Game Review & Description: Call of Duty returns, and to many people''s surprise, it''s going back to World War II. While original series creators Infinity Ward brought the series into the modern day, developer Treyarch are setting out to make the definitive historical first-person shooter. The Soviet attack on Berlin features intense street battles Take on the Japanese navy as you board a U.S. flying boat World at War features the most realistic fire effects ever The new ability to swim adds to both the story and multiplayer modes The game is primarily set in the Pacific theatre and has a much more realistic, violent tone requiring less-linear game play than previous Call of Duty installments.

Also featured is a campaign on the Eastern front, where you take control of a soldier in the Soviet Red Army during the attack on Berlin in the closing stages of the war. The game also includes the series'' first co-op mode, while the competitive multiplayer mode aims to build upon the achievements of Call of Duty 4 and add to the game''s longevity.
