    Sure, some of the textures could do with being of a higher resolution, there’s no multiplayer option and… nope, that’s pretty much all that’s wrong here.

    Raster productions has done an excellent port of the single-player missions from both the Xbox and PC versions of RTCW. [Aug 2003, p.35]

    Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection loses big on the PS2 because of its lack of multiplayer modes.

    The repetitiveness of the game got to me quickly. With similar level designs, background music, and graphics, the single player mode made me feel like I was playing the same three or four levels over and over again.

    If anything can bring your romanticized WWII fantasy crashing back to reality, it's inconsistent A.I. [Aug 2003, p.119]

    Without any multiplayer value there is no justification to drop cash on this thin package, leaving it a rental for the curious.

    Falls far, far short of its Xbox forbear in one critical area. The praiseworthy online support that helped the Xbox edition over the steep hill of monotony is as absent as a truant with a severe case of senioritis. They didn't even include split-screen.

    I love this sort of game. Lot's of killing nazis and strange creatures. Comparable to Timesplitters 2. Buy it on sale and it's ok.

    I might even buy me an XBOX as I hear allot of there games now are FANTASTIC. I can't wait for HALO 2, Fable, BC ect.

    I still like my PS2, but I think its reached its expiry date.    … Expand
