Summary

Game Description

Call of Duty: World at War is a first-person shooter and the latest installment in the Call of Duty video game series for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, DS, and PC. Moving back from the modern setting of CoD4, World at War is set in the Pacific theater and Eastern front of World War II. The violence is off the charts: this is a vision of World War II you've never seen before! Gone are gritty gray colors and sanitized violence. In its place are vibrant hues, gushing gore, and intense language. World at War will also expand upon Call of Duty 4's award-winning online multiplayer with new modes, drivable vehicles, and a host of lethal WWII-era weapons (including a flamethrower, the Tommy gun, and the world's first true assault rifle).

Call Of Duty World At War has it's moments!!

call of duty 5 offers the potential of WWII multiplayer gaming. It just dosen't have the best single player WWII expereince. the multiplayer features a highly enjoyable selection of perks,a handy clan system,and great game mods:zombie nazi,war,
ctf,and team deathmatch are highly enjoyable and I also enjoyed the co-op campaign.But I think they should have added more vehicles such as airplanes,jeeps,and motorcycles.This game is to me a WWII that needs a little more content to go on my favorites and some storyline and blockbuster moments in the campagin.
