    На мой субъективный взгляд, игра очень средненькая во всех смыслах, кроме графики (для своего времени).

    После игры 2001 года, в начале эта игра вооспринимаеться как провал, и отстой, но после прогождение уже не такое плохое послевкусие остаеться, да она душная, не интересная, главный герой выглядит как аутист, ненужный город, но сама боевка сочная, на харде надо попотеть, хотя босы очень слабенькие, кроме финального, не плохо но могло быть и лучше.После игры 2001 года, в начале эта игра вооспринимаеться как провал, и отстой, но после прогождение уже не такое плохое послевкусие остаеться, да она душная, не интересная, главный герой выглядит как аутист, ненужный город, но сама боевка сочная, на харде надо попотеть, хотя босы очень слабенькие, кроме финального, не плохо но могло быть и лучше.

    It's not an outstanding game, I would say it is mediocre at best. Comparing to the new Wolfenstein installments this is not the game this franchise deserves, but it was still fun enough for me to complete.

    The most fun i happaned to have while shooting nazis was with standard german WW2 weapons the game offers, the sci-fi additions, that serve as some of the game's main gimmicks, were fine aswell, but they didnt appeal to me that much.
    The veil powers i honestly didnt use all that much outside of sections where they were most required, they were a cool addition, but often made me feel too overpowered.
    The gore system supplemented the gunplay, as it's never a bad thing when a shooter allows you dismember enemies.
    Enemy variety is alright, though screw the jetpack type that appears later in the game, as they come out from nowhere and their rocket attacks can kill you in an instant, with you being left thinking WTF happaned.
    Storyline that focuses around nazis trying to exploit the occult was pretty enjoyable too, and i even felt sad when BJ's newly made ally died.
    Last boss fight in the game was a pain the arse, it's multi layered and has checkpoints, but each segment felt like a torture, as you need to die a few or dozen times to learn the bosse's attack and movement patterns, aswell as the area layout.
    The game's dialogue can be pretty funny and some of the characters in the german ranks are really well voiced in the english version.
    BJ himself looks pretty generic and weird in the game, like for example nazis will describe him as a blonde male, but in game BJ is dark haired.
    Visually of course it looks like a game from 2009, but i'd argue it holds up decently, most visible flaw as can be expected comes from aged, lower resolution texture work, if you're the type of a person who pays closer attention to it anyway.

    A decent game overall.    … Expand

    The idea with a hub-system, that forces you to run through the same areas and kill the same enemies time and again, is just ridiculous. Apart from that, Wolfenstein 2009 does what you´ve come to expect from ID Software in later years - it delivers good, non-stop action, without bringing anything new to the table.

The game after 9 years did not disappoint, but it looks different and the shortcomings are clearly evident. The most important thing is that it is closer to the middle of the game, begins to bother, and moments and irritate the constant shooting, when even outside the mission, running around the city we stumble on the same spawn enemies and once again shoot, given that you can shoot in the game and from the thigh, as the aim after pumping weapons makes no sense, feeling as if the gamepad Run back and forth, the main and secondary quests, no zapominayuschimsya jobs, or characters, lack of humor, the music is repetitive and again shooting. Yes, the weapons varied, but when the crowds of enemies that constantly switch to another do not particularly want, just take one with extended magazine and forward. Do at least a couple of interesting jobs, charismatic characters and a bit of humor and it would be very much. well...

Игра по прошествии 9 лет не разочаровала, но уже по другому выглядит и недостатки явно бросаются в глаза. Самое главное это, то, что уже ближе к середине игры, начинает надоедать, а моментами и раздражать постоянная стрельба, когда даже вне миссии, пробегая по городу мы натыкаемся на все тот же спавн врагов и во очередной раз расстреливаем, учитывая что стрелять в игре можно и от бедра, так как целится после прокачки оружия нет смысла, ощущение будто на геймпаде играешь, где нет вообще отдачи. Беганье туда сюда, по основным и второстепенным квестам, нет запонимающихся заданий или персонажей, полное отсутствие юмора, музыка повторяющиеся и снова стрельба. Да вооружение разнообразно, но когда толпы врагов то постоянно переключатся на другое не особо хочется, просто берешь одно с увеличенной обоймой и вперед.

    The problem is that I've never played previous games in the series so I really don't know why the iriginal or Return to Castle was so praised. On the other hand, I played other id Software and Raven Software games, like Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 3, the Quake games etc. so I was really excited about this game and I just had to try it out.

    I noticed the graphics first and I found them to be pretty good, even though the game uses an old id Tech 4 Engine. Wolfenstein actually looks better than many shooters from that era, including Medal of Honor: Airborne and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. The other thing I was impressed with is the non-linear level progression. The game gives you options, which missions you'd like to do first and which later. There are also many optional side mission. Of course, most of the time you'll be killing Nazis, but there are also many other creatures around, like robots etc. You can also use special powers like night vision and "super shield", which can be fun to play with, but more about these things in the second paragraph. There are many different weapons in this game, for which you can buy upgrades and ammo. Some of these weapons are really cool, like the Tesla gun, but some are ridiculous. The story isn't anything special, but at least there is a story, which is a big step up from, let's say, Far Cry 2.

    On the other hand, the game becomes repetitive because, even though there are tons of different weapons (you will be using only one or two of them most of the time though, probably the MP40 and MP43) and different locations and sometimes different enemies, you can't escape the feeling that it is all just so "nothing special". The game does not feature anything you haven't seen or experienced before. I mean, the story is unbelievably uninspired, super weapons are stolen from F.E.A.R., Doom and Quake. Locations are solid and the town of Isenstadt is well made, but the maps are too small and there is too much loading time between areas. Like I mentioned before, there are also special powers on disposal, but again, the system isn't well made and you can basically use night vision (in the game it's called the veil) all the time which kills the immersion. There are also boss fights and some of them are really hard, which is strange, because the game is in general very easy to play.

