Advantages: Pacific Theatre is amazing, Sound effects are good, More fun than Call of Duty 3, Flamethrowers! Disadvantages: Eastern front missions look drab, Occasional glitch, Poor multiplayer

Having played Call of Duty 3 for the Wii, and not being too disappointed about the Wii missing out of Call of Duty 4 (being a WW2 history fanatic) I was deeply looking forward to Call of Duty: World at War, returning to World War 2 and it was apparently going to incorporate the, until then, elusive Pacific theatre of war. It proved to be a very good game, but with some minor adjustments it could have been a great game.
Gameplay
Gameplay wise, Call of Duty: World at War is very similar to its predecessors and it is hard not to draw comparisons from Call of Duty 3 for the Wii. I remember the tacky feeling system in Call of Duty 3 that had you rotate/push/pull your Wiimote to perform certain tasks. Luckily this is dropped in this game and aside from using the Wiimote as the cursor it is not used elsewhere in gameplay, which is what it should be.
You follow Private Miller in the Pacific theatre, following him from Makin Island through Peleliu to the Battle of Okinawa. Whilst in the other half of the game, you follow Private Petrenko in the dying months of the war in Europe, through the Battle of Seelow Heights and into the Battle of Berlin, which includes the historically inaccurate raising of the Soviet flag over the Reichstag. The gameplay is mostly the same though the Pacific theatre seems much more threatening, the beautiful scenery disguising some very difficult levels, complete with Banzai attacks from Japanese troops which can easily lead to death of your character.
Aside from this Call of Duty: World at War is very much alike the WW2 first person shooters before it. Picking up new guns, of which you can hold one and one in reserve, is often vital to completing the level. A new feature over Call of Duty 3 is the inclusion of handguns, which whilst light on ammo are very steady and feel so much better to shoot than your average rifle. There is a great deal of pro-American bias throughout the game, which is to be expected when dealing with the still rather touchy subject of the Pacific theatre of WW2. The gameplay of this Call of Duty is rather similar to WW2 shooter before it, but the inclusion of handguns and the Pacific theatre do set it apart from others. 4/5
Graphics
Graphics are not this games strongpoint, in the Pacific side of the game the environments are very interesting and colourful whilst the Eastern Front missions can be rather bland and disinteresting. Certain levels look better than others, with the Wana Ridge mission being noticeably beautiful with fields of flowers, rain and the constant explosions. Graphically the characters and weapons are of a rather high quality, tanks less so but they are still satisfactory. However I have noticed certain road signs are very blurry and heavily pixellated, and unusually some of your comrades sometimes appear to be cocking and firing a rifle which does not graphically exist. Glitches aside Call of Duty World at War is graphically good, though the Eastern Front missions often see generic grey building and corridor reappearing often. The amazing looking buildings and environments in the Pacific missions more than make up for this though, Shuri Castle in particular looks beautiful and it seems a shame to call in airstrikes on sections of it. 4/5
Sound
The music in this Call of Duty is well suited to the game, often building up tension without being off putting, though in the last two levels the triumphant music can overpower the sound effects and make things confusing. On the other hand the sound effects are always very good, it sounds realistic and perfectly encapsulates the sound of war, from the loud but realistic gunfire to the cries of comrades and the sound of mortar rounds landing yards from you. 4/5
Longevity
Call of Duty, as a FPS, has almost limitless replayability value. Following completing the main game there is not much else to do, there are 14 missions and should take the average gamer 15-30 minutes per mission. You could try and complete each mission on the hardest ranking. However, in my opinion, first person shooters are almost endless, as you can replay them time and time again, especially if you are interested in this period of history. 4/5
Multiplayer
Multiplayer in this game can get confusing. There is the obvious multiplayer mode in the menu which is playing with either friends or strangers via Nintendo WFC, this is indeed fun though sometimes the lag can get quite severe. This cannot be played with another player next to you, the only way to play like this is the side-by-side mode, as advertised on the back of the game box. However personally I got confused how to access this mode until I stumbled across it whilst playing. Just click new game/resume as normal and have two Wii remotes connected, another crosshair will appear and another gun/bullet graphic will appear on screen, in the top right. The other player plays as normal, firing weapons, reloading (off screen) and being able to pick up different weapons. This method of multiplayer gameplay is quite fun but not exactly what I expected. 3/5
Overall
On paper, Call of Duty: World at War is a perfect WW2 first person shooter. One of the most interesting battles of my time in my opinion, the Battle for Berlin is present in a major way. The Pacific theatre is included for the first time and also present are handguns, flamethrowers and no more frantic Wiimote action just to set a bomb. However some historical inaccuracies, some poor graphics in places and a confusing multiplayer do let it down slightly. That said, if you are a fan of first person shooters or WW2 I highly recommend this game. 4/5
Thanks for reading, any comments you have will be gratefully received. Also on Dooyoo.
Advantages: Great gameplay even better Online Disadvantages: Quite simply the graphics
...I have always been a call of duty fan and when i heard the 5th version was coming on to the wii, i was very exited. I pre-ordered the game straight away.
Once it arived on thje release day i pluged it in andstarted to play the story mode. At first, getting used to the controlls was difficult and i played teh first l;evel around 20 times before i completed it. Eventually by the second level i was a pro! The graphics were good in terms of the wii ... ...and full of suspense. At times i felt like i was in the game. There are 2 sides of the story, one is the American and Japan conflict in the islands around Japan and one is teh Russian invasion of Germany. Both in WW2. Even though there are hundreds of WW2 games for all consoles, this is the best due to its story and range of weaponary. What completes this game and makes it a must buy is its online feature. Players join others in a group of 4 to go ...

Advantages: Easy to get into Disadvantages: Unable to communicate with anyone whilst playing lol
Girls, this is the IDEAL GAME to treat your man to if you want to keep him occupied and out of your hair for a few hours on a Sunday morning, leaving you in peace and quiet to catch up with the Hollyoaks omnibus in bed with a cup of coffee lol. I even managed to catch up with Ship Wrecked (which I have to say as a pile of poop at the moment).
I bought this game and the wii zapper gun attachment from Game as a Valentines Day pressie for my boyfriend ... ...a few times but don't seem to have the knack as much as he does - although he is a soldier so would be better than me anyway ;o)
The graphics are awesome and you can very easily get sucked into the game - clearly this is helped by my new fab tv too hehe
Will practice some more and update this review properly soon. ...

I borrowed this game of a friend a couple of weeks ago. At first i thought that this game was too hard and i just wanted to give up on it but after a bit of getting used to it and a hundred attempts at the first level i really got in to it. Start on a hard level at first and then if you find it too hard you can always reduce the level. I started it on an average level and i admit it was too hard so i completed it on easy. The game is very life like ...
