Continents erupt in flames and hails of gunfire as war breaks out on an unprecedented scale. This is World War II, where a massive conflict rages on two fronts: Europe and the South Pacific. Answer your nation's call and travel to distant lands where you'll take part in devastating battles that gripped a generation and laid the foundation for the world as we know it today. Do you have the courage, the cunning and the commitment to fulfill your duties and see the war through to its harrowing end?Prepare for global conflict presented in all its terrible grit and immediacy. In Call of Duty: World at War, you assume the role of a U.S. Marine or a Russian soldier in the waning days of the Second World War. Travel to the far reaches of the conflict, from war-plagued Berlin to the dense jungles of the Pacific theater, as you confront enemies who refuse to contemplate surrender or retreat and who fight all the more desperately ~ and more dangerously ~ knowing the end is near. Employ the weapons at your disposal, including a flamethrower and other new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, and fight to complete your mission as battles explode around you with all the terrible chaos of real war.

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
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
