November 21, 2008 - Good - World at War may not represent the best of Call of Duty, but it's far from the worst. The single-player's a solid step forward from Call of Duty 3, and the cooperative multiplayer should give the game some legs...but I just wish competitive multiplayer had grabbed me the way Modern Warfare's did.

November 13, 2008 - Good - It's easy to be impressed by World at War. It's a game designed for maximum initial impact and, while it wobbles along the way, it delivers precisely the sort of carefully stage-managed carnage that fans will expect.

November 13, 2008 - Good - World at War can't fill Modern Warfare's combat boots despite an earnest attempt by the developers to replicate the experience in a World War II setting. At the same time, the game still offers some genuine fun with an impressive amount of bang for your hard-earned buck.

November 24, 2008 - Good - While it's a shame that the campaign isn't as good as its predecessor's, World at War sticks to what made Modern Warfare great: a solid multiplayer experience that can last you months.

November 11, 2008 - Good - In the end, Call of Duty: World At War needs better character development and more "oh my God" moments. However, it's still a terrific first-person shooter.

November 12, 2008 - Good - By staying largely true to the formula that made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare so successful, Call of Duty: World at War has ensured a proven level of technical quality, particularly in the multiplayer arena.

November 11, 2008 - Good - Call of Duty: World at War is a great game that feels all too familiar, yet it's undoubtedly the best shooter based on the conflict.

November 10, 2008 - Good - Call of Duty: World at War is a perfectly competent game with exciting multiplayer options and a campaign that's worth playing. But in most of the ways that actually count, last year's game was better.
