So I decided to do a little browsing of Gamestop the other day and I ran across Call of Duty: World at War. Yes, yet another Call of Duty expansion. They should start calling the titles “The Game Before it but in A Different War”. They are the professional “beat it to death” game developers. I picked it up, being the mindless gnome that I am, looking for some fun. Little did I know, the developers forgot the fucking fun part of the game in the fucking game. I suppose we should start playing videogames to get through them as fast as possible since we obviously can’t have fun things to do in them anymore. Maybe after every level we can all jump up and yell “FUN!” and feel like we have had a good time then.
The hardest part of the game had to be the ambushing enemies who would only use the bayonet part of the gun rather than the gun part of the gun, and maybe trying to use God’s Flamethrower that never runs out of flames to take down every enemy in sight. But all of a sudden I realize that this is CoD4 all over again. One of those games is enough (I think Bungie learned their lesson about that one finally. They should give TreyArch a tip or two). This is the same fucking “Shoot everyone and get it over with” shit as the last game, and even has the same goddamn cut scenes that shows you how you will die, and not giving you any way to fix it. I understand that this happens in real wars, but this is a VIDEO GAME, reality is not included when it’s not reality. So stop wasting our time and just flash some text that says “Hey, you died and you couldn’t save yourself. On to the next board now”. But anyway all in all the game is decent if you are a fan of the series, if not you can just fuck all and buy it if you don’t give a shit about spending money on games that you don’t like, or buy it because it’s part of an ongoing historic feat, the one that includes Activision violently murdering every good game with more of the same shit. At least they didn’t fuck it up as bad as EA did to Medal of Honor: Parachute and Die, and God knows I wouldn’t play a game like that again even if they paid me to do it.
Grade: B (Because giving it an A is like saying that a hooker is better the second time if she has no new tricks)
Best Part: The cover art.
Why I wouldn’t buy it: Because it’s the same fucking thing as the last game
Why I would: Because I said “fuck it” and let a blind man decide what game to get
