Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk:Call of Duty returns, and to many people’s surprise, it’s going back to World War II. While original series creators Infinity Ward brought the series into the modern day, developer Treyarch are setting out to make the definitive historical first-person shooter.
 The Soviet attack on Berlin features intense street battles |
 Take on the Japanese navy as you board a U.S. flying boat |
 World at War features the most realistic fire effects ever |
 The new ability to swim adds to both the story and multiplayer modes |
The game is primarily set in the Pacific theatre and has a much more realistic, violent tone requiring less-linear game play than previous
Call of Duty installments. You'll struggle to survive Japanese attacks without mastering new gaming skills, like swimming or how to use a flamethrower--a weapon that packs some punch in the fully destructable game world.
Also featured is a campaign on the Eastern front, where you take control of a soldier in the Soviet Red Army during the attack on Berlin in the closing stages of the war. The game also includes the series’ first co-op mode, while the competitive multiplayer mode aims to build upon the achievements of
Call of Duty 4 and add to the game’s longevity.
Key Features - Dual campaigns: Fight in two very different World War II battles. Take on the Japanese Imperial army in the Pacific, and liberate Berlin as part of the Soviet Red Army.
- Grim realities: Experience the most bloody and realistic combat ever seen in the series, as you witness enemy atrocities and wield horrific new weapons such as the flamethrower.
- Job with benefits: Revamped competitive multiplayer mode features useable vehicles and an expanded perks system from Call of Duty 4.
- Brothers in arms: For the first time, a Call of Duty game features a four-player co-operative mode that’s playable online or via a split screen option on the same console.
- Modern graphics: The game uses an enhanced version of the Call of Duty 4 graphics engine, with wood that splinters realistically when shot and fires that spread organically.
About the Developer: Treyarch One of publisher Activision’s biggest internal studios, Treyarch have worked on many of the company’s best known titles, from the Spider-Man movie tie-ins and spin-offs to several of the
Call of Duty sequels and the new James Bond game,
Quantum of Solace.

i must say this must have been the most lacklustre game i ever played. i cant believe they handed the franchise back to treyarch after that massive disappointment of COD 3, and now they've done it again.
this is what happens when they rush things and try to cash in after the success of COD 4. ok the graphics are better compared to COD 3 but we've seen it all on COD 4, so nothing is new. but when it comes to gameplay that is when things gets worse. all it is is that players are placed ...

Back to the WWII days once again:
This time with many additions. C.O.D's 1, 2, and 3 have all been WWII, but never like this. With amazing graphics (not that CoD 3 lacked good graphics) and great new battle fields in Germany and on the Japanese shores, it's worth every penny.
It has the same fast paced action, immersion, excitement, and superior game-play that have amazed CoD 4 fans since its release. WWII had Tanks and Aircrafts, so they actually put them in, giving this ...

Gameplay is really fun and the graphics are good. Its basically COD4 but with worse guns and better maps. The multiplayer is amazing and cool extras like NAZI ZOMBIES keep you addicted to it!

This is one of the best games I have ever played
I played the single player most of the Friday it came out to unlock zombie mode which is one of the best area in the game. The single player is in my opinion amazing. The grafics are great and the guns are class. The flamethrower is a real winner. The last level when you storm berlin is great non stop action.
Online is much of the same as call of duty 4. The classes the same and xp is also the same. They have not added much except ...

After all the negative comments regarding a it being a step back after COD 4 and people saying no more WWII shooters , it was a pleasant and not unwelcome experience to pick up this game and be stunned by the playing experience online and solo.
I went through the game itself in three sittings and am still vividly in shock at some of the scenarios that unfolded. Don't misunderstand me, this is the war as it was, brutal,shocking,profane and mind numbing.
I'm not going to spoil it for anybody ...
