User Reviews about Call of Duty: World at War

I was hesitant to buy this for my 10 year old, but he really enjoys it and the violence doesn't seem too bad. -- Call of Duty

I'm not going to get into all of the details of this game as there are a ton of resources out there outlining the campaign and online modes but if you want a cheap first-person shooter for the DS, this is a good choice. Overall the graphics look pretty good on the DSi XL that I play this game on and there are times where it is kinda hard to see your enemies but if you shoot enough rounds in that general direction, you eventually drop them. I think the campaign mode took me around 20 hours or so to beat and I had the difficulty turned way down so it would be easier. This game has some fun vs. modes and online play that you can use and I was very impressed with the sound of the weapons and the detailing of the backgrounds to all of the game play. There will always be games out there with better graphics than what you have but you don't have a lot of options when it comes to FPS on the DSi so I figured I would give this game a chance and I did not walk away disappointed. The only thing that I have noticed is that sometimes it seems like I have to empty and entire magazine of rounds in an enemy to drop him and at certain points of the game it feels like a mindless carnival shoot-em-up but it is still fun. Also, the controls can be a bit tricky. You use the L/R buttons to fire and your D-pad to walk forward, backward, left and right. To look around, you use the cursor on the touch screen which can leave the DSi a bit lop-sided in your hands, depending how you sit when you play. I usually prop my XL on a couch pillow to keep it up and balance the XL in my left hand to keep it steady. I know it sounds unusual to get instructions like this but when you are talking about a game that you will play for hours at a time, you need to be comfortable. The reason why I traded in my DS Lite for the XL was because the Lite didn't fit my hands and would leave my thumbs aching about 30 minutes of play time, regardless how I held the lite, the DS XL fits me much better (but the XL is a different review altogether that I have posted). Anyway, if you buy this game expecting nothing more than a fun shoot-em-up with average graphics, you will be satisfied. -- Not too bad for $20

i loved getting this game. it involved many fighting scenes that were very enjoyable. i beat the game in two days and wondered what to do. you can go back and play the battles over and over as many times as you like. you can go as american, britan, or soviet. the effects are better than more ds games but definately not the best. -- best game ever!

this is is a awsome game any call of duty or medal of honor lovers will love this in fact if dont like those games you will like this one at first i thought it woudn't be a good one dut the i rented and ilove it ithought it was even beter than modern ware fare. -- bye you will love it

I enjoyed this game very much. With three male children and a husband, in order to keep up with the things they like, I decided to play this game on the Nintendo DSi that my oldest son purchased for me as a gift. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased the same game for XBox 360 that my husband and I are going to play together. -- Great Game!
