Your foes will stop at nothing to defend their homelands. With swampy ambushes, tree-top snipers, and fearless Kamikaze attacks, there is no safe place to turn. As U.S. Marine and Russian conscripts, you'll battle against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic infantry, vehicle, and airborne missions across a variety of Pacific and European locations. On foot, behind the wheel, or in the air, you'll have to be relentless to achieve victory.

Now you can share the terrifying experience of campaign missions with your friends for greater camaraderie and improved tactical execution. Co-op mode also incorporates innovative multiplayer components, such as challenges, rankings and online stats, and even features a competitive co-op mode that will identify the best player on your team.

« ok game »

good campaine and i love natzi zombie mode but the multiplayer is annoying beacuse they put the extra maps that you have to purtchace into the same mix as the normal ones wich makes it really hard to get into a game.

« I know its kinda late to review this but......... »

after having this game for so long and playing it here and there, I'm finally sitting down to play it on veteran mode. Now I have played it through recruit and even hardened with little to no problem at all, as it should be. But let me tell you, on veteran they pull out all the stops and I mean all of em. For instance no matter how many of your own guys are around you every enemy shoots directly at you! Be prepared to dodge grenade after grenade after grenade after grenade and oh wait 6 grenades at one time!? Yeah sounds like fun! You thought you had help from the AI, think again! This has to be the worst AI I've ever seen, I mean your guys run by the enemy and do nothing, randomly shoot into walls, get in your way and are more of a nuisance then anything. It is the most unbalanced mode I've ever played......COD4 no problem, veteran beat, Modern Warfare 2 challenging but no problem! You have to be extra cautious when playing veteran here though and even then be prepared for grenades and miracle shots from the enemy and non stop units! Me and my brother literally played the same level for over 2 hours and are still playing it as I write this review! And were pretty damn good at COD no exaggeration. I'm sure most people have played this and are onto MW2 by now waiting for Black Ops to come out but for the ones who haven't played this, be prepared to be frustrated out of your mind if you plan on playing it on veteran, seriously........I would hate to play this game on veteran for the Wii.......jesus

« Nazi Zombies is the best »

I bought this game because of the extra game at the end called Nazi Zombies. It comes with the map Nacht der Untoten. Its a great game and is really fun even without the extra maps.

« pretty fun »

starting off with the campaign: it is entertaining and has its moments but not as an epic scale as say modern warfare. after completing it there is always the various difficultys to add that extra challenge. also there is a 4 player coop option which includes most of the missions from the single player ones. this is a pretty cool idea and works well.(most fun with friends) the nazi zombies is also a fun new feature but quickly runs out unless you get the different maps for it. Lastly, the online is your typical cod experience including perks, some custimization, and weapon unlocks. Vehicles are also added to the mix but quickly loose their appeal due to the 'noobs'
Overall a fun experience that at this price shouldnt be missed. If you played any previous cod games you are sure to have a good time.

« My First Wii Wargame »

I've known about the Call of Duty games for awhile. I got this game as an anniversary present from my wife. I'm a history buff particularly WW2.
This game is FUN, and "edgy". The combat is tense, fast paced and seems realistic except for being bloodless. It reminds me very much of the stories I have heard and read by WW2 vets. I don't have a zip shooter, but I do have a pistol shooter for the Wii which worked WELL. I expect to get a lot of time on this game. For me, the mark of a GREAT video game is playability. I don't want to have to read a lot of rules or guess at what I'm doing. This game is VERY playable and a lot of fun even for older guys like me.
