The Bottom Line:

"Amazing"

Since COD is so big on the Xbox 360 and PS3 they wanted to make a Wii version too. Xbox 360 and PS3 are a powerhouse when it comes to graphics, but when it comes to the Wii, it falls short. However this almost manages to level Xbox 360 graphics. This game takes place during world war 2, and you can take control 4 armies. Blue Marines, Imperial Army,
Red Army and Wehrmacht. In other words, America, Japan, Russia and Germany. There are 2 campaigns and you start off with the Blue Marines campaign. The story: You have been captured by Japanese forces and you are about to be killed until soldiers bust in and kill all the Japanese soldiers. They give you a pistol and then you are off to battle. I'm not going to say any more about the story since I don't want to spoil anything. The controls....well read my Quantum Of Solace review to get the idea. This is what I call a very realistic game. The sound effects sound so good that it's almost like YOU are in the war. The gameplay is fun and Immersive, you will just keep coming back to it over and over again. The online play is sublime but they have removed some of the modes that where in the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions. I think this is a problem since it would of made online a true gem. Call Of Duty World At War is a fantastic addition to the COD series. With brilliant visuals, terrific gameplay, superb controls, golden sound effects, great online play, a choc full of control methods and loads of unlockables. If you see this in Gamestation for $25 or less then it's an essential purchase.
