    WWII again? Really? ...no seriously, your kidding

    Posted .

    The Good: Multiplayer...its amazing how multiplayer saves some games. Single player is worth a play to kill time if nobody is is online (or to unlock the zombie level). But honestly the only reason you should buy this game is for the multiplayer. It has all of the aspects we loved about CoD4 plus extra classes for prestieges, a couple extra perks and drivable vehicles. The Bad: If you liked Call of Duty 4: Modern warfare, expect this to be nothing like it. Sorry to disappoint but Infinity Ward, even though they did use the same engine. The single player is swapped with enemies and if you stand in one place for more then 3 seconds expect an MG-42 or a squad of banzais to kill you. And really, why did we go back to WWII? Modern Warfare was the best game of the year, mainly because it wasnt a WWII game. The Ugly: Graphics arent bad, especially if you like shades of gray and beige. They didnt at all try and expand the use of color in this game in some cases the only thing on a map that isnt gray brown or black is the flag that your supposed to capture. Still waiting for CoD: Modern Warfare 2....

    Takes some getting used to

    Everybody keeps giving this game bad reviews because it takes place during WW2. Hello!? You knew that before you bought/rented the game!! If you didn't want to play another WW2 shooter, why did you decide to play it? Anyway, when I first started playing this game I wasn't really into it much. The guns were really hard to use and didn't like the addition of tanks. By the way the tanks are nearly indestructible. As I started to play the game more and more I started to like it. You'll have to level up a little bit to unlock some decent weapons but that just makes it more challenging. People need to stop comparing the game to COD4. COD4 was and still is the best multiplayer war shooter out there. The two games take place during different times and I think people got used to the M16 and the M4. Hello people!! Those kind of guns didn't exist back in WW2!!! GET OVER IT!! At least there were still automatic and semi-automatic weapons. The best sniper rifle I have ever used however, is in COD5. The PTRS. One word, AWESOME! Anyway, long story short, buy the game. AND STOP COMPARING THE TWO!!!

    I have been playing call of duty since the first one came out and I would have to say this is the best of them. It has great graphics awesome game play the weapons are authentic. Best of all is the online and zombie mode. The community online is a great place and zombie mode is pretty fun if you ever get bored of killing or being killed by your friends you can always just join up and give zombie mode a try.

    Do not buy this game at this time

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    What can I say about CoD: WaW... The multiplayer is very fun and it will push you to get to level 65 and get all the weapons. The bad thing about the multiplayer is that many people use tanks which ruins the whole experience. The zombie mode is the only reason I bought the game because who doesn't like zombies? The graphics are the same as Modern Warfare 1 which means there will be no improvement on your gaming experience (if you are a veteran of CoD 4). The story is very challenging (I beat em all in veteran) and it is really fun. I love the flamethrower but it just overheats too fast. The bouncing betty gets me a lot of kills but it is overused. If you are reading this review and deciding if you should buy it...dont. When Modern Warfare 2 gets released in 5 months the population of World at War will be reduced (at least that's what I think).

    This game looks great. The new weapons will be awesome to use and now that there is co-op, you don't have to play by yourself. Only one problem. Went back to World War-2. They should have done 2 more modern warfares then 3 futures. All in all this games looks great, but next time, make it modern of future war.

    I've had this since Christmas, and nothing has gone wrong. Sometimes I spend hours on end playing this game online. This really is the best game ever, although it could be slightly more diffucult and require a little more thought into it. If you're looking for a challenging game that puts your mind to the test, this MIGHT not be the game for you. But if you enjoy FPS games, buy this game. Now.

    Best Call of Duty Yet

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Call of Duty: World at War has reached many new heights with this World War II related installment. Graphics, gameplay, and AI actions are just a few of the improved aspects of yet another COD game. The graphics mechanism used here is the best that I have seen used yet. The forests of Japan come to life as the Banzai raiders attempt to oust you, the American forces, from their homeland. Trees sway in the wind and smoke rises from the fallen fighter plane while the driver sits unconcious. Ambush is ripe in the Japanese homeland. COD5 also takes you on an adventure to Geermany and the Russian offensive on the German front. You will fight as a Russian soldier and push the Germans back to Berlin, while eventually storming the capital itself. Great weapons have been added to World at War that will make you jump from your seat. A flamethrower has been added. Yes...a flamethrower. Now, you can scorch the enemy (more like scorch the enemieS) with the new device. There is also a bayonet which always comes in handy while dealing with Japan's close quarter combat. Overall, Call of Duty: World at War stands out among all of the other installments in the series. It has superior gameplay, features, and graphics compared to all the rest. Even the campaign mode is replayable over and over again, which makes this game is a must have. When will be your Call of Duty?

