My boyfriend has been eyeing this game at Gamestop for a while now. It's a heck of a lot cheaper on Amazon, so I couldn't pass it up as a surprise birthday gift. He's been so pleased with this game, he tells all his friends about how awesome it is.

What is old is suddenly new again and that certainly fits the bill with Call of Duty: WWII , taking example from the recent Battlefield 1 by going back to the series roots, this time with a World War 2 setting.

Compelling singleplayer campaign with a true cinematic presentation; Absolutely gorgeous visuals and superbly acted voice-cast; Robust multiplayer that rewards players on a constant basis; The most tense and possibly most fulfilling Zombies campaign in years

Headquarters can feel a little over cluttered at times

This year's COD goes back to the Second World War for the first time in nearly a decade, with a return to boots on the ground action.

Fantastic graphics and presentation; Headquarters is an impressive social hub and the less traditional elements of the campaign work well; War mode is great fun

The campaign is too clichéd in terms of both characters and overfamiliar set pieces; Multiplayer gameplay has no real new ideas and gets old quickly; Too few maps for War

Most of it's pretty good, a step in the right direction. But the hit dedection is awful and the servers are more dodgey than an insurance salesman's handshake.

With just over one month left before we get a brand new game in the Call of Duty franchise in Black Ops 4 , the fourth and final DLC has just touched down on solid ground. Hot on the heels of some big additions to Call of Duty:WWII , like the new Commando division, Shadow War looks to add a bit more...

Frozen Dawn zombies experience is fantastic; Solid DLC content overall

Chancellery multiplayer map suffers an identity crisis; Baffling super soldier serum in Operation Arcane

With a campaign that brings some of the most historical battles of the European Theater to life like never before, multiplayer that combines the best of the old and the new, and one of the most visceral Zombies games the series has had, Call of Duty WWII is a triumphant return to its roots,...

World War II setting is a natural fit for the franchise; Health pack system in the campaign encourages more deliberate gameplay style; Multiplayer is the best it's been in years; Objective-based assault/defend multiplayer mode War is a standout for the series

Lead protagonist in campaign is a bit of a cliche; Would be nice to see more of the campaign's game mechanics show up in multiplayer

It's that time of the year where videogame companies release their "best-selling" games for the Holiday period in a bid to claim sales glory over the year. And it just wouldn't be the same without Call of Duty's annual entry.

It's been a big year for nostalgia. Crash Bandicoot played on the fond memories of gamers and had a banner year, selling better than anyone could have expected. Even Super Mario Odyssey harkens back to a simpler time in gaming and encapsulates that simple fun many remember from their childhood.

Best Campaign In A Long Time; HQ Social Space is The Real Deal; Best Feeling Shooter On The Market; So Much Bang For Back

In-engine Lip-syncing Is Bad; Servers And Lag Are Still Causing Grief

Toby Berger is conscripted for CoD: WWII, the series' long-awaited return to its roots, from Advanced Warfare's Sledgehammer Games.

Some good moments in the single-player campaign; Multiplayer remains excellent; War is a welcome addition, as is divisions; Sound design is fantastic; Nazi Zombies is brilliant

Besides those few good moments, the single-player campaign is subpar; Map design encourages camping; Post-match issues derail a usually smooth and snappy multiplayer experience

I purchased this game to have a good time playing, and that is exactly what I got. The controls handle perfectly and the graphics are amazing. The campaign has a compelling story that makes you want to play it more, and the multiplayer is great.
