I have both the xbox and the wii versions

i prefer the wii one anytime

guys you should stop reading game reviews they are all lame. better go to youtube and see videos there

and judge alone

in multiplayer reviews they don't mention the simple fact that wii controls are more fun than the boring gamepad

the online also is another part that i enjoy more in the wii version

the battles seem to last a little longer

in the xbox version each encounter with an enemy last 1 second sometimes less

so the gameplay seems boring u just walk around and u fall down with the 1st hit

maybe its similar to real life conditions but it hurts the online gameplay big time

as for the graphics the xbox has of course better ones but it loses so much in the controls department

this is for me what makes this game simply boring on xbox

this is true!! : ) 

i have the Wii version, it's as great as you say, also, 8 people online than 16 is so stupid reason, for god's sake!!

 

the Wii version and HD versions are identical except conrols and graphics, IGN has lost it (not the 1st time)

 

pay more attention to user reviews, than STUPID gamespot/IGN reviews!

 

Where are the user reviews? But then I might find it myself...

edit: I found one but are there more even its from other websites?

Call of Duty: World at War
World at War is a Great Game for the Wii with Excellent Online
This Review's Trust Rating:  2  0  

November 11, 2008 - I held my breath big time and was concerned about what Treyarch would deliver. To my suprise they did a great job with the single player (although I am not through it) and an excellent job with the multiplayer. I WILL SAY THIS NOW AND I CAN'T EMPHASIS THIS ENOUGH...THE ONLINE GAMEPLAY IS GREAT. The original review compares this game to Medal of Honor Heros but I think the online experience and leveling up (as seen in the 360/PS3) modes are great. When playing online your view is first person not in the third person and enemy characters move normally. IGN raves about Medal of Honor but all of the enemy online players and my teammates always looked like they had hip problems with they way their hind quarters stuck out when they moved and chugged around. Hit detection is alot better than MOH Heros. I was tired of unloading a clip into a guy and see him live. It can happen in COD World at War with the infrequent lag but hit detection is very good. I would know b/c I have taken a few headshots and dished out a few. IGN mentions that there are no tanks compared to the 360/PS3 version and I could care less. I played the Beta for the 360 and thought the tanks took the balance out of the game. The inlcusion of the level up system that unlocks weapons, perks, and other goodies is great and 90% the same as the 360 version. If you want a great on line experience for the Wii get this. Now back to the single player game. From what I have seen it is identical to the 360 and PS3 versions and of course the graphics are not as sharp but it is still good. The story is brutal as IGN mentions and the game play is fun. I played through MoH Heros and I personally think this single player verions is 10 times better. Why? It is just my experience. I would highly recommend this game to all Wii owners that are 18 and up. Treyarch catered to the hardcore player with this one through its language and brutality. Buy it you will like it. Have your doubts then rent it, take it for a spin, and I bet you buy it.



end of core gaming days prediction:

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

Agreed. I own the game, I agree with IGN on the controls, MOH needs a sequel cause of their controls alone, but other then that it's not .4 points lower then MOH, if anything it deserves at least as 8.8 to a 9.0. It's a good game.

sidenote: Is anyone going to start a league for it? I want to join...I didn't join  the MOH one but I want to joint this one...



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

ALSO, I think that if this had not been set in WWII it would get a better score as it would not be compared to MOH:H2.

But this review from IGN, and the Tales of Symphonia(sp?) one bother me because it's like they aren't even trying to take themselves out of the review. I mean I understand they are swamped this time of year, but don't half ass your work...

Lol the HD version got a 9.5 in sound while the Wii version got an 8.5

IGN Wii is hating, there's no way sound is that different. Even sound gets scored the same on multiplat music games. I'm starting to hate the anti Wii consensus that is spread all over the gaming media. Just FUCKING review a game without bias in mind, stupid cunts.

It probably the capability for surround sound, which I believe the Wii version doesn't have.


 C'mon outlawauron!  You can't be serious.  The N64 could do surround sound (and did).  The Wii doesn't do true 5.1 digital surround sound, but does simulated 5.1 Pro-Logic II.

MoH it is, then, at least for a while. Glad to hear I've got more money to spend elsewhere!

And by "elsewhere," I mean at the nearest bar. Ahh, the sweet embrace of artificial unconsciousness...

I'm gonna have to ditch you guys and go with Call of Duty.  I love the controls of MOHH2, but there are some qualms I have with hit.  Such as:

- having to switch to grenades instead of having a dedicated button for them.  Why the hell should you have to put away your gun to throw a grenade?

- it's too sanitized.  FPS is the one genre I feel should always be rated 'M', particularly if they're based on wars...

- I can't stand the circle reticle.  I feel like my aim is off because of it.

 

 



Im very suprised, the 360PS3 games will get far superior scores to this version.



Yeah, I must admit, I lost the little respect I hate left for IGN after reading that review. How MoH:H2 gets a better score is beyond me. The only reason I can think of is because they are comparing CoD:WaW to the HD versions which is stupid. Wii games must be compared to Wii games and there's no way MoH:H2 is better. Tightness of controls, maybe, granted but how much does that really matter? And CoD:WaW is otherwise better in everyway.
I think IGN is now only writing reviews for the hardest of hardcore who give a rats ass about such fine details (and this isn't the only review I have issues with in this respect).

Now that I know everything works great AND it's got zombie mode I'm getting it for sure. Had MoH:H2 - sold it. The broken bodies online just were too distracting and I didn't find it otherwise too engaging. The rail shooter gameplay was a nice touch though.



 

8.0 is a good score, but it seems other features were ignored. I don't mind another couple decimal points, but it is definitely worth a purchase.
