Call of Duty 5: World at War is a Shooting game available on the 360.

Call of Duty 5: World at War is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Family Gamer review Tue, 04 Nov 2008

Infinity Ward take a break, and its time for Treyarch to take their turn at the wheel of the CoD juggernaut. Responsible for the not-well received Call of Duty 3, here's hoping that they can match the visceral enjoyment that was CoD4 in the potentially over-done arena of the Second World War.

If you've played CoD4 online then you will feel pretty much at home with this version too - in fact multiplayer wise at least, the game feels very, very familiar. OK, so the weapons are clearly different and some other changes have been made as well, which I will get onto later, but the perks and weapons mods have just been 're-skinned' to fit a WW2 environment (with some rather out-of-place mods like suppressors on machine guns that will have authenticity buffs squirming). Whether this 'sameness' will be a good or bad thing remains to be seen: after all 'if it aint broke' and all that; but it's possible that there won't be enough difference between the two games to maintain a significant online player-base which is what has kept CoD4 so vibrant for so long.
