COD:WaW is a great next release for the COD series. It is almost exactly like COD4 since it is built on that engine. So, the controls are exactly the same. The awesome responsivness you are used to in COD4 is there.
The weapons are older since it is a throw back to WW2, but they meet the needs of silenced weapons, land mines and multiple perk combinations.
If you loved COD4 as much as I did and you fine with a WW2 game, then you'll love COD: WaW.
What's great about it: The action is great, controls are smooth and graphics are great
What's not so great: Maps in beta are a little dark, but still very details and realistic

It has a different feeling than the fourth one but you get used to it fast. The enemies come at you harder on this one and the guns are realistic for what they acutally used during that time. Great coop mode and single player. This is my favorite game right now. Well done!!!!

Overall, it's a fun and addicting, yet unoriginal, game worth the money. But there are some bugs with regards to the Enemy AI. All too often you see them just staring blankly at you not shooting...
What's great about it: Graphics, Flamethrower
What's not so great: Unoriginal, Short Campaign, Moronic Enemy AI

I would say the review of this game depends totally on whether you have played COD4 Modern Warfare much.
If you have not spent alot of time playing COD4 will probably love it. Graphics although shadowy and grainy at times are intriguing and it is probably the best WW2 multi-player game ever made. Although the solo gameplay is relatively short the multi-player can go on forever and takes substantial time to level up and unlock all the weapons, perks and challenges.
If you spent(d) hour after hour on COD4 as I did(do) I believe you will be extremely disappointed with Cod5 World at War. I don't know anyone that has purchased this series for the solo play alone, so I base this mostly on the multi-player online gameplay. The good side is there are more game types such as war, capture the flag, and veteran to go along with the COD4 standards. There are also 4 hardcore game options. Although tanks add a new exciting experience they usually end up getting you killed if you don't have ground support troops to help protect you.
The gameplay thoroughly disappointed me. after playing the beta I half expected a small letdown, but figured the many new areas and weapons would make up for it. I was wrong. MAny of the maps have a shadowy grainy feel to them. Often I see the graphics move for no reason which often can be mistaked for enemy movement. Several of the maps sprawl which may be nice in some Ground War and Free for All games, but tends to be annoying in most others. There seems to be a definate power shift to sub machine guns in my opinion which makes it harder to level up other guns and annoying while getting shot from accross the map with an MP40. I have many issues with the power/fire rate/range of the weaponry. I'm sure you have experienced watching a replay in COD4 feeling like you shot someone way before they shot you only to see in the replay you never pulled the trigger. I experience that about 5x more often in COD5 which has almost single handedly made me return to COD4. There are reports of cheats available to allow up to 6 perks(only shows 3) which would explain players seeming invincable without the fireproof and/or juggernaut perks on. I can't substantiate these claims, but I can say I get frustrated playing the online game more than I enjoy it.
To end my review let me say... I hope the rumours are true and can't wait for (praying) Infinity Ward to finish COD6 hopefully in time for Chistmas 2009. I will never pay full price for a multiplayer game developed by Treyarch again.
What's great about it: Tanks, Flamethrowers, Zombie level reward for finishing solo level
What's not so great: Where to start... Short solo campaign, Glitchy multiplayer, hard to see maps

Well, Zombies is great, [If you're gonna get a map pack, get 2 and 3. those one's are the best]. i like multiplayer too. The campain is easy, story is o.k. Some noobs play this all the time which get's old when you're playing multiplayer. I can't wait for modern warfare 2. to be honest, call of duty 4 was better. this game is much better when you have xbox live. I've had a lot of fun with this game, but if you're thinking about buying a call of duty game, wait for modern warfare 2 to come out. Peace Out!
What's great about it: Zombies! and multiplayer =]
What's not so great: Campain is easy, a little short, noobs who play too much...
