Wolfenstein

Now im am no stranger to wolfenstien games, Return to Castle Wolfenstien was among one of my favourite shooters...back in the day. But by today's standards it is not looked favourably on I mean we have Halo and Kill zone 2 and Call Of Duty 4, Seems Raven soft (and not ID) catered to..oh big surprise the lowest common denominator again when they blended this particular cocktail, Their mixture was comprised of a spoon full of old school aesthetic ladened with modern video game stodge making this a bloated mess rather than a fine aged vintage for old school fans to truly enjoy. If anyone here was expecting anything new and original then you were fooling yourself from the get go. This game was supposed to appeal to the old school shooter, for the fans of wolfenstine but instead they went for accessibility. The game is weighed down by such incredibly tired cliché's such as bullet time, heightened attack strength (which makes this game a cake walk), health regeneration and other "features" that are designed to insult and infuriate gamers who are looking for that old school challenge, Things that out right pollute games of this generation. The enemies are interesting but again nothing that will turn any heads. Quite simply all the conventions that wolfenstine has managed to cram into its small boot space have all been implemented in better games and no amount of gore and Nazi's can cover up this horrible cash in. This is a console game, a terrible PC port and a lazy attempt to revive a franchise that didn't need to ever come back to this shell of an industry.

An imaginative, thoroughly immersive and challenging FPS from veterans Ravensoft. Great, varied set-pieces filled with intelligent opponents, awesome weapons and a sand-box hub world to explore. The upgradeable weapons and powers are a particular attraction. Expect a good, solid 8-10 hour playthrough.

As a die hard fan of RtcW I got this game without hesitation. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but nevertheless I was still pleasantly impressed.
Graphically the game is ok, not exceptional but ok.
Sound like it's awesome, guns and explosions are great, really make you feel like you are firing a MP43 or Kar. :p But on the other hand the soundtrack is not as good as RtcW. It's not as spooky nor adrenaline packed...
Story wise ...I haven't finished it yet, all I can say is that it's interesting.
And finally Wolfenstein is an amazing FPS! If you are looking for a solid shooter, then this is a definitely a 5 star one!

Very good game, its a little like COD world at War with Super natural bits and pieces thrown in.
I wasn't very impressed at first...there doesn't seem to be any application controlled AA and the graphics didn't seem that great compared with modern titles, but once you play for an hour or so it gets alot better! Im not sure what the other chap was on about saying 'the cut scenes are good', as they are very short and somewhat slow! Maybe they get better in the game.
Loading times are very quick on this game which is always a plus.

If you like FPS you should get this to add to your collection. Its good fun and addictive

The game ticks the right boxes in theory but implements them poorly. Graphics aren't bad, the city hub and upgradeable weapons are a good idea but the game seems lifeless and humourless compared to Return To Castle Wolfenstein and even the ancient original. Also has an unforgiveable clash with Kaspersky security - multiplayer is fine but single player crashes out before starting. The only way I could run single player was to disconnect from the 'net, shut down Kaspersky and rename the Kaspersky file found in Programs, reversing these processes when finished. Simple, eh. There's also no quicksave.
