Call of Duty: World at War

I have no shame in saying this is the best world war two Call of Duty. Unlike its predecessors and WWII, it portrays the worst war in history the exact way it should be portrayed: dark, gritty, messy, gory, and horrifying. Also unlike its predecessors and WWII, you get to fight in the European theater and the Pacific theater. On top of this, you get the voices of Kiefer Sutherland and the great Gary Oldman, not to mention one of the best characters in the COD franchise, Reznov! Sure the dialogue could have been written better and Reznov is the only character you get attached to, but this game's focus is portraying world war two in the most realistic way possible, and that's something that it definitely accomplishes.

A classic, no doubt.

Negatives:

• Not much

This game is one of the best I feel that Treyarch as put out. There are two campaigns, one with the Marines fighting the Japs in the Pacific and the Russian invasion of Germany. Some of the missions are well done, however, the campaign is short. It takes about 5-6 hours to complete.

The graphics are a plus, they include flying limbs, blood, and some good shadow effects. If you have played COD 4, then you already know how World at War looks like. There are some neat perks and vehicles in multiplayer as well.

The weapons are the same old WW2 weapons that you have seen in the first 3 Call of Duty's. However, there are always new weapons for you to mess around with including portable MG-42's and .30 cal's. My favorite is the flamethrower. The Fg-42 rifle adds a bit more variety as well. This will disappoint those COD 4 fans who love their customized modern weaponry.

Overall a good buy for any Call of Duty fan or newcomers to the series. I think this will be the last WW2 game in the franchise, so enjoy it.

This game set up the black ops franchise and is very good. The campaign has you play as the Soviet Union and Americans in Japan. It is a realistic game and very gritty. It is underrated and should be appreciated more.

This game came of just as well as I expected it to be. There were very little problems I had with it so I'll start off with those.

The main problem I had with this game was that the enemy A.I. is Incredibly dumb. Enemies will run right past you and not register who's in front of them. Another problem is that the story and music was not nearly as memorable as COD 4. The moments that made COD 4 so memorable, are not as great and underused.

Despite all of these problems, This game is endlessly addicting and WAY gorier than any other COD game. It still has its very great sequences, we just need to hand this title over to Infinity Ward because they handle it very well. Still, despite it being WW2, Treyarch has pulled it off as the best WW2 game ever.