    This is a pretty good game. I personally enjoy Zombies and Online Multiplayer the best though. The only reason I started the campaign was so I could play Zombies, but I found out the update let you play it without beating campaign, so..that was the end of the campaign for me.

    I did not think I would like going back to WWll. However it is nothing like playing the old COD games.I enjoy using some of the WWll weapons such as the flame thrower, for those that have played COD4 you will enjoy the 7 kills in a row option (call in the dogs)

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Its the best world war 2 game out but it has many issues such as the multiplayer it always cuts me off of the servers even though i have a very strong internet connection its a huge problem to always get cut off in the middle of your games the campaign is pretty good but some of the levels are way to hard that they are impossible to beat on vetern difficulty its supposed to be hard but not impossible the graphics also are lacking from modern warefare but all in all it is a good game.

    So-so, it's hard to explain

    The multiplayer of this game is pretty cool, but if you've played COD4, you'll want to go back. The two worst things about this game by far are your AI teammates and the enemy grenade spam. I'm not kidding about either of these; it is the most annoying thing in any video game. The teammates are COMPLETELY useless. Okay, they do occasionally take out a guy, but I've had COUNTLESS times where I run up, then get shot by an enemy next to me or behind me; BUT the worst thing is that my teammate is standing RIGHT NEXT to the enemy, and doesn't do anything. Grenade spams in this game are like no other. You are prone (or crouched, doesn't matter) behind a box or trench, then one by one (or three by three,) grenades start POURING on top of you. If you're playing on veteran, you get shot if you try to run away; so you just start tappin' the right bumper as fast as you can, hoping to get every grenade out of your face. The enemies really don't care about your teammates (neither should you) and start chucking the grenades RIGHT at you (right is capitalized because they hit your face, then bounce to the ground because the enemies have such good arms) I decided to say i would reccomend this because, it still has good gameplay during multiplayer, but, i would reccomend it to them in the future, because this game is NOT worth $60. You don't feel immersed in the game; You feel like you're playing a video game (funny). If you want to hear about some bad stuff in multiplayer, there's a few topics. One of the good things is that they've fixed the spawning problems (MOST of the time) where you spawn next to an enemy a lot. But, i played an entire round with only two kills, because I couldn't find anybody. That's just boring, spending a whole round LOOKING for enemies, and not killing enemies. One of the worst aspects of CODWAW is the (multiplayer) tanks! they're so annoying! the bazooka is useless (it might be better if using the extra explosion damage perk, i dunno), because it takes about FIVE bazookas to kill one tank. Seriously. and you only spawn with two. So, in short, it might be a good game for christmas, but maybe next christmas when the price goes down. And you may think, "how could the mess up COD that bad? it cant be THAT bad." But it is that bad. If you don't have COD4, get it before you get this. You'll be happy you did.

    This is the best game ever. The online play is great and same with the gameplay. The only bad thing about online is if you have an annoying little kid who is swearing and getting on everyone's nerves but then you could just mute them. This is definitely the best game in my collection and have put the most hours into it.

    Well, if you're into online play that is extremely intense, this is it. Every day, you can find over 120,000 people online playing in the various senarios. Zombies are a great addition and gives you two games in one. Would love to see the zombie area increased, as well as adding vehicles to zombies.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This games campaign is absolutely amazing. It's beautifully made and the online co-op campaign is awesome! Unfortunately the AI in the game is a bit weak. You can come behind a group of enemies and knife them all (or shoot them all) and if the other soldiers are engaged in battle they won't notice you charging them. The online multiplayer was told to me like this. "Mike, you are going to ABSOLUTELY HATE this game until you become level 24." This statement is completely true. For the first three days I played online all I did was curse at the TV, but if you are willing to stick it out and give it a chance, you start to level up and get better weapons and "perks". It just takes a little time to get settled in, but once you are it's an absolutely amazing game.

    this game is a very fun game. i have it for pc, but you are wondering? why is this person have the pc version of the game and reviewing the xbox 360 version? Well, i played it at my friends house and i wanted to play multiplayer, cause i never had before(this was before i had it for pc) and i joined a match.... 2 or 3 hackers in the match wallhacking and godmode and everything.... dont get me wrong, this is a great game, but if you wanna play multiplayer, buy it for pc, it is the same price as the consoles and in my opinion it is just a better game.
