Now, ADS view is triggered by tapping an area at the top of the touchscreen – much easier and, with practice, you'll be doing it without thinking (or looking). For instance, entering ADS (aiming down the sight) mode was previously done by tapping the screen twice with the stylus – a method criticised because it was too easy to go into the mode by accident in the heat of a battle. This is much the same as in Modern Warfare, but with a few enhancements. The left shoulder button is your gun's trigger. The first-person foot action is taken care of with the D-pad, while your viewpoint is all about the touchscreen. And, once you've got past the depressingly familiar gun range training missions with the jumped up sergeant major, the game itself proves brilliant enough that the odd LEGO brick tree hardly registers.Ī large part of the reason for that is its controls, which are near flawless. It squeezes a lot from the little handheld, including a fully fledged online experience for up to four players. I'm willing to concede though there might not be much of a market for a cel-shaded Call of Duty: World At World in which you fight Japanese soldiers with big heads, so you have to give the game its dues. There's little doubt the best looking DS games are the ones relying on stylised graphics instead of die-hard realism. Up close, scenery looks blocky, which somewhat spoils the illusion. It's just that sometimes you wonder if a game as gritty and – for large sections – grey and brown-coloured is best suited to DS. It's not that the game's maker hasn't done a fantastic job with the tools to hand – there's immense depth and detail to levels, more enemies onscreen at a time than previous DS Call of Duty game Modern Warfare and hardly a second of noticeable slowdown. Nintendo proved with Metroid Prime Hunters that it can be, but not many developers have managed anything near as accomplished since and the DS's slightly meagre processing power is always going to struggle shifting polygons fast enough to result in a very slick looking FPS.Īnd Call of Duty: World At War does struggle a little visually. The jury's a bit out on whether DS is a good platform to play a first-person shooter on.
