Call of Duty is back, redefining war like you’ve never experienced before. Building on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War immerses players into the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever experienced. Players band together to survive the most harrowing and climactic battles that led to the demise of the Axis powers on the European and Pacific fronts.  The title offers an uncensored experience with unique enemies and combat variety, including Kamikaze fighters, ambush attacks, Banzai charges and cunning cover tactics, as well as explosive on-screen action through the all new four-player cooperative campaign.  The addictive competitive multiplayer has also been enhanced with new infantry and vehicle-based action, a higher level cap, more weapons, and a host of new Perks, maps and challenges.

Features:

New Enemies, Environments and Tactics:  Face off against ruthless and tactically advanced enemies that will stop at nothing to defend their homelands, from swamp ambushes and tree-top snipers to fearless Kamikaze attacks.  Play as a U.S. Marine and Russian conscript across a variety of Pacific and European locations against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic adrenaline-filled infantry, vehicle and airborne missions.

Co-Op Campaign Mode, Call of Duty Style: For the first time in the franchise, Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op play, bringing fresh meaning to “No One Fights Alone”. Campaign co-op features up to four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to experience harrowing campaign missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. Co-op mode incorporates innovative multiplayer components such as challenges, rankings and online stats for deeper re-playability and multiplayer experience bonuses. Co-op mode also features Competitive Co-Op that will show who is really the best player on your team.

Enhanced Multiplayer: Call of Duty: World at War continues the class-based multiplayer action the series is famous for. The addition of vehicle combat with tanks rounds out the multiplayer experience, and features such as persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, customizable classes and Perks, have been further enhanced.

The Call of Duty Experience: Call of Duty: World at War utilizes cutting-edge technology including highly-detailed character models, self-shadowing, environmental lighting and amazing special effects to deliver jaw-dropping visuals.  Depth of field, rim-lighting and texture-streaming technology bring the adrenaline-pumping combat to life, while physics-enabled battlefields and fire that spreads through environments realistically immerses players into the harrowing and dynamic combat.

Collector's Edition for collector's (2008-11-13)
I think this game is a great game when it comes to the thrill of the campaign and the multiplayer is addicting as always. I don't really see why Call of Duty went back to the WWII era again but i think if you liked Call of Duty 4 you'll like this one. As far as the collector's edition.. i wouldn't say it's worth it unless you're buying it since it's a collector item.. I knew what i was getting myself into when i bought it because I've been a fan of the CoD series and the tin artwork looked nice to collect. If you're buying it souly for the gameplay i would buy just the game itself and save the money. This game keeps me addicted and looking forward to the title and hopefully Call of Duty 5 or 6.. If you like 1st person shooters or a fan of the series I would reccomend the game.

World War 2 Again? (2008-11-13)
Debate and discussions aside, whatever the reasons may be that the Call of Duty franchise was so decided to go back into the World War 2-era is beyond me and I've stopped all reasons to even considering thinking why or how come as the decision has obviously been made and people all around the world are playing this game, for whatever reason they themselves may have.

I for one am not here to speak directly about the gameplay-- while multiplayer is fun and the campaigns are a thrill to play through, my review isn't based on the actual game itself. Instead, I'm reviewing the contents and the context in which 'collectors' find themselves in when it comes to 'whatever edition' of any game that fits one's fancy.

If you're a collector, you pretty much know what you're getting yourself into. Some people collect these certain editions particular to the simple fact that they're for collecting. This is pretty much that exact reason. Honestly, now that I think about it, I do feel kind of ripped off. At least when Call of Duty 4 released its collector's edition it came with an art book-- this comes with nothing more than a couple of downloadable featurettes (which quite frankly you won't really be using all that much... unless you're a clan gamer then you'll find the clan tag deal to be something that might float your boat) and a flask you can't even use.

The tin that holds it all in though is HUGE! Probably only seconded by Assassin's Creed's collector edition tin. Most of the interior goes directly to packaging that houses the flask and that's about it. I bought this when it was still 79.99 (tax included as I bought it off a local game store), and seeing a drop in about 10 bucks makes me feel a little bit cheated but that's what I get for being the hasty, collector's edition nut of any release that follows.

In a way, I am kind of disappointed in my decision to go for this game's 'collector' edition but like I said, I pretty much knew what I was getting myself into. Almost every game I own, unless otherwise restrained, is some sort of 'edition' and this adds to just another item in that collective library of glam.

The truth about the World At War collector's edition! (2008-11-12)
My wife bought this for me as an early christmas present. I wholly enjoyed the previous CoD games, and was really looking forward to this one.

Unfortunately, the CE version is completely NOT worth your money.

Let's list the bonuses, and the problems with each:

The Canteen: This is, in fact, NOT a canteen. It's more like a flask. Oh... and it's welded shut. A hastily applied sticker over the packaging on the back tells us that it is "For display only, not for drinking"
Ok, that's not a huge issue, I mean, it's just a gimmick, right? The other bonuses are pretty good still!

The "Day 1 edge": First off, let me say that most of this will be second-hand information, because MY REDEMPTION CODE WAS BLANK.
From what I understand, there are a lot of people having issues with codes not working, codes not received, etc. In addition, the high-level gun is only available if you play the class it's for. It's NOT fully available... you cannot use it to create your own class.

For all of the problems people are having with their collector's editions, there have been little to no response from the makers. Their support forum has over 100 pages of posts from people having problems, and there is not a single post from an admin or developer, answering them.

If you want to buy the collector's edition, just keep in mind that you very well may not get your money's worth. BUYER BEWARE!

Good, but not great (2008-11-12)
It's not that bad, they just have some problems to fix. Other than the fact that you can't split screen on Xbox Live and that your progress in campaign doesn't save when you play it in offline co-op, its pretty fun. Also, when you get your code on the card you get in CE, make sure you go to the website to get the token first, not just enter the code off the card into xbox live market place (the website gives you a different code)
