Review: Call of Duty: World at War

+'s

-same engine as COD4 (graphics and sound are very well done)
-first COD game with campaign co-op
-multiplayer is based on COD4 with some interesting tweaks (new perks, vehicles, etc.)
-fantastic voice acting (Keifer Sutherland is good, but the Russian Sargeant is outstanding)
-possibly the best WWII FPS (certainly the best I've ever played)
-Nazi Zombie mode is a blast

-'s

-yet another WW2 shooter
-COD4 already did nearly everything better
-horrible game for achievement points (Veteran seemed even harder than previous COD's)
-Why not just play the best FPS ever made instead (since most of us bought it a year ago)?

Neutrals
-WWII era weapons (they actually worked out fine both in campaign and multiplayer play)

Overall, COD:WAW manages to include most of what made COD4 great while adding a few new twists and additions. It is not as good as COD4, but it still should be played by every FPS fan.

Score: 9.0/10
