Summary: Very great game all round
Comment: I played this game again today, many months after its release and was blown away at how I'd forgotten about it. I played a little bit of the campaign, then a bit of multiplayer, then three of my friends joined me to 'battle an army of undead nazis' as the game puts it.
Let me start with the campaign. You play as both Private Miller, part of 'Carlsons Raiders' during the American conflicts against the Japanese. Most of this half of the campaign takes place on Peleliu Island, where the American Raiders fought for three months more than they believed they would. The other half of the campaign sees you playing as a Russain soldier named Dimitri as you push Germans out of Stalingrad and eventually further into Germany, ending at Berlin itself in the final days of the war. The campaign is extremely fun to play, graphically brilliant and a huge jump for creators Treyarch since Call of Duty 3. The American campaign places you in forests and even a castle but yet still adds a gritty tempo that is followed easily by the Russain campaign, which starts you off surrounded by hundreds of dead fellow soldiers, just to prove itself as one of the darkest WW2 games around. The whole campaign keeps a steady pace and changes scenery often enough to not become repetetive but not so often as to become confusing. There isn't much in the way of plot or storyline, but not much can be done for this as it is set in WW2.
Next I headed off to the Multiplayer, which, as many people remind us, copies CoD4: MW's ideas of classes of perks, but as it is still in the same series I don't see how that is copying, even if it was made by different companies. The multiplayer has many different maps, some a bit too similar to each other for my liking but still varied enough to fulfill its task of keeping you amused for hours. There are a few little snags, such as the return of the damned 'rapid fire' controllers, but the developers cannot be blamed for this. The idea of adding vehicles again was a bad move. CoD3 failed because of its vehicle based combat parts, and MP maps on WAW that include tanks follow the same chain.
So by this time I've completed the Campaign, and maybe even become bored with the multiplayer. What now? The bonus mode that left me dazed, confused, and completely content. The bonus mode I'm talking about is obviously Nazi Zombies. Four player co-op that leaves you stranded in a building with barricaded windows and a horde of Undead Nazis trying to break in and, obviously, try to eat your brains. You can stop them by repairing windows and building up points by killing zombies to buy guns from the Mystery Box. This small feature quickly became a huge hit amongst fans and casual gamerss alike and is possibly the only reason my copy of WAW isn't in a GAME Pre-owned Shelf somewhere right now. The additional maps available to buy as DLC add even more layers of brilliance; Verruckt, the zombie asylum, gives the darkest scenes and areas of the game so far, including a dentists chair smothered in blood. It also added new features such as perk machines to give you added bonuses and the Teddy bear, a small bear hidden in the random weapon Mystery Box that changes its position in the map. Once you begin playing any later maps you will start to hate this bear with all your heart. Following the successful new map, two more have been released, Shi No Numa the swamp and Der Riese the factory/research facility. These two maps introduced four playable characters, each one nationality of Allied/Axis forces from the game, and a storyline full of little hidden audio files and easter eggs. watch videos on Youtube to discover many of these parts. The new features that came with these maps would make this review even longer than it already is, so I will leave you to find out. On that note, I will summarise. A great campaign, amazing multiplayer and a Nazi Zombies feature to blow you away. 10/10

Summary: Dull
Comment: This game goes in the bin, really is just so boring. Graphics are good but gameplay is just luck on hardest setting you just have to run and hope. loved the other games but when you put this game on hard it just means that they AI throw grenades constantly, no skill just luck where they land. This is the worst game i have played.

Summary: Stunning
Comment: What can i say. This game is excellent in almost every single aspect. The first thing i love about this game is the absolutely breath taking graphics. This game exceeded my expectations by miles. Sure, world war two games have been done many times before. But this one by far shines out among them all. The explosions aswell, the detail and time gone into each explosion is incredible. Also alot of thought has gone into the movement of the characters, its like there real people. The detail on the faces of comrades is spectacular. Also, if you are not a fan of blood and gore like me, there is an option to switch it off which also disables bad language.
However. The extent of weapons on this game is limited. And it always seems that when you are in trouble your team mates are always there just on time. This would not always happen in real life. Also there is no way of using vehicles. Overall a great game and a a great price. Well worth the money.

Summary: Online is flawed, but still amazing.
Comment: Single player - Great.
Co-op Campaign - Great.
Nazi Zombies - Worth buying this game for ALONE, probably the best game mode in any First Person Shooter.
Multiplayer - Flawed, unbalanced guns make the online mode very frustrating.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this game, its a fun World War Two shooter that has an immense campaign with amazing voice acting from famous stars such as Gary Oldman as Sargent Reznov. The Nazi Zombies mode is incredibly addicting and is just so much fun. Buy this game!
