This game is hands down has the best graphics on the Wii so far! and the controls are tight.
Best thing that impressed me besides how the game looks. was finally some got smart and added an option so you can adjust the sensitivity of how fast you can move the remote around. so you can adjust that to you liking. so no more remote being either not sensitive enough or being overly too sensitive.
For those complaining about the control responsiveness quit being lazy and go to the control setting and adjust the sensitivity. (problem solved)
As usual though for a call of duty game the campaigns are short but has a good storyline. but the beauty of this game is the the multiplayer aspect which is easy to get into or set up a game with up to 8 players and experience almost no lag. At least in the games i played plus they kept the rank system for the multiplayer and you can create you own classes with custom weapons and such you can unlock either through playing the campaign or earning points in multiplayer.
I gave the game a 10 due to how well the graphics and game plays both in campaign and in multiplayer. it as good as a 1st party game.
So this game is finally a Fps worthy to be in anyone's game library. i after i tried it out i admittedly click the keep it button :)

I have played a lot of Call of Duty games. And i played the first Call of Duty game for the Wii which was the third one and on every system that was a bad game. Treyarch (The people who made this game) made the third Call of Duty, so you might think this one is bad. Thats not true. The campaign mode is much better than the third one and has Coop, a very fun option to the game. But overall i thought the campaign wasnt quite as good as Call of Duty 4 (Which wasnt on the Wii). I dont remember Call of Duty 3 having Multiplayer,but it might have had it. The multiplayer on this Call of Duty is almost exactly the same as the multiplayer in Call of Duty 4. Which is a very very good thing and i like the multiplayer the best. It still has everything that the forth one had besides if you have played Call of Duty 4 on xbox or ps3, it doesnt have game modes such as sabotage and search and destroy. This one doesnt have it for the wii prouble because there arent enough buttons or something. And there arent any mics which isnt that great. But overall i loved this game both campaign and multiplayer. One thing i have to say is this game takes a lot of getting use to and if you play against a lot of good people when you first start, you will prouble want to destroy this game but dont just play the campaign on recruit and youll get used to it fast. You need to rent this game and you really should buy it. And if you have an xbox or a ps3 get this game on that too.
It's like WWII all over again

Call of Duty: World at War isn't a unique concept. Truthfully, the WWII shooter is one of the most saturated gaming conventions still alive. But what it does, it does well.
The story takes you to the American front in Japan and the Russian front in Germany. The battlefields feel like war zones, with piles of rubble and scattered soldiers. Enemies will start shooting you from an unknown position. Grenades scream in while your brothers-in-arms rush to the front lines. Yes, this is what Call of Duty is known for and it still proves effective.
However, the game becomes repetitive, often mired in drawn-out firefights as you move from cover to cover.
The Wii light-sensor does a good job at aiming, but there are still issues with precision. And why I need to twist the Wiimote to fire an alternative grenade still alludes me.
Some odd design choices and a very unstable difficulty brings this game down. While it's a solid WWII shooter, there's just so many that this gets lost in the middle. It's not the best, but far from the worst.
I found that when I reached an impasse, I felt no need to continue. Ultimately, that's the problem with this game: it feels like you could take it or leave it. I'd recommend taking it for a limited time to see which category you're in.
