When you target an enemy, your crosshairs will snap to that foe to give you a better chance of scoring a hit. In addition, the game offers a "smart targeting" aim-assistance system that can't be turned off unless you're zooming in with a scoped weapon. There are two additional control settings, but those are less precise. You fire your weapon by tapping on the right stick, and if you double-tap and hold it down you release a steady stream of bullets. Movement works just as it would with a standard console controller (the left onscreen stick is used for walking while the right is used to look around). You can purchase new weapons as you earn money from killing zombies.Ĭontrols are always important for a shooter, and the dual-stick option (which you can customize with an inverted y-axis and adjustable sensitivity for both axes) works very well. Each weapon has its own unique properties, and all are useful when mastered. Eventually, you'll get your mitts on such powerful weaponry as a high-powered dart gun, a flamethrower, and a double-barreled shotgun. As you progress, you can purchase new weapons and secrets. You start off with only a pistol on the base level of a map, but as you collect more money, you can destroy objects blocking your path and adventure through the massive factory.
One unique aspect of the game is its sense of progression. The game uses multiple injury and death animations for zombies depending on where you hit them, including bloody explosions that reward headshots. Different guns have their own reload animations, and the abandoned factory level is believably littered with junk. World at War: Zombies also shows impressive attention to detail. The lighting is also good-enemies and scenery clearly stand out while not detracting from the game's eerie atmosphere. It looks so good it could almost pass for a full-on console game, and even when tons of zombies are onscreen the frame rate rarely stutters. While blowing zombies apart is exciting, it's the graphics in this port of Nazi Zombies that really make it impressive. While this starts off easy, hordes of zombies eventually start to rush you in large groups and you must use everything at your disposal, including an extravagant array of weapons, grenades, and barricades, to combat them. Unlike the usual squad-based gameplay seen in the Call of Duty series, the Nazi Zombies mode places you in a walled-in map filled with oncoming undead Nazis and requires you to stay alive for as long as possible. This mode has now made its way to mobile handsets, and despite some shortcomings, the iPhone version of World at War is an impressive game.Ĭall of Duty: World at War: Zombies brings frantic zombie-stomping to the iPhone. The Call of Duty series has become an international phenomenon, and 2008's Call of Duty: World at War took everyone by surprise with its outstanding "Nazi Zombie" cooperative multiplayer mode.
