Call of Duty: World at War Review

Published August 5, 2009
4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

Call of Duty: World at War is a fine addition to the Call of Duty franchise.  It is undoubtably the coup de grace of any WWII-themed first person shooters.  Treyarch, still riding on the back of the giant that is Infinity Ward, stole all the bits that made Call of Duty: Modern Warfare so great and improved upon or added to that seminal game.  However, it should be noted that COD: MW still feels "smoother" and more balanced than WaW, but only by a little bit. 
 
I'm a big FPS player.  It is my go-to genre of game, and the one that I feel I excel at the most and have the most knowledge in.  That being said, I play WaW more than any other shooter on the Xbox 360 at this point.  This is a great tide-me-over until Modern Warfare 2 comes out.  I'll be interested to see if that game can keep my attention to the point where I will never come back to WaW ever again.
