The war with Japan is especially stupendous with maniacal banzai charges that will have you running for your life and an astonishing attack accomplished as you ride on a machine gun mounted elephant. I am perplexed by the response of some reviewers to the fact that this is Second World War game and another stirring tribute to the soldiers who made such horrendous sacrifices to defeat the Axis and save freedom for all. While I admit I am a bit behind the curve on video games and play on a Play Station 2, this is still a stunning experience of war and an incredibly exhausting, frightening, and challenging World War II game. To sum up, if you want to play a really involved FPS any call of duty will do ya, however world at war is special and will keep thrilled for much longer than other games. Zombie mode offers a great break while offering merit. The improvements from its predecessors are many although some of the maps don't seem to have been thought through. The multiplayer offers players a long term service and the map packs are a welcome enhancement.

The content is much more mature than seen before and this adds to the other-all experience. The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is challenging yet rewarding. As for the single player campaign its 10/10, its lenghty and diverse, it captures you in a atmosphere never seen before in a ww2 shooter. If you stuck in having never played cod4 you would be amazed, having played cod4 it isn't so stunning. If your looking for an opinion on which game is better I honestly couldn't say. I played the game and tried not to compare it to cod4 but as it is so simular it's hard not to.

It seems a lot of people are just unhappy that they've gone back to ww2 and that initial annoyance has tarred their judgement. I've read so many articles rubbishing and treyarch and I can't help but wonder if they've even given this game a chance.
