Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS, 2008)

This is a really good FPS considering it's on the DS. The graphics are good and there is plenty of mini games within the gameplay to keep things moving nicely. The only problem is the controls. They work well just at the expense of your hands. Your hands will get tired sooner than you may want them too. It's not the games fault, it's just the way FPS have to be made on the DS. That aside, it does stick to the formula that has made the "Call of Duty" series so fun and popular.
If you end up liking this game you should really check out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for the DS. It's a great game as well and should be nice and cheap on Ebay.

Graphics: excellent 3D graphics for a handheld. Not psp quality in terms of sharpness, but the framerate is always exceptionally smooth. 4 of 5

Gameplay: Different from the consoles, but varied enough to make you want to play it to the end. 3.5 of 5

Sounds: Decent music and sound effects, but the exceptional voice acting stands out. Very good 4 of 5

Controls: Aiming is done with stylus, most controls are done with tapping certain areas on the touch screen. In general, it's slightly slower than buttons on a controller, but it's smooth and accurate. Easier than it sounds :)

Single player consists of a campaign and 'challenges' which are parts of campaign levels with extra objectives like 'get 5 grenade kills' or 'above 50% accuracy' There's about 15-20 hours worth of game here if you want to accomplish everything

Multiplay consists of a LAN type setup and a WiFi competition with deathmatch, CTF, etc on a good variety of maps. 2 v 2 players, so the levels are quite small. Good variety of areas and styles makes multiplayer one of the more fun parts of this game.

All in all, it's worth buying if you don't have to pay full price. One of the best FPS for DS, but that's because there isn't a whole lot of decent FPS out there. If you like COD, go for it.

Call of Duty: World at War once again delivers sophisticated, class-based, online multiplayer action that has made the series famous. New additions include vehicle combat with tanks, and Call of Duty: World at War rounds out the multiplayer experience with improved features, such as persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, customized classes, enhanced perks, and more.

This game has qualities that make it a winner as far as gameplay is concerned. The graphics are a bit on the blocky side but the other great features of the game make up for it.

I have been playing this game with every free moment I have since I received it. The graphics are amazing for the DS. The game play is challenges without being frustrating -- although I'm not very good with operating the telegraph in the game.

The game includes multiple weapons based upon the mission, including machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, artillery, aa guns, and dropping bombs. The background music adds intensity at the appropriate times.
