    The best horror game that had ever made...

    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

    A ton of fun...but falls into same trap

    I cant say enough about this game. It has some of the mose realistic graphics and the most creep situations avalable. FINALLY some one put some real effort into the AI. When shots go off people come a running...no like in men of honor 2 were a mechanic is carrying a box about 20 or so feet from where you are filling this German full of lead.

    The variety of the missions was refressing but the only thing I didnt like was the anti-climacitc ending (as is common in most games). Heinrich was a bit too unrealistic for a sci-fi junkie like me. And I would have liked a stage where one can go pop deaths head.

    Aside from all the nit-picking this is my pick most recommended.

    It's baack...

    Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a well-executed update to id's Wolfenstein 3d from 1991. While the storyline is original (though it obviously rips from Raiders of the Lost Ark), there are a few technical issues that my anal-retentive brain just can't leave alone. Fortunately, I won't go into them here.

    Once again placing the player into the well-worn boots of BJ Blazkowicz, the game starts you off just as the original did; you were captured and tossed into the dungeon of Castle Wolfenstein, and you just killed your guard. The start even looks about the same; You're looking at the door to your cell, the body of your guard in front of you. However, the original started you with his gun and 8 rounds. Here, you start with your knife (which looks like a Fairbairn-Sykes model), but you don't have to go very far for your first pistol (it's in the doorframe).

    As the game travels through the Balkans, occupied Norway, and, of course, Germany itself, you almost feel like those are your hands holding that "borrowed" MP40. In one mission where you must escort a "liberated" Panzer through a town, you feel as though you're walking through a bombed-out city; piles of rubble line the roads, buildings look unsteady, and many of the NPC's you encounter have bandages applied.

    My main gripe is that the members of the Wehrmacht you encounter speak in accented English. Sometimes, they'll say something in German (like when they're muttering to themselves, or when it'd be very easy to figure out what they mean), but when it's a miniature cutscene (the second and third people encountered on the Norway mission come readily to mind), the conversation is mostly in English.

    Excellent sequel/reboot!

    This game is actually a pretty good vision and rebooted sequel to a legendary first person shooter "Wolfenstein 3D". It gives you a completely new visuals, characters, possibilities, weapons, gameplay, atmosphere, music and enemies. Now, all mentioned above... is pretty cool in the game. The graphics are excellent, and remember, this is 2001 we are talking about. Id made a quite good step with this one and they gave us a faithful sequel to the "Wolf" fans and upcoming game playing generations. There's nothing much to say for my side anymore, but there are several good things I'd like to mention. The plot is terrific, again as Agent Blaskowitz, here to fight Nazis and merciless ghosts and demons. The game is pretty dark and has this scary atmosphere, combined with eerie music, which is good, while in old game we had quite a colorful themed levels. While you fight Nazis, the atmosphere is reasonably different and it is followed by high voltage music score and very dynamic action. There are also few levels which contains only Nazis and certain nazi bases without ghosts, so it's good to have some balance there. It is very enjoyable and fun. Take my word for it and play it.
