4 Stars The best third-party FPS to hit the Wii yet
After being blown away by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and thankfull for finally getting a change of scenery, I wasn’t looking forward to Call of Duty: World at War at all. Really? World War II again after last year’s smashing game set in the modern day? Well, yeah, that’s what you get here, but luckily, World at War isn’t just a newer version of an old game with a semi-fresh coat of paint. Thankfully, World at War plays very much like Modern Warfare, from the grim and gritty tone to the excellent multiplayer modes, and considering that Modern Warfare never made it to the Wii, seing World at War here is all the sweeter. As far as FPS games on the Wii, World at War is by and far the best third-party FPS to hit the system yet, and features some pretty good controls with the Wii zapper (although there is still some room for improvement in this department). The cinematic feel of it’s more powerful console brethren is intact, and for a Wii game, World at War looks and sounds spectacular. Multiplayer modes don’t offer too much for the Wii though other than the standard deathmatch, as co-op and zombie modes disappointingly aren’t featured. Howwever, World at War’s online runs pretty smoothly, and as a whole, the game remains a blast to play. All in all, Call of Duty: World at War is the best third-party FPS to hit the system yet, and is definitely worth your time and attention.
5 Stars Another Wii-son to Love my Wii
This is definitely one of the Best FPS games I’ve eer played and part of it has to due with the motion controls of the Wii. I, unlike the top reviewer, own the Perfect Shot gun instead of the Wii Zapper which allows the same controls but with better control over movements. I know that sounds repetitive but it’s true. Because you hold the nunchuk with your left (or right if you are left handed) and your other hand holds the handgun. I originally bought this for Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles where it works great also.
But back to the review, I find the Wii version to be better, and I have played it on X-Box also for the same reason I still prefer the Wii versions of games like Madden 09, Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Need for Speed and the Wii console overall. It’s not all about the graphics for me. I actually prefer great gameplay and simpler controls. In my opinion using the Perfect shot and aiming at the screen actually makes it more realistic any way because nobody fights wars in real life with joystics and mashing buttons. You aim and shoot. Even sniping is more fun this way. There is even a feature where you can move the Wiimote forward and you will stab with your bayonet or gut butt the bad guys.
There is a reason that many bars are now putting Wii’s in and so are old folks homes and now even Marriot and Renaissance Hotels are adding them to their business suites. Wii is just more fun. So great game. I agree that the Russian Part is more fun because it is original at least to me. If you do get this on Wii I STRONGLY recommend investing in the Perfect Shot to add to the realistic feeling which is cheap and can actually be found right here on Amazon and Have Fun!!!
5 Stars brief review from a casual wii user
I am not a big gamer and this is the first FPS game I have for the wii so I can’t really compare it to other wii FPS games. Being a family man, most of my time is spent with mario kart or wii fit. That being said, I love playing this game! So far, I have actually preferred the campaign over the online multiplayer. This may be due to the fact that I am not that experienced and when I have played online, I have been easy prey for the other players. 
I use the wii zapper and think the controls are excellent, especially melee, which occurs by shaking the zapper. Graphics are plenty good IMO. I will reiterate what another reviewer wrote about it being inappropriate for children. A game about war should be violent and foul-mouthed. Therefore, realize it should not be played around young kids.
Perhaps the only improvement that could be made is if the campaign could be played online with other people. Otherwise, I am 100% satisfied.
5 Stars AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME GAME
This has to be the greatest game that I have ever seen for wii, or at least the best shooting game! This game deserves 1000 stars if it were possible. The game’s image are nearly real, it has a great story line, where you go through an assault with Sgt. Renvous, or something like that, and the game gives you a good time. The game has a long campaign, good though, and good multiplayer. The game includes a snipper mission, assaults, and the normal killing routine. There are very few glitches. I have seen one or two. The only glitch that was worth happening, is in one level, a sniper was running at a wall, went through the wall, and I am assuming he died. There are very few bad things, such as: in multiplayer, there is none, unless wifi. This game is not like halo. The only way to play with other people, is by having wifi. You can not play against the people in the room. Just on wifi. A thing I don’t get, is that you can play wifi. You can play with two people. Why not four? I don’t understand. Another thing, it is two player on campaign. I thought, oh, great, my brothers can help me. I was wrong, there is no split screen. There are two aimers on one screen. It is hard to snipe a guy in a window across a window with a aimer in your way. It makes it more difficult, when it is suppose to be better and easier. Even though this game has some bad things, it still is great game, amazing. It deserves five stars, period!
3 Stars call of duty world at war, NOT for beginners
This might be a great game but NOT if you are new to FPS. There is no tutorial, No directions came with the game. I should not have to look online, even then all that would be given are cheats. (why buy if your going to cheat). I am sure if you have experience with these kinds of games, it would be amazing. If you are a beginer to the “style”… I think it a waste of money. Start with an easier game. Had I known I would not have gotten it for my husband. I could find better things to do with $50. especially on the Wii.
