Good Game. Love the Nazi Zombies:
This is your typical Call of Duty game in most senses. If you like the other ones you will like this one. The only notable feature is the Nazi Zombies, playing that is a lot of fun. The only negative thing I can think to say is that there is no auto update feature. This isn't really that big of a deal, it just means you have to go online and find them yourself, which is very easy, just thought I would mention it so that people know. Overall it's a lot of fun, especially the Nazi Zombies. Great... more info
Forget the multiplayer, let's kill some zombies.:
Alright, for starters: The graphics were great. Unlike Call of Duty 4, where they snuck away with the graphics by blurring the vision, the character's skin and facial expressions were perfectly visible to the player's sight.

Of course many of you have heard of "Zombies", a brilliant idea of Treyarch's to add to the game. The... more info
Irritating:
The graphics are great, and realism is pretty good, but overall this game is downright irritating.
1. Although the game offers a "save" option, it really doesn't save where you want it to. Reopn and you have to start from the beginning of the mission again.
2. The path taken during a mission is very restrictive. Try going left or right to flank- nope, can't. Try jumping over a log...sorry, you have to go around the log. In short, you have to follow the yellow brick road laid out for you. Some... more info
COD for PC:
I purchased the PC version of this game for my boyfriend's Christmas. He hasn't been able to play the game yet. Word to the wise - be sure your computer has the right video card before purchasing this game. My bf's computer is only 3 years old, but it didn't have the most up-to-date video card needed to play this game. $[...] and a new video card later, he's still having issues with the game. Also, the computer people who worked on his computer said there are updates and patches available (some sort of... more info
