Call of Duty 5, World at War

Those of you with teenage children will probably know one thing: kids these days spend a lot of time on the computer, playing games! Call of Duty is one of the most popular computer games of the past few years – in this article, I’m going to explain how to buy this year’s release, Call of Duty, World At War; when its released; and everything you need to know to make sure you get the right one, for the right person!

Call of Duty 4 was one of the biggest games to come out last year. Call of Duty 5 (which is just entitled Call of Duty, World at War) is anticipated to be even bigger, encompassing, as it does, even more powerful multiplayer options.

The online function and playability of Call of Duty 4 made that a game with terrific longevity – so not just a 1 hit wonder, a real lasting gift that will be enjoyed well into the new year (providing you have online playing capabilities!).

I have a brother – well in  his thirties – who plays Call of Duty 4 online every week – over a year after buying his copy of the game. Now that is worth the price tag, surely!

This new version is built on the same technology and includes more levels, new weapons and more action. There’s also much enhancement in terms of the multiplayer side of things. Players can collaborate more online, and immerse themselves more in this game.

We predict this will be the number one game on most platforms this Christmas.

Have They Got Call of Duty 4 Already?

The first question you need to ask yourself is this: has your intended giftee (not sure if this is a word!) already got Call of Duty 4? If not, then that would make a great gift in itself (maybe even a double present).

The best way to find out if they’ll really enjoy this game is if they had the one before, and played it to death! If your son, husband, boyfirend or whoever you’re buying for has, in the past year, played practically non-stop on a very realistic military style game, chances are it was this one – but even if it wasn’t, they’ll probably enjoy this game, and the multiplayer options available.

Call of Duty, World at War Platforms

Call of Duty, World at War will come in the following formats:

• PC
• XBox 360
• Playstation 3

• NDS

Call of Duty Age Restrictions

Due to the life-like scenes of violence and shooting, albeit in the context of warfare, this is not a game for young children. I’d personally recommend about a 15 year old guideline, and the game itself has its own advised age restriction of 15 (in the UK) which may vary from country to country – in case of doubt, use your own discretion to decide if its suitable for your child.
