Treyarch ditches the number subtitle and expectedly returns to WWII and the Pacific theatre of war. World at War has extremely brutal gunplay and amazing online multiplayer and co-op modes, but don't expect much new and improved beyond CoD4.

Review

Every inch a "proper" Call of Duty game, this is a great WWII shooter

Nov 11, 2008

If there’s one word that sums up World at War for us, it’s ‘brutal’. The latest Call of Duty, developed over the last two years by Treyarch – not series creator Infinity Ward – is a brutal slog through a WWII setting unlike any other. You may think you’ve ‘been there’ and ‘done that’ when it comes to this particular global conflict, but after five minutes in either the blood-soaked single player campaign or the frenzied multiplayer you’ll realise that this is far from your average, tired WWII shooter. ...

Seriously, no offense to Call of Duty: World at War’s single player. Toiling through the Pacific and Eastern European theater, communicating with Keifer Sutherland and Gary Oldman, face melting flamethrowers that spits face-melting liquid death? We’re not complaining. You could argue that the immersive cinematic campaign helped Call of Duty 4 move 10 million copies, but it’s certainly not the reason why a healthy fraction ... » Read Full Call of Duty: World at War preview

This game rocked! I beat it on Normal mode in two days. Played it from 7:34 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Then the next day from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is even a zombilicious level that you kill Zombays in! To make the anticipation rise in your blood stream, watch the credits ALL the way through, and then watch the zombie cut scene! I give this game a 5 out of 5. The use of sniper levels from COD4 and 5 makes these games worth playing. Man is this intense! Peace to the nations, and God Bless the USA!
