 Dont listen to all the COD4 fans 2009-01-05 |
| By K. L. Miller (Corning, NY) |
| Listen if you liked COD 1,2,3 and the Medal of Honor series this game is definitely for you. I almost didn't buy this game because some people reviewing this game said that it "sucked" because it didn't beat Call of Duty 4. Look, they are just old Rainbow Six nerds who are mad because they have to wait another six months until COD6. This is a great game...don't get me wrong, COD4 is was a sick game but this just as good but with the ww2 theme. Just because they don't have modern weapons doesnt mean this game automatically sucks. This game is not suppose to compete with COD4, they are two completely different games so how can you compare them? I bet you half of these reviewers didn't even play the game. I have played every COD, MOH, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games and this game beats them all. This is well worth your money...take this from an UNBIASED reviewer and not from some old nerd living in his moms basement whose mad because he has to use a mosin nagent instead of an m16. |
 The Truth 2009-01-05 |
| By J. Dunne (Chicago, IL USA) |
| I give this game a 5 star for fun, but only a 2 star for overall. Why? Magnificent question! If you are a gamer, and you play it alot, a ginormous circle scratch will form around the disc. Thus, ruining the whole game and disallowing you to play. According to my friends it is because of the faulty game case, but some believe it is just something wrong with the disc. I loved the game, zombie mode, split screen co-op, its all just great. But the huge circle scratch ruins it. |
 Great online 2009-01-05 |

I'll concentrate this on the online multiplayer portion since I got this for the multiplayer. The online is similar to COD4, while I don't enjoy the older weapons too much, each weapon section is highly customizable. I actually like the bolt action rifles, and then turning them to snipers! I was never a sniper person in the other games, so using the rifle's as is, is pretty awesome. I do feel grenades blow up quicker, and the flash bang actually gives out your spot if you're just trying to be sneaky but blinding. Definitely not a fan of the tanks though, some matches online got overpowered by one team controlling all the tanks with a horrible score gap. Still trying to get used to tanks here.
The artillery strikes are actually horrible. Air strikes happened quick, and in a small spread spot. The spread area for the artillery is not the problem, but how fast it happens. If one missile hits, it's as if the person has enough time to run away from the artillery all together. I find artillery to be about 20% of what air strikes were in the other game. Not guaranteed kills, but it still gives an edge when you see players running from the spot. I've only died from artillery strikes from either being horribly careless, or a horrible spawn. Compared to air strikes that happened so sudden, it was either I was in reach of the air strike or I had enough space not to die.
While I loved the chopper in the other game, I think I love the dogs even more. They go INSIDE houses and attack. People were many times safe from a chopper attack by staying indoors, and still able to do their thing, but the dogs in this game are a massive interruption, that's just lovely! Following the dog and seeing where they'll strike will force the person to either hit you or the dog, but chances are the dog hit first and they're already trying to push the dog off, which obviously, allows you to get a kill. The dogs can be killed, but hey, they feel like cheating to be honest, but this balances it out. The game is still new, so it's glitchy. I've seen dogs stay in one spot jiggling while still alive. Sometimes running in circles. I'm sure it'll be fixed.
More new perks, some seem very useful if used tactically, but if you're a lone wanderer, you can expect to be using the same old perks like hiding from radars, extra power, 3 frags, claymores (bouncing betty's), and my favorite perk 3 being extreme conditioning. Everything feels just as solid, though, extra power seems a bit necessary now. It could be me, but I feel as if the life cap was increased JUST a little, not sure, or maybe it's just the weapons, haven't figured it out yet.
Outside of the weapons being extremely customizable and the perks being really nifty, physics being the same, there are the downsides I've noticed in the online which can make anyone hate it. It isn't often in online matches, but sometimes when it decides to spawn you in horrible spots, it DOES spawn you in horrible spots. I've been spawned into artillery strikes and in front of tanks. Totally unexpected and not prepared, so obvious deaths. It wouldn't be such a pain if it didn't happen too often, but at least once per round, if you're going to die, you'll experience a horrible spawn. COD4, I've had horrible spawns, but I've never been spawned into an air strike, and rarely in the opposite gang. I was shocked when I was spawned where the enemies were sniping, and then died from a shotgun instantly by a guy behind me.
Another thing I've noticed hating a lot is crouching all the way and laying on the belly. Seems that you get near a wall, and the guy starts to freak out. COD4 DEFINITELY has the better belly crouching to be honest. I'll get around this though, and I'll hope it gets a tune up, isn't too bad,
Some stages are actually downright amazing in this game though, but some are just far too small... or far too small to be in a random for team matches. I've actually enjoyed every stage in this game so far, few gripes with a few, and wish some didn't have so many tanks. Some stages are far too small to be containing tanks. Can't complain, here to be honest, it's a great fps, it just needs to have spawn spots fixed. While not a fan of playing WWII shooters, this will be the exception. Also, COD2, man I just love that game. |
| A Fun Game Any Gamer Will Love 2009-01-04 |

The Call of Duty series succeeds yet again with the newest installation called "World at War". If you've played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare it is obvious that World at War is very similar to it. It uses the same game engine with a very similar play style. This repetition doesn't make the game bad, since like it's companion, World At War is a great and addicting game. The story is good for WW2 game, and the Multiplayer mode is top-notch and keeps players coming back for more with unlockable weapons, challenges, modes, etc. The graphics aren't the best but they do suite the gameplay well.
World at War is a must buy! |
| It's not COD4... but its worth a look. 2009-01-03 |

After playing many hours of Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare I was expecting something great to follow. Seeing as most of my time was focused on Multi-Player, that's where I will begin. The maps in World at War are much bigger than that of Modern Warfare. They allow for much more sniping and group espionage rather than the run and gun method used by most on the smaller maps in Modern Warfare. They continued some of the many multi-player game types and added a few more options along the way. I enjoyed the hardcore game play in the previous COD and was happy to see that they added a couple more hardcore options such as hardcore free for all. There are a couple of complaints about the new multi-player as well. First of all the maps are large, this is an advantage in some aspects but a couple of the maps are just too big to play with the smaller group sizes. Also if you are into the run and gun method it is much harder to find people before you get snipped by those opponents "Camping" in the corners. The last thing isn't really a complaint but something worth noting. Tanks have been added as a multi-player option which turns the user into a nearly indestructible enemy. The reason why I don't list this as a complaint is because it is a part of the game, and the slow speed of the tank and turning speed makes it easy to avoid if you wish.
As far and the storyline goes I have no complaints. Being a fairly regular player I still struggled through the Veteran difficulty, but that's how it should be. The implement of new enemy intelligence has added to the difficulty of the game. Snipers in trees as well as very well placed grenades (usually hitting you in the face) makes progress difficult at times.
The last implement that World at War has added was the Zombies Mini-game. This game is sweet. A nice little perk for completing the game. In this mini-game you have a chance to bring yourself back to a House of the Dead type game. In this mini-game you are attempting to ward off and ever increasing number of zombie attackers.
The weapons are nothing too amazing, but considering the WWII setting they are pretty close to the technology of that time.
Overall I found Call of Duty:World at War to be a good game. It's not an all new entry into the realm of 1st person shooters, but it is definitely worth take a look. |
