Note that this is a review of the single player campaign, as I don't have Xbox-Live Gold. Running on the Call of Duty 4 engine, World at War is essentially a World War II version of the Modern Warfare series; not only is it identical graphically, the cut-scenes preceding every mission is done in the same style, beginning with an overview of the globe, and eventually zooming in to the character that you'll be playing as. Naturally, Treyarch decided to go with that style after the success of Modern Warfare and the sub-par results from Call of Duty 3. The gore level has also been increased as well, making the game more realistic and gritty, such as arms, legs, and heads being blown off. Even though it is niether surprising nor exciting that Activision opted to go back to the second world war, they decided to do something different this time: that is, you play as an American soldier in the Pacific front against the Imperial Japanese. I was also pleased to find that you get to play as a Soviet soldier in both the Soviet Union and Germany, which was one of my favorite series of missions in Call of Duty 2; it was nice to finally play a role in one of the final battles of the war, which was the taking of the Reichstag, since in all of the other games you only seem to pave the way to a later victory. The addition of the flame-thrower, along with the ability to set palm trees ablaze using it, also added spice to the run-and-gun gameplay. Some of the levels were also quite challenging on Veteran, particularly Burn E'm Out and The Heart of the Reich, forcing me to adopt new tactics that weren't necessary for lower difficulties. Like Treyarch's other Call of Duty game, the soundtrack is good, although the game itself is just a few paces behind Infinity Ward's releases. The Nazi Zombies bonus game found at the end of the campaign is also an effective way to add some variety to the standard World War II shooting gameplay, although its best played with others. Hopefully Activision will move away from World War II, and make a Call of Duty game based on some of the other wars in history, like the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, the Korean War, Vietnam, or the Gulf Wars.Read full review
Yes EA has declined in their quality with the Medal of Honor series, but there has yet to be a sucessful challenger overall. WAW just feels like Modern Warfare with a WWII patch. The graphics are good, but the gameplay and controls are second rate compared to MOH. I mean you can't even duck behind cover and peek out, you have to actually move (slowly) into the open and back in a shootout. I believe MOH has allowed you peek since at least Frontline (Best WWII Shooter of all time, too bad it lacked multiplayer). I think even Goldeney on the N64 had the feature. I don't understand why COD doesn't. Anyway, take a lesson Activision. EA, also, take note, get your act together and clean up the MOH franchise with your next release, go back to what made Frontline and European Assault, even Rising Sun (at least it had decent online play) Classics, with HD graphics and solid online/multiplayer and Medal of Honor will be restored in its Honor. Peace.Read full review
Ever since Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare, the Call of Duty Series have been known by many to be the best War game out there. But, can Call of Duty: World At War keep the fire burning? First off, let's talk about the single player campaign (which is also playable with 3 other players over Xbox Live/PSN). The campaign is short, being about 5-6 hours long. There's great voice acting by actors Kiefer Sutherland (24), and Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight). You follow the stories of two different soldiers in the Russian and American Armies. The campaign is short, but sweet. The addition of the flamethrower in some levels is likely to keep players busy because the environment is destructible (meaning that you can set trees on fire and engulf people). If you are good enough to beat the campaign, then you unlock my favorite part of the game, "NAZI ZOMBIES." It's a game mode where you are trapped in a building, and endless waves of zombies attack the building (this is also playable with 3 other gamers on Xbox Live/PSN). I rate the campaign mode- 3.5/5 Now, multiplayer mode is where the game really shines! If you were a fan of the previous installment's online multiplayer, then get ready to have that same experience over again! It's based on a ranking system where you rank up every time you earn a certain amount of points, while the more you rank up, you unlock things like better weapons and perks. Perks are upgrades to help you have an edge on the battlefield. Examples are "Stopping Power," which makes your bullets do more damage, and "Martyrdom," which makes you drop a live grenade after everytime you die. If you do well with your weapons, then you can add things such as scopes, bigger ammunition cartridges, bayonets, etc. There are 9-10 maps, and there are different game modes such as:Team Deathmatch, Free for All, Search and Destroy, Sabotage, War, Headquarters, and more... It doesn't matter if you are an experienced Call of Duty player, or a beginner who wants a bit of fun, this game is well suited for about everyone's tastes. I rate the online multiplayer- 4.5/5 I decided to buy this game because I was a fan of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, so I expected the same thing, and what I got was the same thing with a WWII twist. But, this game is rated M (for mature). There is a lot of Strong Language, and this is definitely the most graphic, and violent war game ever created. So, look online about the game's content, and if you think it's OK for your kid, or whoever you are buying it for, then just get it... Overall, the game is a: 4.5/5Read full review
