It's not novel, but great nonetheless.

User Rating: 9 | Call of Duty: World at War PC
Call of Duty: World at War is in many ways a victim of the series' previous successes. Most of the features of the game are essentially similar to those of CoD 4, but the setting is returned to the WWII base of the first three games. This robs the game of the novelty that CoD 4 brought, with new weapons and environments, and instead replaces them with the same kinds of things we had seen before. But even if this game doesn't break too much new ground, it is an extremely solid offering. The single player campaign is engaging (even if it does jump around rapidly between levels and campaigns in the war), and the multiplayer has exciting levels and a solid ranking system that lives up to the depth of it's predecessor. In short, if you loved the previous call of duty games, then you'll enjoy world at war, just don't expect it to be much different.
