Return to Castle Wolfenstein

It's still a class game I absolutely love it The best shooting game I played

Whoever created this game was a genius... It had a good story plot and had some cool graphics and some action and adventure and some great elements that has added onto this game...

Also... The enemies are hard but it was still fun after all... And some power guns that you can also use them to shoot...

This game is like a Shoot, Think and Run genre... 1st level was so hard that everyone would took time to play it but it was still fun though....

So save your money for the other wolfenstein[Enemy territory is fun]or this if you want to....

10/10

While Return to Castle Wolfenstein may have some good level design, good weapons, good graphics, good sounds and very balanced gameplay, there is nothing in it that one would'nt have seen before in other games. They've tried to squeeze in a proper story for the game but at the end, the story becomes pretty useless and is entirely predictable. But as far as fun alone is concerned, it just falls slightly short of being a classic. There is unfortunately not much long term appeal and there would'nt be much of a multiplayer following for it either. Worth giving a try if can pick it up cheap. While it does have several shortcomings, it is still more fun to play than most games today.

All these years later, Return to Castle Wolfenstein offers a very fun single-player experience.

The level design is generally intuitive, and grows stronger as the game progresses. The areas you occupy in-game are made more immersive through immaculate attention to detail and period-appropriate decoration.

Certain aspects of the game's visual presentation have aged particularly well, for instance characters' faces and the weapons.

There's good feedback in firefights - you'll usually be able to tell whether you've hit your enemy. However, hitboxes aren't very accurate. Spend enough time using a sniper and you'll realise that many of the shots you clearly miss in fact hit the intended target. It's better to wrongly register misses than not recognise hits, I suppose!

The stealth can be frustrating. It's almost as if AI detection works using RNG instead of a coherent pattern. Sometimes you'll be spotted half a mile away through a dark mist; sometimes the soldier you're sneaking up on will have no peripheral vision whatsoever.

It took me a while to adjust to the absence of an aim-down-sight ability for most weapons in the game, but as your arsenal expands you'll find something that works for your play-style.

A slightly frustrating component of the game is its tendency to use a start-of-level save instead of your latest quicksave for its automatic reload.

There are probably fixes for all of the issues I've raised in this review, but nothing in Return to Castle Wolfenstein agitated me to the point of caring to seek out mods or patches. Take the game as you find it and you'll still be having fun most of the time.

I played and finished Wolfenstein 3D back in '92 (I believe that was the year...) and it was a great game! Following that game was the Doom series, then the Quake evolution, now RtCW. Using the powerful and beautiful Quake III engine, this game includes multiplayer and single player modes. This game screams quality, from the grand architecture to the brilliant flame effects. Tired of the monotonous deathmatch modes in Doom and Quake? Not to worry, multiplayer in this masterpiece is all team-work. Like puzzles? This game is full of difficult-to-find secret areas and interesting puzzles. But the grandeur does not end there! You will overhear important nazi conversations, read interesting documents, experience the awesome A.I. abilities (such as tossing your grenades back at you); and more! This title rightfully should be awarded game of the year. I give it a perfect 10! Hurry over to Electronics Boutique, Gamestop, or an other major video game retailer; and purchase your copy of Return To Castle Wolfenstein! See you on the battlefield!!!
