Call of Duty: WWII Reviews
Call of Duty: WWII is precisely what fans have been clamouring for over the last few years – A return to traditional boots-on-the-ground gameplay with an increased focus on skill and I have no doubt that it will resonate with fans in a way that the last few games have failed to manage.
Another great Holiday release to add to your (likely) growing pile.
Frantic, kinetic, and fun multiplayer – when removed from its context.
Call of Duty WWII plays like high production values were applied to a WWII game checklist. It’s a short blockbuster campaign going through the motions. Maybe that’s all you want.
War isn't hell, but it is thoroughly formulaic
A solid return to its roots, Call of Duty WWII reminds us what made us all fall in love Call of Duty in the first place. It ticks all the boxes which is both a blessing and a curse. Good fun and worth your time but offers nothing exceptional.
All in all, Call of Duty: World War 2 plays like the series' early hits. By no means is this a bad thing, though the overall formula and package is wearing thin.
The three game modes mean there's probably something in here for everyone, but it's doubtful many will get their money's worth when you take the short campaign and the obligatory map pack into account.
The thing is that despite all the achievements, there’s no sign of a true effort to resuscitate this troubled series and all the changes in gameplay seems like a trick to put an end to the endless reproaches. WWII implies to a brighter future for Call of Duty series, but that future hasn’t come yet and with current pace, will not come in near future either.

Yay… boots on the ground! Hopefully that tiresome, overused phrase can finally be airlifted out of the gaming lexicon as Call of Duty is all about that terra-firma trench foot experience, baby. It will be interesting to see if the fickle game-buying public starts to hanker after the good old days of wall-running and power sliding in a few years from now, but as it currently stands, Sledgehammer has delivered exactly the product that was needed to revitalise the franchise at exactly the right time. Call of Duty: WWII is an explosive return to the series' roots that does have a few minor issues and can occasionally come across as being a bit generic, but for the most part is pretty solid in execution. Whether it's enough to win back lapsed fans is anybody's guess, but the highly polished campaign, habit forming multiplayer, and the satisfyingly creepy zombies mode gel perfectly together to bring a package that should at least appeal to the diehards.
With expectations high for the return to World War II, the new Call of Duty game neither shines nor disappoints. The single-player campaign is solid but short, and multiplayer suffers from tons of different technical issues. Yet, the return to World War II is so sweet and exciting that you will barely notice the shortcomings.

If you buy Call of Duty games every year, there's no reason to pass on WWII, which is a quality installment in the long-running franchise. The single-player portion was surprisingly good, but with the exception of the new War mode, the multiplayer was not to my liking. The developers wanted the multiplayer to be more rapidly paced, but it lacks balance because the Airborne division is incredibly overpowered. The Nazi Zombies mode is fun, as always. WWII is a good break from the science-fiction mechanics of the past few releases in the series, and it's a worthwhile purchase since you're bound to sink dozens of hours into it.
The community was not expecting this kind of quality from the franchise, especially after the declining trend of the previous titles, but it's definitely a nice surprise and worth checking out, especially if you're a PC gamer.
Call of Duty: WWII offers an interesting but short single player campaign and a generic multiplayer component that implements a new and entertaining asymmetric objective-based mode called War. Unfortunately, the game suffers in key areas and that keeps it from being great; the audio is bland, the graphics are pretty common, and the gameplay is nothing that we haven't seen a thousand times already. Outside of the War modality, multiplayer wears thin quickly and there is not much reason to keep you playing for long.

With an addictive, fully-featured multiplayer suite, one of the finest campaigns the franchise has seen in years, and a fresh, revitalised Zombies mode, Call of Duty: WWII is an absolute blast that boldly goes where no modern Call of Duty has gone before: back to its World War roots. And it's about bloody time.
While it's not a perfect game, Call Of Duty: WWII knows the expectations it has to meet and hits almost every single one of them fairly well.
The shooting is solid, the graphics are fine, the sound design and musical score are acceptable if uninspired, and yet the game is significantly less than the sum of its parts. At its best it is proof that Activision's stable of developers has run out of ideas, returning to World War II for no other reason than they didn't know where else to go.
An insipid and muddled campaign holds back Call of Duty: WWII just as it disembarks. And the plain, inconsistent, and restrictive multiplayer does not quite reach the heights of its predecessors. Its best features come from the new online War mode and the reliable Nazi Zombies, both of which lack the tidal force to wash all the blood from the sand.
Call of Duty: WWII my be a step on the right track for the series in terms of listening to The Fan Base and moving away from future wars Bringing back old setting, but sadly Activision did not take enough risks to change Game Basics and has only presented the same key elements of the series but in WWII Setting, however the Multiplayer remains fast and enjoyable especially War Mode, and zombie mode is a fun way to play with friends as well as a cinematic story that monitors many of World war 2 events, but don't expect to find totally different game it's Same Call of Duty after all.

Call of Duty: WWII was announced as a return to roots for this franchise and it has reached its goal in achieving that. world war 2 setting has led to a great story campaign and the game has a great zombie mode too. Call of Duty: WWII's main problem is its shallow multiplayer and it's the only thing that prevents the overall experience form being perfect.
