Call of Duty World at War is a insanely awesome DS FPS game.

Story -

You will play in the feet of three soldiers each from the American , British , and Russian Campaign. As the Americans , you will fight against the strong Japanese army. As the British and Russians , you will fight against the Fascist German Military. You pretty much know the whole WWII story about each campaign.

Gameplay -

The game has a extremely nice feel to it , and is very intense .. but you will hit moments where it just feels like shooting gallery , but other than that the game is very intense and satisfying.

Presentation -

Having a organic and outdoor enviroment for any shooter just makes it feel a whole lot better , and this game exceeds at this certain thing.
Im sure it wasn't easy to fit such a large , organic enviroment into a such a small chip. This game is extremely pretty , but not perfect , but still very good.

Controls -

The Controls are absoluty smooth on this FPS DS game. Every action you have to prefrom is on the touch-pad. Trust me , this game excells at controlls.

Multiplayer -

Call of Duty 4 for the DS didn't have online play , but thats not the case here this game has some fun online multiplayer. Allowing to play with up to 3 other people locally or around the world! There are Many gametypes such as : Deathmatch , Team Deathmatch , Capture the Flag , and a couple of other gametypes. There are over 10 maps to choose from . This game has absolutly Solid multiplayer.

Story - 8

Just to tell you before I start going on about how great this game is, I'm not p. gasper, I'm her son. I got this game the day it came out, and I am about 3/4 of the way through it. I've experienced enough to tell you that this game is probely the best game you will ever buy. The realism has improved from COD4, such as seeing your hands when reloading, and the soldiers' faces are not flat(Except for the Soviets)You do have to get used to the less modern weapons, like the Tommy instead of a M16. The tank and bomber levels do take a little time master. There is an exclusive British campain on the game that adds to the reasons to buy it. Even though it is not as thrilling as the 360 version,it is still part of the greatest war game franchise. Don't believe me, try it.

One last thing,the revolver and the Soviet SMG and pistol are the most powerful weapons in the game. I haven't used all of the weapons in the game, but these three are probly the most reliable.

THIS WAS TESTED ON A NINTENDO DSI.

I played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and enjoyed the game. However, World at War, utilizes more scene details, more voice-overs, extensive mini-games, online play, and a more realistic feel. This is a first person shooter, incorporating role play and mini-games giving you an enriching warfighting experience.

Using your touchscreen and keypad, you navigate through the virtual battlefield and accomplish various tasks. There are more 'props' in the field such as rocks, bushes, foliage, crates and other hindrances to shield yourself but also make a more challenging way to fight the enemy. This game is so much harder than Modern Warfare since your enemies are on the same level, some are up on higher ground (hidden) or below you. I love the effects of gravel and dirt falling from the ceiling in the mines. This game just has so much more detail. You take controls as a Morse code operator, operation of a mortar, gunner on a truck, gunner on a ship, bombadier, operation of a tank, disarming mines, and a medic, for example, to add to the warfighting experience. There are a lot of weapons such as flamethrowers, handguns, machine guns, bazookas, and rifles. Reloading can be a pain, especially, if you just walked into a room of 4 to 5 assailants. Your heads up display gives you the appropriate direction of your objectives while giving a status of enemies in the vicinity.

Artificial intelligence of your team members are actually better than on Modern Warfare (where I felt like I was a one-person army). Artificial intelligence of your enemies, are also improved. There are awkward moments, though, when your comrad walks by an enemy and the enemy's goal is to attack you - instead of your comrad and the enemy shooting each other. You play as the Americans, British and Russians in different missions, replaying World War 2 against the Japanese and the Nazi's.

Graphics and sound are very good but if there are multiple enemies, the video tends to slow down. There were episodes when the enemy would fall after dying and half the body was separated by the wall/bunker. You have versatility of choosing individual missions, online play or playing a campaign. As you get shot by enemy gunfire, a red bar appears, and when you are near death, the screen flashes red. Luckily, if you can reach a safe area from gunfire, your health is restored. As your character walks through the field, it has a more realistic 'sway' as opposed to the navigation in Modern Warfare. The auto-save feature from one mission to the next, keeps the player in the heat of battle. Different milestones in the game are awarded with medals and there are secret items that add to the diversity of the game.

Overall, this game has made many advances over Modern Warfare and is well worth your time and consideration.
