Call of Duty: World at War Review

Review date: 10.12.2008
Our rating:

It's been hard for some people to write a Call of Duty: World at War review. After all, many gamers and games journalists had been comparing Treyarch’s previous effort, Call of Duty 3, with the astonishing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from Infinity Ward and loudly suggesting that Treyarch wouldn’t be able to cut it. Well, how wrong they all were. Treyarch pulled out all the stops in creating this powerful, compelling story with incredible graphics, great voice acting from Gary Oldman and Kiefer Sutherland and immense, speaker-bashing sound-effects. The action is frantic, the battles are tough, the scenery varied and the set-pieces amazing, and that’s before you’ve even got to the perk-filled multiplayer mode.

    An intriguing RPG, Baroque's interesting story and characters are let down by its dull and frustrating gameplay.
