Amazon.com Product Description
Call of Duty: World at War from Activision for the Xbox 360 completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining World War II gameplay. In this edition, players are thrust into the final, tension-filled battles against a new, ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen in a WWII title.

Building on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, this installment promises to immerse players in gritty, chaotic combat. You'll have to band together to survive harrowing and climactic battles that defined WWII and led to the demise of the Axis powers.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Physics-Enabled Battlefields
Call of Duty: World at War utilizes cutting-edge technology, including highly-detailed character models, self-shadowing, environmental lighting and amazing special effects to deliver best-of-breed visuals.

Depth of field, rim-lighting and texture-streaming technology bring the adrenaline-pumping combat to life. And with physics-enabled battlefields and fire that spreads realistically through environments, you'll feel immersed in battles that are both life-like and dynamic.

Cooperative Campaign Mode
For the first time in franchise history, Call of Duty introduces cooperative campaign gameplay, bringing a breath of fresh air to "No One Fights Alone." This gameplay mode allows up to four players to meet and play online, or a two-player local split-screen co-op.

Now you can share the terrifying experience of campaign missions with your friends for greater camaraderie and improved tactical execution. Co-op mode also incorporates innovative multiplayer components, such as challenges, rankings and online stats, and even features a competitive co-op mode that will identify the best player on your team.

Improved Online Multiplayer Action
Call of Duty: World at War once again delivers sophisticated, class-based, online multiplayer action that has made the series famous. New additions include vehicle combat with tanks, and Call of Duty: World at War rounds out the multiplayer experience with improved features, such as persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, customized classes, enhanced perks, and more.

Best Game EVER!!!
This is probably the best COD game yet. The solo player game is awsome!!! alot more challanging than the previous COD games. also, once you beat the game you can play "Zombies" on co-op mode which your in a building and zombies are trying to get in and you and others go as long as you can until your taken over.

Multiplayer is about the same as COD4 except the graphics are WAY better on this one. you can call in dogs which are a pain in the a$$ to kill and much more. I definatly reccomend picking up this title.

Great Graphical Display of a Tired Genre
Overall I do enjoy playing this game and picking up a copy on sale at $35 was a steal. However, it lost its allure a little quicker than expected, perhaps because I feel like I am essentially replaying COD4 in a WW2 setting.

The most frustrating thing though is the small map sizes. I spent months playing Bad Company and kind of became accustomed to large maps and a destructible environment. It really disappoints when you try to flank an enemy only to find that you are at the limits of the map while you are taking heavy fire.

The story line plays out very well and this game is the best I have seen in bridging history with gameplay. The online play is enjoyable, but with small maps you had better be quick with your weapons.

CALL OF DUTY WORLD AT WAR
