CALL OF DUTY: WORLD WAR II
11
Where 2016’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare looked to the likes
of Destiny and Mass Effect for inspiration, Call of Duty: World War 2 is influenced
by the series’ early games, which focussed on the second world war.
Call of Duty: World War 2 has three modes - a single-player campaign, Zombies,
and multiplayer. Together, these ensure that there’s something for everyone.
All in all, Call of Duty: World War 2 plays like the series’ early hits. By no
means is this a bad thing, though the overall formula and package is wearing
thin. There are some bright moments in single-player campaign marred by arbitrary
stutter and Zombies is always a blast (provided you have friends along for
the ride). But the Rs. 4,499 price tag and a mandatory ~10GB patch before
you can even play it are deal-breakers for a game as mainstream as this. If
you’re looking as a longtime fan, you’re probably going to buy it anyway. Everyone
else is better off waiting for a price drop.
Pros:
Fun campaign
Entertaining Zombies mode
Cons:
Minor stutter in single-player
Mandatory update before playing
