Call of Duty: World at War
When I think of an electronic game that really keeps you wanting more and more I just think of Call of Duty: World at War. When I got this game last year, I played it as much as I could. There were times I was frustrated, however I just kept trying and trying and trying until I made it through. Even when I would finish a difficult section, I would want more. This is the true definition of a game which encapsulates a challenge, however it is possible to reach the end of the game.
The game has amazing graphics which is a plus for any type of graphic war game. Along with the great graphics is the storyline. The setting is World War II and the storyline uses actual movie footage to show those playing the game the real feeling of being on the frontline. There are two different subplots within the game and the player gets to be both individuals in the game. You see the war from the American viewpoint as well as the Russian viewpoint.
To match the great plot as well as the amazing graphics there is an online component to the game. You can play against others online in team or individual matches. This raises the level of intensity of the game and makes it different each time because of the different players you meet each time you get online.
With Call of Duty: World at War it definitely has the FLOW.

The call of duty franchise is now estimated at 3 billion dollars. 11 million units have sold as of Nov 29. I am not a gamer buy my nephew coerced me into playing. We were both in the same room but I did not realize that we were playing other folks on line. We did not last long because I got us both killed. He got mad at me and I got mad at him for getting mad at me, so I never played another video game with him again. I have to admit, the little that I saw was amazing. I felt like I was really in the trenches, trying to protect myself. The graphics were incredible and I wouldn’t mind trying it again sometime, just not with him.

This surpasses Microsoft’s XBOX Halo has sold 8 million as of August 2009, another game he adores. I can’t play this one because it makes me dizzy, and gives me a headache.

Although I don’t personally play these games, my husband does and I often watch him. I admit that I get hooked watching the story line play out. The same is true for the other games in this series.

Just wasted away my entire weekend playing the newest Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2. It’s absurdly good. I’m generally not a fan of first person shooters…in fact, I think Wolfenstein was the last one I really got into, and that was in the mid 90′s.
The budget for this game was 50 million dollars, about the same as a medium sized action movie. Not a bad investment though when you consider it sold over 600 million dollars worth in its first week of release. So what does a $50 million video game look like?

I think it is the same as Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. Call of Duty 5 World at War has the same weapon variations as COD 4. I also agree with greg that the audio is lacking directional and distance quality. Overall, it is the same thing and why would you pay money to buy the same item twice (it is like buying 2 of the same game, there is no point to it).
