Advantages: Great single player campaign, nice graphics, decent online experience Disadvantages: Historically innacurate at times, animation a bit clunky, addition of vehicles
...landing around you, but it is great fun nontheless.
The campaign is split into battles where you play as an American in the Pacific against the Japanese and where you play as a Russian against Germany on the Eastern Front. This works really well and provides great diversity throughout the game. Each set of missions have different characteristics, which as I say, keeps it fresh.
Graphically it's a stunning effort from Activision. The attention to detail is amazing sometimes.
Online play is hit and miss. Activision have borrowed a lot of 'Call of Duty 4's' aspects and implemented them into their game.

Advantages: Very Good Muliplayer And Very Good Graphics Disadvantages: Story Mode Is Not That Good
...Call Of Duty World At War
This Game is an excellent game if you like to play online. I didnt like the story mode to this game as it got very boring extremely quickly.
One new thing on this game is that you can play Natzi Zombies, which is a new game mode. Basically you have to kill all the zombies without dying and every time you reach the next level it gets a lot harder.
On CoD World At War you can play Co-op in the story mode which is where you play through different levels in the story mode with 3 other players.
The graphics on this game are very good if you play in high definition. The guns look good and all the maps have a really good layout.
On this game the multiplayer is excellent. You can play many different game modes but team deathmatch is probably the best. When you search for a game online you...
