    With no multiplayer, however, Wolfenstein doesn't seem as attractive when compared to another classic GBA rerelease. [July 2002, p.93]

    With 66 levels, only four weapons and none of the cleverness of its Bam! brother "Ecks Vs Sever," this is one castle you won't be wanting to return to regularly. [GamesMaster]

    The confusing maze of 3-D hallways and rooms rotates and scales smoothly, while the sound effects are crude and rough. [July 2002, p.151]

    There is absolutely nothing upgraded in Wolfenstein 3D for its GBA romp, and with the game being so simple, this accounts for most of the damage done to its overall score.

    Like it or not, this is an OLD game, and the play mechanics are archaic by today's standards. [June 2002, p.124]

    The game's optimal target audience would be younger players looking for an easygoing shooter, but the M rating and abundance of swastikas pretty much excludes the majority of this group, save for those with open-minded parents.
  9. IGN

    The port as a whole is very disappointing considering this game doesn't push even half the detail of BAM's other first-person shooter, "Ecks vs. Sever."
  10. All Game Guide
    30
    The underlying problem is that despite being the originator of the first-person shooter, Wolfenstein 3D just doesn't hold up nearly ten years after its original release as PC shareware.

    Right, so, this is a great port. One of the best actually. It's Wolfenstein, so it's a 10 off the line.

    Loses a point for lacking music,    Right, so, this is a great port. One of the best actually. It's Wolfenstein, so it's a 10 off the line.

    Loses a point for lacking music, and loses a point for disparate content (fewer weapons). I'd rate it lower or higher for it being portable but it's exempt of that scrutiny given that it's a legacy port essentially. What you see is what you get, and what you got was Wolfenstein 3D on the GBA in 2002.    … Full Review »
