GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, Jan 18, 2009

I was really excited about the COD4 engine being used for a Wii game. I only got to play COD4 once at a friends place, but it was really good, despite my inability to use a console controller to play first person shooters. I've never got a hang of the aiming thing, I much prefer a mouse. However, having said this, COD:WaW was released for the Wii which takes advantage of the IR of the Wiimote for aiming... I believe the correct gaming term is "woot".

World at War has turned out to be so much better that what I thought it would be, and I was expecting alot, so I am very pleased. I haven't finished i yet because I've spent the majority of my time (and holidays) playing online.

World at War on the Wii has a stripped down multiplayer mode (when compared with the PS3 & xBox360), it supports 4v4 team death match with varying settings OR a 8 player free-for-all on 7 or 8 maps. While that all sounds a little dissapointing, the Gamespot review got it spot on, what keeps things interesting is the upgrades and perks available. For me personally, I just like that you retain your xp across sessions and that you have an overall rank. I'm currently a Major which is level 41-43... once you hit level 65 you open up prestige mode, being only a major, I can't elaborate on that, but so far, I'm loving the game.

The campaign has also been a blast, but whenever I fire up the game, the multiplayer menu option is just too tempting

Though the wiimote aiming thing is innovative and most likely very sharp and accurate, and it's all very well set out (barring multiplayer of course ) I personally wouldnt think that it would be all that tempting to play. I mean, I'm a playstation(er?) gamer, and i guess i wouldnt happily change console. So i guess that makes me biased... but my point stands, the wii is more of a party console IMO, and the PS3 is for graphics and singleplayer gaming sessions. PS3 forever...! I liked the (correct gaming term is.. "woot") bit. epic. Nice "review"? i guess ill call it...
Etchy.
