Call of Duty World at War Reviewed
Call of Duty World at War the newest installment to the series. The
game is probably going to be compared to the previous ones, mainly the
release prior to this one Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. However, it is
kind of hard to compare those two games to each other since the newest
is based in World War II style of combat versus the modern day warfare
of Call of Duty 4 so it is hard to compare those games. Like most games
this one does have quite a few positives that make it a highly
acceptable game to purchase for playing enjoyment.
The main
positive is the graphics that were brilliant in Call of Duty 4 are
present in this new release, except they are ten times better. The main
difference that I noticed while playing the game was the characters
seem more authentic looking with more natural movements than before.
The other big thing that I noticed is that the grass and flags and such
will be flapping in the breeze and they will be moving in the proper
direction compared to some other games that the breeze is not taken
into account.
Another positive is that the game play is a lot
smoother than in other games. Unlike some where you are bouncing from
place to place you run smoothly into an American operation then to a
Russian operation. The hardest thing about this though that I found is
remembering that when you're in which outfit the weapon type. Now that
may or may not sound like it is hard, but when you go back and forth
constantly after completing each mission. The weaponry while mostly is
a rifle or machine gun you have to remember that the Russian arms and
the American arms all had different strengths and weaknesses.
Now
some of the drawbacks that I found for this game is the game can be
glitch at parts of it. I know I was in a couple of missions and the
game just totally froze and would not unfreeze causing me to have to
reboot. This happened a couple of times, but each time it was as I was
near the end of the mission that I was on. That is what ticked me off
the most about the freezing.
The other thing that I find as a
drawback like I said before was the missions switching back and forth.
I understand that the game was trying to make it compatible with time
frame, but if that was the point then it would have been smoother to
let people choose if they wanted to do the American or Russian campaign
first. That could have been on the game, but I just started playing
right away out of excitement before looking at the options available.
Overall
I would have to say Call of Duty World at War is one of the better
games for this series. Now like I said before if you liked Call of Duty
Modern Warfare because it was more modern then you might not care for
the return to World War II. However, I know that this game is a great
game to play and well worth the money for the challenge and fun play.
