Call of Duty: World at War

Wow. Excellent review of the single player campaign.

For a game whose main focus for many players will be disproportionally skewed toward online multiplayer (for many to the complete exclusion of the single player campaign), the dearth of mention given to that portion of the game is notable.

You might have at least mentioned that it works almost identically to Modern Warfare, albeit skinned in WWII drag. Incorporating the same style of XP system, all the hokey "perks", and unbalanced n00b-hammers of its predecessor. (IMNSHO, if you're good enough to aquire air strikes and the like, you should already be winning anyway)

Myself, I'm really only interested in the single player portion of the game, but I'm fairly certain I'm in the minority there, and while I'm sure your review score is appropriate for that portion of the game, from the context of the review text itself, its unclear if the multiplayer experience figured into it at all (aside from possible credit for providing splitscreen (it'd be a negative for me, splitscreen being adjudged a sin in my branch of Pastafarianism))

Anywhoo, for a game which, if my anecdotal experience with Modern Warfare (admittedly not very extensive) many of its most enthusiastic players won't even give the single player campaign a second look, if they even give it a first, for a review to focus so exclusively on the that portion seems curious.
