    Call Of Duty: World at War: ''World War II''

    What surprised me most about the game is the gameplay and the story itself with its interesting characters. So the game about World War II and the war going on between the Americans and Japan and the other Soviets against Germany, unfortunately we do not get the way other countries fought each other, such as the British against the Germans, in Egypt and another. The gameplay is full of action and intense things that happen in the game. I enjoyed the game’s soundtrack very good and well-matched between certain action locations.
    The characters were particularly interested in them were fun, but what I didn't really like was that the Soviets were with English voices, they could be with a Russian voice, you would feel more like playing for the Soviets. The level design of the game is very great. The game is interested in that it shows what war looks, with he's brutality and so on.

    So to me the game is great, just hoping for a little more things in the story and a war between the deserts. But the game is definitely worth it, because it’s full of action. So in my opinion, I would rate the game 9/10.    … Expand

    This game doesn't deserve so much criticism JUST because it goes back to the WWII theme. There have been hundreds of games about WWII and even the BIA HH is also WWII theme and nobody complains about it. I think it has fantastic graphics, unbelievable sound and atmosphere. I have voted a bit higher than I wo

    An extremely solid game with one of the best campaigns that I've seen in the series. Also this game brought us zombies to the series so there's that as well.

    Oynadığım en iyi 2. dünya savaşı temalı oyunlardan bir tanesi , gerçekten hikayesi iyi yazılmış ve önceki oyunlarda bulunmayan mekanikler barındırıyor oyunun final sahneside oldukça etkileyicidi call of duty world at war zamanına göre çok iyi bir oyun kesinlikle oynanması gerekli

    This is one of the best Call of Duty experiences out there, from the perfect campaign, the multiplayer (while it was still supported, f- activision for that one), and the still thriving zombies community, this game has everything a Call of Duty should be and more.

    World War ii is a great topic for a game. Call Of Duty proved itself with this game. Coop and Nazi Zombies mode makes it playable even at 2022

    it wasn't a game that marked me, but I like it because it was a COD that put the first mechanics of violence and mutilations Until then we had never seen this in a cod

    This game's atmosphere really sells this piece. Surely one of the most real and darkest video games ever made. But those grenade spams on higher difficulties. You just love to —not— see it[-0.5].

    The others say its multiplayer is decent, but sadly, it appears I have problems starting the multiplayer to begin with[-0.5].

    Итак, World at War. Один из лучших шутеров в год выхода, частичный конкурент Left 4 Dead в зомби-режиме, в который я, увы, не заходил, как и в мультиплеер. Но по многократно пройденной одиночной компании все-таки выскажусь. Мне очень понравилась эта игра. И в первую очередь это обусловлено тем, что в ней я смог поиграть за солдат союзников во Второй мировой, причем, не просто поиграть. ЯИтак, World at War. Один из лучших шутеров в год выхода, частичный конкурент Left 4 Dead в зомби-режиме, в который я, увы, не заходил, как и в мультиплеер. Но по многократно пройденной одиночной компании все-таки выскажусь. Мне очень понравилась эта игра. И в первую очередь это обусловлено тем, что в ней я смог поиграть за солдат союзников во Второй мировой, причем, не просто поиграть. Я погрузился настолько, насколько это возможно, в обстановку боев на Окинаве и в других местах Японии, буквально увидел глазами советского солдата бои в Сталинграде, хотя и недолго и большей частью последствия проигранных мест в городе, затем посмотрел на штурм Зееловских высот и танковый бой, управляя танком, поуправлял пулеметчиком истребителя, который расстрелял вражеский танкер с нефтью и разобрался со вражескими самолетами и катерами, попутно вытащив несколько товарищей из воды, и, закончив в Японии, наконец, поучаствовал в штурме Берлина с установкой советского знамени над Рейхстагом, водруженного моими руками. Достаточное описание, чтобы захотеть пройти игру, как мне кажется. Что касается технической части, то меня здесь, с одной стороны, поразила ограниченная, но реалистичность окружения - банально, игрок всплывает на поверхность, если погрузится в воду, и вода поднимается столбом от взрыва, если бросить в нее гранату, - и с другой стороны я возненавидел местный искусственный интеллект. Здесь не просто союзники не помогают, и все надо делать самому, но союзники вообще ничего не делают, а противники забрасывают гранатами со всех сторон на высшей сложности, я реально потратил десятки попыток и много терпения, чтобы через всю игру с этим пройти. К этому нужно прибавить многократно повторяемые одинаковые выкрики и союзников, и противников, и все это усиливается неблещущей русской озвучкой. Это было правда больно. Оружие, взрывы, реакция врагов на действия игрока, расчленение и особенно "работа штыком" и "спасение от штыка" повалившего нас противника, как и, естественно, огнемет - запомнились очень хорошо. Виктор Резнов оказался настоящим патриотом России, и мы еще убедимся в этом в будущем.… Expand

    CoD 5: World at War's campaign feels repetitive at times, and multiplayer can be frustrating. Still, it's a solid entry in the series.

    Treyarch came back this year with an excellent addition to the franchise. Many gamers may look at this game with an "I've been there, done that" attitude. I am here to tell you that this is the best WWII effort so far, as well as the best game in the franchise.

    Overall the game feels a bit short but is not only a very tasty bit of eye candy, and a treat for the ears as well, but a briskly paced action-adventure that should please fans of WWII first-person shooters.
