The single player campaign is visually interesting and enjoyable to play, but the multiplayer mode is where the game really shines.
-
95Hands down a classic.
-
It isn't quite (Serious) Sam and Max's (Payne) level, but it definitely should be regarded right up there as one of the superlative FPS games to hit the PC scene this year.
-
This game gets more addicting by the hour, with secrets and new paths around every corner.
-
92The single-player mode is good. It's...good. It's pretty good. But with the faint-praise damning out of the way, you'll be happy to hear that the multiplayer game is outstanding.
-
90The single player game almost takes a back seat to the real strength of the title which is the multiplayer aspect developed by Nerve. It tastes a lot like crack. Very addictive.
-
The single player mode is truly amazing and very gripping. The multiplayer side of the game sets a new standard in first person shooters.
-
90The graphics are stunning. I can honestly say this one area where this game leaves all the rest in the dust.
-
90A fantastic and extremely addictive game once you get into it.
-
A pleasing solo affair mixed with remarkable multiplayer support once again more than cements id Software's status as the premiere name in first-person shooters.

100An essential, and long-lived, purchase. This is one shooter that you're going to want to savour.
-
100An instant classic.
-
100Even though there are minor pacing problems at times, RtCW delivers an amazing single-player and multiplayer game, and for first-person shooter fans, it's a must-own.
-
100It's the kind of game that you will play all weekend and then emerge on Monday bleary eyed.
-
90The action here is more cerebral, emphasizing teamwork and accomplishing specific objectives over twitchy combat—it’s great fun.
-
The graphics, audio and multiplayer components are astonishingly good, while the highly competent yet unspectacular single-player gameplay lags a bit behind.
-
90You’ll be glad to know that the flamethrower isn’t the only great weapon at your disposal. The venom, which is a devastatingly powerful chain-gun, is one of the most amazing guns I’ve ever had the pleasure to handle in a video game.

91It took the core aspects of every good shooter, and made them great. [Jan 2002, p.64]
-
The AI of the creatures and troops you’re battling is some of the best I’ve seen in any game on any platform. [Feb 2002, p.98]
