Despite many people saying this game pales in comparison to Call of Duty 4, it actually does quite well for itself. I'm not the biggest fan of World War II games but I have to say I enjoyed the way the story was delivered.

If you are dedicated shooter player, or a fan of the Call of Duty series, then World at War should be in your collection. If you are new to to the realm of FPSs, then I recommend you look elsewhere and too one of the other consoles for your wants.

Call of Duty, the shooter series whose title has become a household name for games, seems to either make or break when they release a new installment; World at War is not just another run-of-the-mill whoop the Axis and win the war with fanfare and cheers shooter.

For games used to the button-pressing of other shooters, transferring to the Wii is a tall order; The largest hassle is the throwing of grenades, when you are required to twist your remote counter-clockwise to switch (for a millisecond) to a smoke grenade.

When Infinity Ward released Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare back in 2007, the developer was met with critical acclaim and praise for breaking away from the World War II setting that had started to bog down the once revolutionary series.

Great campaign with a variety of missions; excellent replay value; tons of multiplayer options; exceptional production values

A few random, irritating glitches; World War II setting won't appeal to everyone

Throughout the history of the Call of Duty games, developer Infinity Ward has created each major version of the game and then handed things off to Treyarch to handle the expansions and minor sequels.

Modern War was a difficult title to follow up. Therefore in that sense World at War is a little lacking to one of the best first person shooters, at least in my opinion. That is why I do not truly see this as a follow up, especially since Modern War 2 is the true follow up to CoD 4.

Call of duty WAW on the DS is one of the best shooters on the portable console and should be a must-own for any DS owners. The guns in the game feel just right and the graphics are some of the best on the DS. Overall Call of Duty WAW is a five star shooter and great for on the road or at home.

Just plain fun; Intense action

Whilst Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was a run of the mill FPS, its modern setting was a breath of fresh air for the series, one that granted, developer Infinity Ward, liberating freedom compared to the constraints that come with basing your game off a real war.

Really good gameplay (characters link in with the Black Ops storyline) 2 player campaign(hardly any games with 2 player anymore) Extremely hard on Veteran diffculty - if you finish this game on veteran you are amazing, its the hardest call of duty campaign you'll ever play But if you prefer just a...

This isn't a bad game, but I'm really glad I played the excellent CoD4 Modern Warfare and the outstanding Modern Warfare 2 first, because this one is "OK" at best. I honestly don't think I would have bothered buying Modern Warfare 1+2 games (which turned out to my favorite shooters in years) based...

Great graphics and solid game mechanics; WWII makes for a compelling shooter setting; The creative direction is first-rate, the environments really looks and feel like the places they're supposed to represent

Throwaway narrative full of boderline-stupid Hollywood stereotype characters (this almost gets comical at times) and disjointed missions; First-person gameplay is extremely tedious on the harder settings

Good value to add to my sons collection even though this is quite old he asked for this one so he has them all now i cant play any of them lol but it keeps him entertained.
