Achtung! Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies infests iPhone

Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies supports up to four players over Wi-Fi, and two players over a local Bluetooth connection. You can use the iPhone's tilt sensors, or the always enjoyable virtual analog thumbsticks, to control the game. With Apple remaining hands-off in the space, the game supports "Achievements" and a "Leaderboard," but they're presumably isolated from other games. The description also promises that the game will "fully support future Downloadable Content, ensuring that the classic survival experience will live on with new maps." Thanks, in-game purchasing!
What's less clear is who is behind the development of Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies. The iTunes Store lists the game under "Vivendi Games Mobile," the presumably outdated name of Vivendi Games' mobile gaming arm, taken over during the 2007 merger. We've put a line into Activision. [Update: The press release just went out over the wires, and it states that Zombies was "developed by Ideaworks Game Studio" who have brought other high-profile cell phone games to market, including Metal Gear Solid Mobile, Project Gotham Racing, and Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode Final Fantasy VII.]

I'd like a MW2 stat tracker app. Maybe even a mobile version of MW2. MW2!

The EFFING iPHONE gets the zombie level even though the wii didn't... and I was still charged full price... Still sour about that one :(

Wait, you actually bought CoD on the Wii?

That screen doesn't look half bad, but I doubt it plays as good as it looks.
*waits for the next Joyswag*

eh no thanks. As much as I like the idea of big name titles releasing on the iPod/iPhone, i cant help but think that this will have terrible controls like other fps on the app store. I dont know it could just be me but im not to good at navigating the little touch joystick especially in a game where you always have to be on the move

Wonder when the Activision Money Generator app goes up.

As much as I enjoyed Nazi Zombies, I was always urked by the fact that in order to get another new map for that mode was to get a pack for $10 including maps for the multi that I never really played. I just want a zombie map pack dammit!

$9.99 for 1 levels a lot! But it looks n plays great!! I was suprised how smooth n good it looks. N there's some very good control options. Suprised me.
HazyCloud @ Nov 16th 2009 12:30PM
9.99 for one level? Thanks for saving me 9.99.

...Wasn't the map packs $9.99?
Forchy @ Nov 16th 2009 1:16PM
Yea. $9.99 for the mp map pax that had new mp levels n 1 zombie level. Yea the price is rediculous. But it does play amazing. The price will go down quick like most iPhone games. There's too much choice for them to sell that high.

inc hundreds of thousands of dollars that the one dude that made this will never see.

I worked as a QA Tester for Activision on all the World at War DLC and I've never even heard of this. I'm curious who developed it, as I'm sure it wasn't Treyarch.

It was Ideaworks3d
