    Es cierto que este juego no es tan completo como los Modern Warfare pero tiene a su favor que el modo Campaña está mucho mejor trabajado, jugar a este juego en difícil te sumerge a la sensación de pesadilla que supuso estar en la II Guerra Mundial.

    This game is still surprisingly good. The campaign was quite interesting and kept my attention the whole way through. the guns feel really satisfying to use. The multiplayer is really fun because you feel like you are in the maps and not controlling a person which is really hard for old games to do given the graphics. the zombies isnt very polished but still fun to spend a lot of time inThis game is still surprisingly good.

    A great and really cool CoD game, but not necessarily one of my favorite, by the way, almost everything about this game is very cool. Beautiful graphics, really playable, amazing campaign and very dope Nazi Zombie mode too!

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most.

    Treyarch did a good job with the Call of Duty franchise. The addition of zombie’s mode is a lot of fun for a little while but gets boring quick. Graphics aren’t as good as Modern Warfare but not much to complain about. Campaign was good from what I remember. Spent a good amount of time with this game but not as much as the Infinity Ward versions. I think I just prefer the modern setting.    … Expand

    The game play is good and so is the music that syncs well as you play along. But the game itself is nothing new.

    The best world war game so far, showing different prespectives on each side soviet and american but not japanese and German which lacks the process if being perfect but still great

    Playing this game was a phenomenal experience. Both in terms of graphics, which is really breathtaking for 2008, but also in terms of how the game itself is processed. The breathtaking story, especially the Soviet campaign, is epic. But I must also say that the American campaign in the Pacific is also excellent.

    As in any game, Call of Duty has a wide variety of weapons to choose from.    Playing this game was a phenomenal experience.

    As in any game, Call of Duty has a wide variety of weapons to choose from. Excellent dubbing, excellent soudtrack.
    I fell in love with the short films that were always shown before the start of the mission.

    I was a little sorry that the single player was not longer. It could accommodate more events that happened during World War II.

    In conclusion, I have to take my hat off in front of Activision and Treyarch. I do not regret a single minute of playing this masterpiece. So I have to rate this game 10/10.    … Expand

    world at war is one of the best Call of Duty games. The storyline, gameplay, and environment are what immerses you in the game. The story makes you campaign as the USA and as the Soviets. The repeated banzai charges and suicidal jap soldiers always keep you on your toes while the Soviet's campaign shows you the horrors of war depicted by both sides.

    This was both an iconic and game changing call of duty. With the introduction of Nazi Zombies, this game set off what can only be described as a cultural gaming phenomenon, that would grow into so much more. The story mode was solid, and the multiplayer was fun. I absolutely adore this game, which gave me an appreciation for Call of Duty I never had before.

    Even the last two parts of the game make this game great. "The Heart of the Reich" and "Downfall" was best missions i ever played on CoD series. You can feel the atmosphere great.

Most notable are a couple of bugs that will cause most players to repeat a tough segment in one of the toughest missions, so enjoy that. But perhaps most egregious issue is the mission structure, which rarely deviates from shooting galleries with awful friendlies. While other games even in this era, and even from this developer, used squad effectively to signal where to go next, in this game your squad is strangely static. You're left to wonder where to go, and often to wander around until you encounter the next objective. Needless to say, this results in a COD campaign that has an unusually high number of deaths and a frustrating pacing.… Expand

    While it may not have lived up to the standards of the previous installments such as Modern Warfare, World at War is still an underrated gem that captures a very realistic and great depiction of what is known as the largest human catastrophe in history. Multiplayer is still very enjoyable, albeit with some flaws, and Nazi Zombies is probably the best game mode overall.

    Call of Duty: World At War needs better character development and more "oh my God" moments. However, it's still a terrific first-person shooter. The combat is tight, the presentation shines and the multiplayer, particularly Nazi Zombie mode and co-op campaign, will keep you blasting enemy soldiers for weeks.

    Treyarch did a remarkable job of breathing new life into the WWII shooter. They followed the conventions outlined by Infinity Ward to a tee and, as a result, created a shooter that is every bit as good as last year's entry. Of course, there isn't a whole lot of innovation this time around, but the increased Multiplayer options, new settings, and great enemy A.I. should more than satisfy all but the most jaded Infinity Ward fanboys.

    Call of Duty: World at War is a solid entry to the franchise, offering some pretty intense gameplay and nice new online features. However, the return to WWII means that it feels like a game you’ve played before.
