This game was good. Was it next gen? No. Was it fun? Yes!!! It capitalized on game play and if your a fan of first person shooters at all.... You will enjoy this game. Even on normal setting this game was Challenging. It did tend to have its "slow moments" but those were easily overshadowed by its intense shooting/dodging periods. Story was OK not great. Action was amazing. Boss battles were Huge and EPIC ... The kind of situations it presented made you think... Lots of deaths... ... Negative side it was not that visually impressive and sound was poor at times. . This is probably the best Xbox one game out right now. That's not saying much but take it for what it's worthOverall I would really rate this 8.0. Worth the rent that's for sure.… Expand

Pure unadulterated fun without the forced multiplayer which no on will play anyways.The graphics is not 2014 gen since it uses the gool ol Rage engine but it still holds up in this era.
   
   The maps are expansive and not claustrophobic like the on-rail shooters (BF,COD) muricans love so much. The violence and gore is spot, the action and gunplay is intense and Boss battles are long, challenging and sometimes with Dark Souls level of difficulty. This game is a gift for gamers who grew up playing Wolf 3D,and not for 12 yr old COD fan-boys..
   
   If someone asks for a good example of FPS in current generation, Wolfenstein TNO will be the first thing that comes to mind. I would give it a 8/10 but seeing how shallow FPS games have been in the past 3-4 years(excluding Halo and Resistance series), i'll give it a 10/10… Expand

The fact that it has many different difficulty levels is great, and regularly saves at points throughout the levels is good too-there is nothing worse than replaying levels after you get killed right near the end of a level. The only down side is there is only about 14 hours of game play until you finish, then that is it. A bit longer would have been better. And you don't even get to kill Hitler or see the war being won!
   It has been left open for another game for sure… Expand

   General Overview:
   While this is not the old time corridor shooter that we old time gamers fell in love with (but what else was there?) itGeneral Overview:
   While this is not the old time corridor shooter that we old time gamers fell in love with (but what else was there?) it certainly has the flavor of Wolfenstein. Great visuals, wonderful voice acting, decent albeit cliched story, and a simply fun game. It will provide hours of play, particularly if you are a completionist, or if you want to rip through it, you can but that would be a shame in my opinion. The introduction of stealth is welcome (at least for me since its my preferred style) but has upset some as it is a departure from the ridiculous power fantasy of the original series. The game also has a darker tone in its story and is a more serious affair compared to the goofiness of the 8 bit classic. All in all a good game, but not one that will set any kind of new standard other than its use of graphic fidelity of the next graphic power of the XBO.
   
   TL;DNR: 8 - A decent FPS experience with a dark atmosphere, well voice acted, tremendous soundtrack, standard gameplay systems.
   
   Technology/engine: 7 - id Tech 5 is a solid engine but occasionally shows its age. The draw distance is acceptable and the engine is responsive to player input although when things are intense it can demonstrate a small lag response that is initially irritating but is quickly overcome by altering timing to anticipate movement to be in sync.
   
   AI: The AI is not the brightest, but is generally responsive and provides movement and life to the game.
   
   Graphics: 8 - The graphics are well done but show a bit of age in the engine particular around some textures. If this game had been developed on a next gen platform it would have been stunning.
   
   Sound: 9 - The sound in this game is superb. You get great distance to source sound recognition and it really adds to the game play, be it stealth or guns-a-blazing.
   
   Soundtrack: 10 - The soundtrack is the strongest part of this game and Machine Games knows it! The atmosphere and Nazi adaptation of classic songs is simply fantastic.
   
   Voice acting: 9 - Very strong voice acting, well paced narrative and decent dialogue, despite being a bit cliched.
   
   Crafting: N/A
   
   Customization: N/A
   
   Game play systems: 8 - Both guns-a-blazing and stealth are well executed although the AI is not the best. The ability to have a wide arsenal immediately at your fingertips is a welcome reintroduction and truly keeps that Wolfenstein flavor intact. Stealth is decently executed and the acquisition of skills by use is a nice touch - reinforcing how you prefer to play, making that play style more viable. Some players, particularly RPG centric players may be unhappy with this as there is no control over what skills you acquire other than by use.
   
   Controls: 8 - Responsive and well executed for the XBO although the occasional lag response can be irritating but is easily adapted to.
   
   Story: 8 - Well written although a bit cliched, but a fun piece of alternate history fiction.
   
   Multi-player: N/A… Expand

   I have been playing first person shooters ever since I bought my first video game console and I have never had a worse gaming experience. TheI have been playing first person shooters ever since I bought my first video game console and I have never had a worse gaming experience. The story feels bland, the gameplay is generic and repetitive, and the player movement feels clunky and awkward. I gave this game a 0 because the ratings are way too high for this game and do not reflect how this game really is in any way, shape or form. I would not buy this game even though at this time its 20 bucks. Not worth the money, buy something else, anything.… Expand
