A world at war

Advantages: Great single player campaign, nice graphics, decent online experience
Disadvantages: Historically innacurate at times, animation a bit clunky, addition of vehicles

...worth a purchase if you like first-person shooters and personally I enjoyed the return to World War 2 war scenes. However, following 'Call of Duty 4', this does disappoint a little, but only a little....

Call of Duty 5: World at War

Advantages: Brilliant Graphics, great War battles!
Disadvantages: Handling of character

...of the US campaign left me cold. It just never reaches the heights of the incredible nuke scene from Call of Duty 4. The Russian campaign is what saves World at War's single-player. From the grim first introduction to your character, hiding with the corpse of his comrades as the Wehrmacht finish off your injured buddies, to the final, the story cracks along at a rare pace. Still, much of it seems like a mindless run-and-gun, and there's far more cases of insta-death too. The games got some noticeably weaker points than the franchise's last outing, the full campaign being playable in co-op and the transposing of CoD4's excellent multiplayer to World War 2 papers over most of the cracks. Vehicles have also been added to the online elements doesn't really inspire, but the Nazi Zombie game, which can be unlocked is well worth a play. You get...

Call Of Duty: World At War

Advantages: Very Good Muliplayer And Very Good Graphics
Disadvantages: Story Mode Is Not That Good

...Call Of Duty World At War This Game is an excellent game if you like to play online. I didnt like the story mode to this game as it got very boring extremely quickly. One new thing on this game is that you can play Natzi Zombies, which is a new game mode. Basically you have to kill all the zombies without dying and every time you reach the next level it gets a lot harder. On CoD World At War you can play Co-op in the story mode which is where you play through different levels in the story mode with 3 other players. The graphics on this game are very good if you play in high definition. The guns look good and all the maps have a really good layout. On this game the multiplayer is excellent. You can play many different game modes but team deathmatch is probably the best. When you search for a game online you...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (PS3)

Call of duty world at war the truth

Advantages: call of duty 4 but 60 years in the past, nazi zombies re just the best
Disadvantages: just a copy of call of duty 4, not a bad thing just nothing new

... Call of duty world at war i now have both call of duty world at war both on the Nintendo wii and the play station 3, after the first five minutes i decided that i would never play the wii version again, the ps3 version is so much better, with one extra mission in campaign, Nazi zombies which is worth £20, no lagg, more maps and multiplayer modes, campaign co-op and competitive co-op, way better visuals and most importantly dlc (downloadable content) although cost makes the game larger and more to do. i own also call of duty 4 modern warfare on the ps3, unfortunately even with no Nazi zombies, trophies and co-op call of duty modern warfare is still better, even though it is 2 years older than world at war. also i feel as if treyarch has just nicked everything from call of duty modern warfare and put it into call of duty but set...

Call of Duty World at War

Advantages: great multiplayer
Disadvantages: short campaign

...If you were a fan of COD 4, as I was, you should be a fan of this game too. First of all, the campaign. Follows the story of World War 1, with some great levels and lots of different features. Just like the previous installment, there is a sniping level with great effectiveness. There is a real sense of accomplishment when you finish the campaign. One criticism is that it could be slightly longer. I would say that it is roughly 10 hours of gameplay. However, when the campaign is complete, there is still plenty more to do! The online multiplayer features are one of the greatest in gaming technology. In WaW, online competitive campaign has been introduced. This enables any xbox live member to play the campaign with friends or people that are playing it online at the same time. Along with the competitive campaign, another new feature is...

Call of Duty: World at War

Advantages: Great fun to play, great graphics and sound, fantastic multiplayer.
Disadvantages: World War 2- yawn?

..., 2008 when Call of Duty: World at War crashed onto our shelves. -------- Story -------- The story of Call of Duty 5 is played largely from two character?s First Person view points. One such perspective is that of Dimitri of the Soviet Red Army and the other being that of Private Miller, a recruit of the American Marines. The story takes us on the winding path that led us to the finale of World War 2, which throughout is an involving, emotional experience, even if it has largely been seen before in the other Call of Duty games. World War 2, with all due respect has become a little bit boring and clichéd when featured in video games and for these reasons I would rate the story as being fairly average. Notable levels to look out for however, without giving too much away, are levels putting you in the position as a on-the-run sniper and later...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (Xbox 360)

The best War of the World by far.

Advantages: Great soundtrack, thorougly enjoyable from start to finish
Disadvantages: None

...After reviewing the Tom Cruise film yesterday I thought I should review what I think is the best version of War of the Worlds (bar the original novel of course). ***Be aware that this review may well contain spoilers for the story, however even if you know the story from front to back, it would not spoil the enjoyment of this album.*** ~The Album~ Released in 1978 this album (if you don't know what an album is, ask your parents lol) tells the tale of a Martian invasion as told in H. G. Wells novel of the same name. The album consists of two discs and came in its own plastic sleeve, complete with a book/booklet which details the story as it unfolds and full lyrics for all the songs. The booklet also includes some marvellous paintings by Peter Goodfellow, Geoff Taylor and Michael Trim, my opinion is that The Birds by Geoff Taylor...

Call Of Duty World At War

Advantages: Graphics
Disadvantages: Repetiative if you dont have xbox live

...I'm a call of duty fan and always have been but this game is nowhere near as good as call of duty 4, Call Of Duty World At War is set in World War 2. The maps on this game aren't as good as the map on call of duty 4, the maps on this game are set in different places some on the cliff side, some inside buildings and some in deserts. There is a map pack that you can download off the market place it cost 800 Microsoft points, I don't have the map pack so I can't go into detail about the maps on it. There are different types of weapons to choose from bolt action rifles, shotguns, rifles, light machine guns. There are different types of grenades to choose from there is smoke grenades, frag grenades, flash bangs and sticky grenades. Most guns have add-ons that you can put on the guns, in the bolt action rifles you can add a scope so it...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (Xbox 360)

The World is War!

Advantages: Great online
Disadvantages: Boring story

...Call of Duty, Id say is the best FPS (First Person Shooter) in the world, especially with the last instalment of Call of Duty (Modern Warfare). And now on cue welcome Call of Duty 5 (World at War), you are placed (Yet again) in world war two as a lean mean fighting machine. The AI are smarter faster and die quicker and the graphics ain't bad either. However the story is a real let down, it took me 2 hours to complete the game because its so quick with only about 10-20 levels. Another however, the online game is amazing just like the last one. With even more power then the last, including tanks yes tanks!! Just like the last one getting kill streaks will get you some perks. * 3 kills will get recon * 5 kills will get you air strike * 7 kills will get you killer dogs So my advice only get this game if you have...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (PS3)

World at War Great Game Of The Year!!

Advantages: * Gritty, exciting story * Same excellent multiplayer system
Disadvantages: * Familiar setting * Familiar game mechanics

...Call of Duty: World at War has arrived just over one year from its earlier game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as released, Modern Warfare met with outstanding critical playing and World at War is likey to receive similar attention because it is very similar, in one sence this is a good thing, World at War reserves a lot of element that made Modern Warfare great, to weapons, mature fast pase action and deep engaging multiplayer system. In another sense this feel on simulatity works against World of War, though the new WWII error campaign is emotional and exiting,there's no getting away from the fact this is formilure territory for anyone who's played first person shooters before, another of a few noble weapons, the flame thrower, and the bayenette. Most of the other weapons (been there done that) feel, while World at War is refined...
