Call of Duty: World at War Review

World at War Boxshot

Rating: 8 Out of 10

Call of Duty: World at War is from the guys who made Call of Duty 3, but not the guys who made Call of Duty 4, and it has returned to the World War II side of things against the Japanese Theater. This game has basically everything that you would expect from Call of Duty 4. The control scheme, the graphics, and the audio all are great and immerse yourself in the era. The story also makes a good impact and you can share that adventure with your friends with the 4 player cooperative campaign. There are some new weapons as well like bayonets and flamethrowers that should keep you interested for a while. The multiplayer system is a complete copy of Call of Duty 4 except it is back in World War II. The spawn points in the multiplayer are very bad and I am hoping that will be patched soon. You don’t like when people spawn behind ya or you spawn and it’s instant death. Lastly, a cool feature is when you beat the game, you get the Nazi Zombie gameplay. However, this is a familiar setting, with familiar guns, and familiar game mechanics. Also, expect to be frustrated on Veteran difficulty and be prepared for a lot of grenades being spam at your hiding location. Overall, this is a fun game, but it seems to be a direct copy off of Call of Duty 4 with no real improvements to the system. If you liked all of the Call of Duty games though, you will like this one as well.
