yes, this is a WWII shooter and it was announced at that. To the goobers who gave it a bad review because of this, you need to stop playing games. These are the goobers of the video game world. The game has amazing graphics and the enemies are actually smart unlike in Call of Duty 4. The multiplayer is really addictive though I personally am still getting used to where everything is in the maps which are real cool, except for roundhouse, I hate that map. This game gives you WWII weapons which yes you can argue that they are not cool weapons like in Call of Duty 4. These weapons are some of the most powerful guns in the world to date still. It actually takes skill to shoot these guns too. So if you want to go in guns blazing like half the noobs in Call of Duty 4, this game is not for you and you will most likely get owned. The environments are amazing looking and the flamethrower is just plain fun as all. The different game modes are really a good concept on Treyarch's part. After you beat the game you unlock Nazi Zombies which to me is really fun and will tie me over till Left 4 Dead comes out next week. The driveable vehicles in multiplayer is a welcome return in my eyes. The dogs are really cool if you are the sending out, not the receiving end. To those that don't think a dog could kill taht easy, I train dogs (German Shepherds) for a living for police departments part time. You can "play" with my dogs if you want and then tell me they wouldnt destroy you in a takedown. Keifer Sutherland's voiceover adds some character to the game too. I felt like I was in 24 or something. The only disappointment that I can think of is the co op. Don't get me wrong, it's about time tehy added co op campaign. But someone who lives in my house has an Xbox Live account. We can play local co op together. The problem I have is this. Like in Halo, love it or hate it, it has one of the best models for multiplayer and co op to date yet nobody follows it, you can play with someone in your house in split screen, then invite a friend in over Xbox Live for multiplayer ownage. This is a huge thing for me that has yet to be brought to the Call of Duty franchise. Replay movies of the game in a theatre like multiplayer mode would be fun too. All in all this game is a very good multiplayer and campaign modes. If the game is too easy as some have claimed because they are FPS gods apparently, change the setting to veteran. You won't finish it in the 5 hours as some have claimed. I enjoy the Japanese setting as it really hasn't been done well before. Except now.
