Call of Duty: World at War takes you back to WWII, across German and Pacific lines. Story mode is harder and more satisfying than Modern Warfare, especially with a split screen partner, and online battles are as great as ever, but this game lacks originality. Overall, there is nothing new about World at War, you're simply killing Nazis and Japanese, the same as the first three Call of Duty's. Story mode forces you to really fear for your life. If all you do is charge oncoming soldiers and try to blast them apart however, then the first few levels you will like. Later levels, though, force you to jump from hiding place to hiding place and steadily creep up on your enemies. This is much more satisfying and realistic than going berzerk and chargin every enemy you see. Early on, your sergeant dies extremely cheaply, leaving you saying to yourself, "What the heck was that!?" Graphics are slightly better, with lots of blood and missing limbs.
Simply put, if you have Modern Warfare, then you're not missing anything. By far, Modern Warfare's online battles are much more satisfying and original than World at War.
