's different enough.
World At War is on par if not a little better looking than Call of Duty 4. Not only that but now soldier will take on visible damage, such as when grenades go off next to them limbs may tear off or if they are shotin the head a hunk of their skull will fly off. It's deffinatly the most relentless game in the series. That said though, it's an excelent looking game.
The music is a bit mixed. Theres some really good instrumental pieces here. Then theres some rock music thrown in and not that it's bad or anything, but it just doesnt seem fitting. Over all the sound track is still pretty good.
The Campaign has it's ups and downs, but It's an excellent campaign and has some of the most memorable levels in the history of the series. The game isn't terribly long although I'd say it's a bit longer than Call of Duty 4 lasting around six or seven hours. There are also special achievements within the campaign that urge you to come back and collectible "death cards". These death cards act similar to Halo 3's skull. They can be used to change the campaign experience, making it easier, harder, more interesting or funny. For example one card causes your enemy to explode if you manage to head shot them. Another makes it to where bullets appear to be paint balls.
Not only that but for the first time in the Call of Duty series World at War Provides 4-player co-op and with competitive scoring options. With all this, this time around they campaign is just begging to be revisited time and time a again. Unfortunatly one crappy thing still remians. Just like past Call of Duties World at War is often set up to where enemies constantly respawn until you make it to a check point. It's rather annoying, but considering this is my only major beef with the campaign, I guess it's not such a big deal.
I must say, despite the fact that World at War taking place in World War II, the game does a good job of distenguishing it'self from other World War II related games. A good deal of the reason being the fact that part of the game takes place in Japan, a part of World War II that most games don't touch on often. And the Russian and American campaign play quite differently as the Japanese and German opponent fight differently. Theres also a Zombie mini game that you unlock after beating the campaign that plays alot like Gears of War 2's Horde mode.
The way the multiplayer works in World at War is similar to Call of Duty 4. Perks are back as is unlocking weapons with ranking up, challenges and kill streak bonuses. And Heck, you actually get something out of Prestige this time around. And the same advantages and disandages to this still remain. This will still keep some player addicted. And some new players will be pushed away, having to play against vets with higher level weapons, perks and being constantly punished for losing during a match by way of kill streak bonuses making it even more difficult to turn the tide of a losing battle. Even worse however is that now even playlist must be unlocked through ranking.
It's just a love, hate situation here. Some people are going to love it while other will hate it.
All together though, Call of Duty World War is a pretty good game and theres really not much reason anyone who enjoyed 4 to dislike this one.· Like · Go to review -
Call of duty, World at War is a great game. It is a great addition to the franchise and certinatly packs a punch when it comes to multiplayer and co-op. the campaign in this FPS is fun and very action packed. the only critisism i have is that it can get quite repetetive and many of the levels follow simular patterns. Some of the environments featured in the campaign are awsome. The player will travel to many places from the dark makin atoll environments in Japan to the polluted ruins of Berlin. The campaign is quite disturbing at times and can trigger the gamers emotions in the cut scenes, where real footage and statistics are shown. My favourite mission in the campaign is the Sniping mission, it is different and makes the player concentrate at all times. The multiplayer, like in COD 4 is addictive and can suck you in for hours. The maps are nicely varied between big and small. However, i personally think that the Nazi zombies mode is what makes this game stand out. Like multiplayer, this is an experience like no other and playing 4 player co-op with friends is simply great. Treyarch have done their best to try and extend the life of this game by releasing plenty of DLC. The extra 3 zombie maps just get better and better and keep you coming back for more. Overall - 9.0/10· Like · Go to review -
Not as good as COD4, but the maps create a variation if you are bored with the COD4 maps. Campaign can be played cooperatively. Multiplayer maps have a lot of bugs.· Like · Go to review -
