Call of Duty: World at War- get ready to face some serious Action

Monday, January 12th, 2009

The shooting genre on the portable Nintendo DS has never been dull, with the likes of Dementium, Call of Duty 4, and Moon making for a real bonanza. Likewise there have been many attempts by the manufacturers to bring back the unique and high-adrenaline moments that usually take place during a World War, in order to exploit the budding market. A similar attempt to cater to this market comes in the form of Call of Duty: World at War, a thrilling and enthralling encounter that takes inspiration from the World War II.

The game for its part can be manipulated via a combination of the D-Pad for movement and the touch screen for turning and aiming. The arrangement functions in a flawless manner, which is a real bonus considering this element has been clearly lacking in the games that were launched post- Metroid Prime Hunters, which for its part mesmerized gamers with its expertise in the concerned area. However, the similarities end there, as they are poles apart when it comes to other specifications of the game.

Without doubt the standout aspect of the game is its ability to almost seamlessly bring the console/PC Call of Duty experience to the DS. The game is follows a linear trajectory, and have arcade-style shooters engaging in battles in a realistic environment thereby increasing the excitement as well as your involvement. The story of the game is another of its strengths and it spans both European and Asian fronts, and what gives you a real kick is the narration that follows each level so that you that you are not left high and dry in trying situations. Moreover, the narration is great as well done in a deep clear voice.

The various levels of the game are designed with a lot of care, and are replete with many a dramatic and unexpected moments. The nature of the gameplay may also force you on a number of occasions to take a trial-and-error, which thankfully though is pretty rewarding.
