How many locations does a game need to cover before it's allowed to use the word "world" in the title? Super Mario World has ten, Guitar Hero: World Tour has 17, and World of Warcraft has hundreds of diverse locations. Call of Duty: World at War has tw...

After the impressive Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Treyarch had a lot to live up to with Call of Duty: World at War.Treyarch are the company who made Call of Duty 3 and did it very well so there was no doubt that World at War was going to be good...

World at War is a game where you get a hell of a lot angrier at the bad moments than you express feelings of joy at the good moments. This is a shame, as at its heart it is certainly a competent shooter, at times even managing to feel like a very fresh...

It’s been a tough start to the summer. Our needs as consumers have emptied our wallets, part time jobs at Burger King reluctantly picked up, credit cards maxed. The quality titles are here, and unfortunately Call Of Duty: World At War is one more to ad...

Call of Duty: World at War is more than a rehash. It provides a refreshing change to the well known maps and weapons from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and makes some positive changes. The single-player campaign involves a riveting and emotional stor...
Based on the fabulous Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine. Spectacular multiplayer, and the option to search for games locally. Excellent change of scenery to WWII, very solid single-player. Co-op.
Single-player a little short, WWII setting wont appeal to all. Weighted very much towards online play (if this can be considered a bad thing).

Some would argue that games based on real-life wars – games that essentially make light entertainment from the suffering and horror of real people’s lives – are inherently wrong, and they could have a point. But it’s a point that we usually choose to i...
The gameplay, aesthetics and presentation are solid – impressive in places, even – but we’re not about to turn a blind eye to the shamelessly crass tone. If games are ever to mature as a medium then we need to see an end to this kind of...

If there’s one word that sums up World at War for us, it’s ‘brutal’. The latest Call of Duty, developed over the last two years by Treyarch – not series creator Infinity Ward – is a brutal slog through a WWII setting unlike any other. You may think you...

About a year ago, Infinity Ward burnt a DVD and sent it off to manufacturing. Little did they know that this said DVD would become one of the biggest and best games of 2007 and shoot their Call of Duty franchise into the stratosphere. Fast forward twel...

Okay, let’s start with a confession: we weren’t very excited about Call of Duty: World at War. We reckoned that after last year’s incredible Modern Warfare, the return to World War II was a big step backwards. We were also concerned abou...

Modern War was a difficult title to follow up. Therefore in that sense World at War is a little lacking to one of the best first person shooters, at least in my opinion. That is why I do not truly see this as a follow up, especially since Modern War 2...

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.

Same intense action you know and love; impressive visuals and lighting; cooperative adds a ton of replay value; multiplayer still excellent.
Storyline is weak; flamethrower is tough to use on tougher difficulties; enemy AI can be absent-minded.

It's easy to come into Call of Duty: World at War with some concerns before you even sit down to actually play it. Why are we back in World War 2? Why isn't Infinity Ward working on this one? If it's using the CoD4 engine, is it pretty much just a comp...
