call of duty: world at war final fronts playstation 2

With the World at War, Activision's veteran military first-person shooter series heeds a call to return to its WWII roots.No doubt it takes a lot of the same audio effects from its big brother, if you close your eyes this game sounds nearly identical, with only minor audio compression. The sound design for this game is great though. Stuttering and choppy framerate is the bane of any immersive experience. The main issue visually is the frame dropping. It doesn’t partially age well since it can often look like a mess, unlike some 007 Games from the PS2 era who keep their levels clean and easier on the eyes. They did their best to fill each battleground with foliage and detailed obstacles. The game takes a massive hit visually when compared to its big brother on the PS3, however, when compared to other shooters on the PS2 it looks decent at best.

They also included a level where you control a tank which really mixes things up.

Each mission usually has a unique highlight. Whether you’re blowing up anti-air guns, clearing trenches, defending bunkers, or sniping. After all, there are only so many ways to shoot Nazis. Where this game shines is how the game gives a wide variety of tasks to accomplish. No smooth animations or head tilting or swaying while sprinting or crawling, you’re just a sliding head in a warzone. Nonetheless, the game feels like an old shooter doing it’s best, we can’t ask for much more. This is mainly a limitation due to the PS2 controller not have as precise joysticks. The gameplay is impressive for its time, keeping all the same mechanics as the more modern Call of Duty games for the PS3 and Xbox 360. This swap means that half of the game has a more generic World War 2 story like Medal of Honor and other Call of Duty games that came before COD WAW Final Fronts.
