  • Summary: Utilizing the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers, players employ new features like cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date. Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-operative play, bringing fresh meaning to the "No One Fights Alone" mantra with up to four-players online for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, or two-player local split-screen on consoles. Nintendo Wii will also support a unique co-op mode for two players. For the first time ever players can experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. Whether playing competitively or cooperatively – if players are online with Call of Duty: World at War – they always gain experience points. Based on a player’s experience rank and rank of the player's friends, Call of Duty: World at War scales dynamically to provide a deeper level of challenge. [Activision]… Expand

    Overall, Call of Duty: World at War is a great DS shooter.

    Though the maps feel a little small and spawn points are poorly placed, it's executed well enough that you'll wonder why more DS shooters aren't this competent. Ultimately, however, the setting and controls still hold back this war without end from being anything but a quick tour of duty.

    It attempts to emulate the spirit of its bigger cousin, but it falls short.

    This game is easily one of the best first person shooters on the DS. This game uses the same engine as the first CoD and they really to the engine to new heights and it can be seen in the graphics. The details on the DS in amazing. The gameplay is great. The single-player campaign brings you all the hectic war moments you've come to expect from a CoD game. The multiplayer has tons of options and maps to play and it all plays very well. It even has online stat tracking. This is a game people will be playing for a long time. This is the multiplayer first person shooter people have been waiting for since Metroid Prime Hunters.… Expand

    This is a super fun game. Way more improved over Call of Duty 4 for DS, here are the positives. + The A.I. is smart, when you want credit to kill a guy, they kill it, and they don't shoot at walls! + Good variety of weapons, and good gun sounds. + A very long campaign that'll keep you busy for atleast a week, with 3 campaigns, the challenges also add some replay value, and mini-games are fun. + Good graphics, good battle chatter, and one more thing the touch screen is much more manageable than Call of Duty 4. Now the very few negatives... - You don't get the flamethrower enough. - You can't cook the grenades. Overall, this is the best shooting game for the ds and probably best game for the ds, if you own Call of Duty 4 for the ds or just own a ds, this is a must BUY!!!… Expand

    Call of Duty: World at War is a great game. Amazing Campaign and great multiplayer make this game great. The variety of weapons and the long campaign along with the minigames make it a great single player game but the ablity to play with others makes this game great.… Expand
