This game was basically my life back in 2008 over on the Xbox 360. So many hours spent gaming with friends killing zombies and each other
The campaign was brilliant, too. Planting that flag on top of the reichstag at the end of a veteran playthough was the crowning achievement of my life back then

Best Call of Duty hands down. Everything about this game is S tier. Single Player. Multiplayer and then the surprise that comes after beating the campaign.

The best Call Of Duty ever released.
Black Ops and WAW were my childhood games. Coming back and playing on the 360 servers in 2025 is just as fun as 16 years ago.

Story is captivating and really does a good job of selling you on the illusion as if you really were in the shoes of the characters both Dimitri Petrenko and Pvt. Miller. The audio and visual effects are a masterpiece and the Environmental Storytelling is a kiss from god as it truly immerses you into the game. Its accurate portrayal of how gritty and unsettling World War 2 was is just amazing. And its attention to historical detail without going overboard to the point where it feels unrealistic or inauthentic to the real life war it wants to portray is an added bonus. All World at War does is show you an authentic World War 2 and doesnt hold back no matter how difficult or uncomftorable it is even adding things like war crimes and swastika's to show you that this is history wether you like it or not it doesnt hold your hand or wash away the uncomftorable truth that is war

Still plays great all these later. The mod community is great. There are some issues when trying to play online multiplayer, but what can one expect. When you are able to get online or join a server it is a blast. Nazi Zombies is still infinitely playable and the campaign is a nostalgia bomb for the ages.

An OK game, only worth it if it is on sale. The single player is quite short and is more like a series of battles rather than a flowing story. There are two campaigns that the game alternates between: US marines in the Pacific and Soviets on the advance to Berlin. As with some of the previous Call of Duty games, a few of the levels owe a lot of their plot to memorable scenes from war films (the Soviet campaign starts with the fountain sniping scene taken from Enemy at the Gates, for example) The Soviet campaign felt more disjointed then the Pacific campaign, as the Soviet campaign jumps quite heavily through the timeline. The Zombie defence game adds some more game time, especially if played with others - although it can be played alone. I didn't bother with multiplayer, so I've no idea if it is any good. The single player can be completed in under 8 hours though.

Shit pricing and Security issues aside, honestly a REALLY fun game in terms of MP and it's Campaign (Oh and highrounding zombies wink.), would, recommend people to only pick this up for sale with the bo2 deluxe bundle (you get bo2 and this).
Please do, use Plutonium to play this, though.

Video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvCRT4vcwRM
"Call of Duty: World at War" is the fifth game in the series and in my opinion holds up fairly well today. I went through the pain and suffering of clearing the campaign on Veteran difficulty, which absolutely exposed the flaws of the game and was pure misery, but I will remain unbiased for this review as one could argue this is not the intentional way to play the game in the first place, and most players will not go through the troubles I did.
In the campaign you will switch between the American and Russian perspectives as they fight against Germany in World War II. When you are playing the American missions you are US Marine Raider Private C. Miller. When playing the Russian missions you are Soviet Red Army Private Dimitri Petrenko. You will also be entering combat against the Japanese.
Masochism of Veteran aside, Call of Duty 5 is an incredibly good campaign experience. It's probably the most historically accurate Call of Duty narrative to date, and even features real life World War II footage during loading screens. Captain Viktor Reznov was a great memorable character and I found myself really enjoying the Soviet missions in particular (Probably because they have the overpowered PPSh-41.) There is fifteen missions in total and I was surprised at the variety of content, from your typical frontal attack combat to a stealth focused sniper mission, to a tank control mission and even an on rails airplane mission where you visually see your character get up and switch between the various seats and gunner positions.
World at War introduced the iconic Zombies mode we all know, love, and still enjoy today. Unfortunately this mode is actually where I take away some points from my rating, while the maps are great themselves, and the engine of the game works just fine for campaign and multiplayer, the engine completely fails and falls apart for the Zombies mode, making this one of the worst Zombies modes to date, despite the nostalgia and ingenuity. Most people can probably shrug this off as a side mode, but Zombies is actually what draws me to Call of Duty in the first place, and I would not touch most of these games if this mode didn't exist, so it's incredibly important to me. World at War zombies is bugged regardless of platform or version number you play on, you will die during nuke activations and even several seconds after the activation, you will get one tapped and instantly go down, Hellhounds will down you in less than three hits, Quick Revive does literally nothing in solo, when a zombie hits you it draws you towards it like a magnet, if you accidentally recoil yourself with a Wunderwaffe DG-2 blast in Der Riese, then Juggernog will permanently have no effect and you will go down in one hit for the rest of the game, knifing is not viable, training is barely viable, Verrückt zombies sprint at full speed randomly for seemingly no reason, and the list goes on and on, this mode is jank and I don't want to give it the excuse of being a developer pet project when the DLCs are still sold for their original asking prices today on consoles.
World at War is buggy and doesn't function correctly all the time, but it does offer a fantastic campaign, genuinely good graphics even by today's standards, and a general high production quality with an attention to cinematic and historical detail. There is a ton of value with the game especially if you are achievement hunting on console.
7/10.

Only played the single player campaign (on veteran) and mostly had a good time (the grenade spamming was pretty awful). This holds up over 15 years later as a solid FPS experience, and one of the best WWII shooters out there.

This is the same as all of the other WWII CoDs except it's in the Pacific. Which makes it a worthwile addition just because of that.
