Call of Duty is back, redefining war like you’ve never experienced before. Building on the Call of Duty 4®: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War immerses players into the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever experienced. Players band together to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles that led to the demise of the Axis powers on the European and Pacific fronts. The title offers an uncensored experience with unique enemies and combat variety, including Kamikaze fighters, ambush attacks, Banzai charges and cunning cover tactics, as well as explosive on-screen action through the all new four-player cooperative campaign. The addictive competitive multiplayer has also been enhanced with new infantry and vehicle-based action, a higher level cap, more weapons, and a host of new Perks, maps and challenges.”

The good people at Activision laced TKE with a copy of the new game, here’s what I thought:

As typical of any of the games in the COD series this game starts off putting you right in the thick of it. The game is set right at the beginning of World War II and you start off as the captured POW Private Miller from the U.S.M.C. . You are then rescued by Marines from your platoon and it’s on. The bullets are flying, explosions are are destroying buildings and you get the feeling of being involved in a real fire fight just without the risk of taking a real a real bullet to your cranium. This game is action packed from beginning to end with a great story line that will definitely keep you interested and wanting to find out what’s next. Also typical of the COD series the weapons and vehicles are typical of what was used at the moment in time and if all else fails one word people……….. FLAMETHROWER!

Pros:

Great game play and storyline makes it easy for the player to become involved in the World War II conflict.
Fast and furious action keeps the player excited wanting more.
New advanced AI makes your enemy a really formidable adversary.
FLAMETHROWER!

Cons:

Not a lot of improvements since the last COD.
Since there is a lot of action it makes the game seem really short.

Bonus:

I’m going to just keep it real right now and say that anyone who is a fan of the COD series or just shooters in general this game is a must have. Similar to it’s predecessor this game is going to be right up there with the mentions of Game of the Year. Anyone who considers them self a serious gamer will have this in their collection. This game gets a 4.5 out of 5 bricks.
