The upgradable weapons added an extremely fun gameplay element. The boss bad guys were fun to take down. The story might not have been unique or new but it moved the game along nicely and I enjoyed myself. Haven't found a game quite as good as this in the shooter genre until the new Tomb Raider (for similar reasons!). p.s. I don't hand out 10-star reviews often.… Expand

I have played Wolf3d, Spear This is quite possibly the best WW2 game I have ever played. I have always been a fan of the Wolfenstein series. I have played Wolf3d, Spear of Destiny, RTCW, and even Enemy Territory (though I really sucked at it). After finding out about this game on GametrailersTV, I promptly preordered it. When it came it, it just blew me away. At first, it seems like a typical WW2 shooter, with you killing Nazis with a bunch of resistance members with your typical MP40 or Kar98. Later in the game, you get your taste of the Veil, which is this supernatural environment that also gives you extra abilities, from being able to walk through certain walls to being able to put up a shield to block enemy fire. You also get supernatural weapons as well, like the Tesla Cannon (which electrocutes people) and the uber fun Particle Cannon (which just flat out vaporizes the nazis). That's why I like this series, its supernatural element. Being that WW2 games have been done to death, it was a nice change in pace for me with the Wolfenstein series. Singleplayer is just amazing. You have a little town where you can actually freeroam. You can visit the resistance safe houses, or go to the black market to upgrade your weapons with gold that you find lying around the game. It has a great story, fun enemies, fun guns, and fun powers for you to use. Multiplayer was also quite fun. It is very heavily based on teamwork, so you need to coordinate with your teammates if you wanna outplay your enemies. Multiplayer isn't as good as the single player, though. For one thing, there isn't really that many physics in the game. The bodies pretty much fall rigidly on the ground, which gets especially ugly should you die on some stairs. Even then, multiplayer was uber fun after I got over the graphical problems and started focusing on the gameplay, which helped retain that RTCW feeling of multiplayer, but with some added things to make it better. Wolfenstein is probably the first WW2 shooter in a while that I actually had fun with (Call of Duty World at War wasn't that great, except for Nazi Zombies). I recommend getting this game, because it is DEFINATELY worth it.… Expand

   I don't understand the negative reviews of this game. I feel it fits right in to the Wolfenstein franchise nicely. There are some great I don't understand the negative reviews of this game. I feel it fits right in to the Wolfenstein franchise nicely. There are some great things here...blood soaked bullet wounds, gagging nazis gasping for air after being shot in the throat, body parts flying off. Good old classic gore, thats whats been missing in the last few WWII FPS I have played and fits in nicely with the original Wolfenstein/Doom legacy. @ the AI complaints... This is a run and gun body count game, the AI doesn't need to beat me in chess, just entertain me. Does anyone play games for fun anymore or all we all supposed to be serious professional gamers now? I think it's funny all the people complaining that the MP is not like RTCW, because those same people would be complaining if it WAS just like RTCW and claiming theres no innovation and it's just a remake of RTCW blah blah blah. Go get this game sit down and relax let some steam off and kill some Nazis....remember like when we played the original back in the day...no clans, no professional gamers... we played games for fun and "gasp" entertainement.… Expand

   In many ways, this feels like the long-awaited conclusion to the "Old-school and Proud of it" trilogy, that began with Doom 3 and Quake 4. In many ways, this feels like the long-awaited conclusion to the "Old-school and Proud of it" trilogy, that began with Doom 3 and Quake 4. It's a simplistic, gore drenched, undeniably fun FPS experience; filled with grotesque and varied enemies, as well as a satisfying selection of weapons to shoot, burn,zap, and desintegrate the Nazis with. The very definition of an 8/10 game.… Expand

The positive elements include upgradable weapons, boss fights and an open-ended mission structure. But the framerate is bad, the story is okay and the action does get repetitive. Still, if you're in the Nazi-killing mood, you'll find this to be quite fun. I would rate it with a 7.8 out of 10… Expand

   I've played all of the Wolfenstein games on the PC and RTCW is one of my all time favourite games, so it was only natural that I would I've played all of the Wolfenstein games on the PC and RTCW is one of my all time favourite games, so it was only natural that I would buy this new version of Wolfenstein, although in this case, on the 360. First let me say that I really enjoyed the demo, sure it was oldschool but it was good fun and there's always place in my 360 collection for some oldschool shooters. The complete game on the other hand? Dear or deary me... Where to begin? Well, I can sum the game up in three words: "bland and boring". The level design is horribly uninspired, the gameplay borders on tedious and unlike RTCW which feels very slick this version feels clunky. The veil powers add nothing of real interest and feel gimmicky. The RPG, yes RPG, elements are completely out of place in a game like this and just don't work imo. But the absolute worst thing is the whole game feels unfinished. It's very rough around the edges and lacks even the most rudimentary of polish we expect on the 360. I wasn't expecting MW2 with this release but I was at the very least expecting a fun oldschool FPS and Wolfenstein couldn't even manage that. :(… Expand

RTCW has better online than this.… Expand
