  • Call of Duty: World at War - PS3

    For all the talk about how first-person shooters have milked World War II dry, the conflict's sheer battlefield variety and tactical scope make it a natural home for the genre. World at War doesn't innovate with quite the ambitious vigor of Call of Duty 4, and it falters a little on the single-player front, but it's every bit as energizing where it matters most.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Developer Treyarch did a fantastic job of not reinventing the wheel with World at War. Rather, they took the best elements of Modern Warfare and expanded upon them. The end product is a thrilling experience that injects some of the visceral punch back into World War II. The single-player mode is short but sweet and it unlocks the awesome Nazi Zombies mode but the true strength of WaW is the compelling multiplayer, which should have you huddled in the virtual trenches for a long time to come.

  • Call of Duty: World at War - PC

    I'm a big CoD honk; I played the first two games religiously and every now and again, I'll reinstall one or the other and play through it from beginning to end. I didn't appreciate the third installment very much, mostly because they didn't bother releasing it on the PC (what were they thinking?) but the franchise redeemed itself with the sublime Modern Warfare. I loved that game-the single-player was awesome (AC130 missions FTW!), the modern setting was fantastic and holy crap was the multiplayer good! I was initially skeptical when World at War was announced-why go back to World War II when the modern setting hadn't yet been fully explored-but my doubts quickly disappeared when I finally got my hands on a copy.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: To call it Call of Duty 4 with a World War II skin is insulting to Treyarch because World at War is so much more than that. It's a great follow up to Modern Warfare and proves that World War II is still a viscerally charged conflict to live through. The single-player campaign is a tad short and it isn't as polished as Modern Warfare's but the action is intense, there are plenty of thrills and the multiplayer looks like it will be just as awesome. I'm especially looking forward to the Nazi Zombies mode.

Call of Duty World at War PS3 Review!


Single Player: If you didn't notice, this is another WW2 shooter, some are upset by this move that treyarch made, but i'm not because this game is great! Though it has 15 missions, ( 7 missions based on the push to berlin with the russians, and 8 missions based on the american/japanese war.) it won't take to long to beat the game it took me a little more than five and a half hours to beat. The hardest thing in this game i have to say is the grenade danger indicator, it doesn't pop up right away. There are these kind of death cards in this game which are kind of cheats that you can use in online co-op private matches ONLY! Single player wrapped up
9/10
Co-op: Same thing as single player except you can play online with 3 other people and 2 player split screen. After you beat the main game you unlock a mini game called Nazi Zombies! This mini game is very addicting, you ,by yourself,with a buddy, or 3 people online is really fun. What you do is kill nazi zombies and try to keep them outside so you are safe. They get harder every level by getting faster and stronger so once you get to level 10 it will be a challenge just to keep up the window boards. 10/10
Multiplayer: is just like call of duty modern warfare's which is great because call of duty 4's multiplayer is awsome. it is expanded upon with more game modes to play. You get ranks on this game, you rank up to get more wepons and devises, you level up by getting XP, you get XP by kiiling dogs, people, catching flags catching the HQ winning or losing matches.
9/10
overall: 9.5/10
Veridict: If you love fps that take place in world war 2 then this game is a great choice for you, if you love fps you should pick this one up.
