Call of Duty: World at War is pretty much CoD4's expansion pack. But thats not a bad thing at all!
One of the greatest things about this game is it's campaign, which has remarkable new things in it such as tanks with flamethrowers, Japs springing out of the grass charging you with bayonets, and that classic knife kill from CoD4 has been somewhat improved. One of the many fun things about this is the flamethrower, spuing flames at Japs and Nazis is a fun and cool site to see, and doesn't ware down fast. The Bayonets are extremely fun stabbing people with it is new to this setting and is a definite improvement.
When you beat the well done campaign you unlock the "Nazi Zombies" game that you can play with friends, online or by yourself. In this you'll find yourself trying to survive on a pistol at first, but as you gain "points" you can buy different rifles on the walls, and with these you can rebuild you barriers to keep the zombies out.
The Multiplayer is almost exactly like CoD4's with the unlockable guns for your costomizable soldiers, except they added a few thing to the attributes and the upgrades. The guns are all pretty much the same gun you'll find in WW2 but their somewhat more interesting in this. The maps are new, interesting and fun and give you a veriety
So overall Call of Duty: World at War is a great game with its campaign and multiplayer that rival CoD4's. Its a outstanding game that should be in everyone's collection.