    Because of all the things mentioned in the second paragraph, I was a bit disappointed with Wolfenstein. I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's pretty fun to play and most of all, I like the non-linear mission progress, but it could have been much more. After so highly praised Return to Castle Wolfenstein, this must have come as a disappointment to many but nevertheless, I enjoyed it as much as I could.    … Expand

    Fun enough shooter, but nothing special really. If you just want to blast some Nazis you're going to have a good time. But it lacks a bit of the character the other games had.

    After playing through the game (and I didn't have to force myself to beat it like some modern day sequels that end in 3), I can say that this game is getting really unfairly bashed by many people, and I honestly am unsure why. It's not the best, but it was by no means a bad game.

    Just above average, many holes or "just roll with it" moments. Not the worst plot ever, though overdone.

    Graphics/Audio: 6-8
    Im honestly not sure how to rate this, as I cant vividly remember what other games of the time looked like, however even compared to today I don't find the graphics to be bad. Audio reached its pinnacle already, at least to people like me who aren't audiophiles, and this game has decent audio selection while being on par in recording quality.

    Gameplay: 8
    Other than the roller coaster of a difficulty curve, enemies with impenetrable shields in narrow hallways in the second mission when shield penetration is the last power you get, I actually somewhat enjoyed this aspect of the game.
    On the hardest difficulty, it takes about as many bullets to kill you as it takes to kill an enemy, so you don't feel like some god of a human, until you get powers that is, but that's good because it feels powerful then, not just like an added bonus to your gallery of over powered stuff.
    Nice reaction animations of enemies, neck shots actually have appropriate animations as opposed to head shots, however the ai for grunts as a whole is stupid, and only super powered enemies possess the self preservation needed to so much as evade a grenade at their feet they are fully aware of.

    Overall: 7
    If you ever find it on sale somewhere(I believe steam has pulled it down now due to some sort of multiplayer failure) it isn't a bad game to burn through in a weekend. Is it memorable or "required playing"? Not really, but its fun enough, and that's really all I ask of a FPS these days.    … Expand

When I started it up I remembered why I didn't get very far the first time round. The movement is clunky, the FOV too low, the speed too slow, the hints are annoying as are the objective markers. Fortunately, since a long time has passed since its debut a few mods have been released in the meantime, one of which is called NeuroWolf and addresses all the issues I had with the core gameplay mechanics.
    With NeuroWolf installed the game becomes FUN. Although, having said that, it still takes a while to get moving and it only really hits its stride about halfway through.
    The best parts of the game are the assaults on the Nazi bases, rather than the parts set in Isenstadt, and once you have all the Thule crystals you can really play around with your attacks. The additional weapons are ok, but I stuck to the MP40 for most of the game, barely touching the rocket launcher or Tesla gun, and saved most of the other weapons for the bosses.
    Overall, a fun game, mired by poor console mechanics on the PC. If this game had originally been developed for the PC, like the original Wolfenstein games, instead of being an obvious console-port, it would have been far superior.    … Expand

Thus when I finally gave up waiting for a Mac version of Wolfenstein to be released, I bought the PC version and loaded it on BootCamp. First of all... the game plays great via BootCamp.

As the game opened, I thought to myself that it was well on the way to being as much of a classic as RTCW. But alas the game never quite makes it. It looks good, and the play was smooth, but that is best I can say. Unlike RTCW, the storyline of Wolfenstein never "creeped me out". The side missions seemed a waste of BJ's time and effort. The NCPs were wooden and only served to point out how fake BJ's over all mission seemed to be. In my mind this game went a long way in convincing me that the old fashion "linear game" model has merit. Don't get me wrong... the game is challenging and I was happy to play all the way through (even though the last chapter is very silly), it was nothing more than a run of the mill FPS. The game never captured my imagination. I vacillated on what score to give the game. End the end, I had to give it a 7 (the edge of positive) simply for the sake of an old mutual friend... RTCW. 12 years after RTCW, it still holds up as a great came... I doubt I will be able to say the same about Wolfenstein in 12 years.… Expand

    The graphics are better than the last, but the game play lacks something, yet I can't describe it, but it's just not as good as the original RTCW.... I believe game designers simply do not put enough time and quality into games anymore, so what tends to happen is that the graphics/features are 'taking-over' the overall 'fun-ness' of games.

First is Gameplay, it is bad for a few reasons. The game trains you early on to look for weak spots on enemies and objects, it highlights these weak spots in red, however, later on in the game, these red weak spots are used only some of the time, leaving you wondering how to complete a mission or reach an objective, or kill a boss. You will die many needless deaths because of this. The AI in this game is just awful, enemies will throw gernades and then run into them, you can shoot people's heads off, but if they fall off a ledge they will scream with no head. You can shoot enemies that are no aware of you yet with a sniper rifle and they will continue to walk like nothing happened. In terms of strategy simply wait in a corner and any grunts you alerted will eventually walk in front of you making for an easy kill, if they don't blow themselves up first. Graphics do the job, they look the part, the veil world is a nice touch but the entire open world setting could have been dropped in favor of cut scenes like the original. The open world ends up becoming a pain later on in the game once you're weapons are upgraded, you will simply switch to the veil world just to run fast through the maps. Sound will react dynamically to the action on the screen, however, it's buggy, many times it will continue to play the suspenseful music while nothing is happening simply because 1 gaurd is lost on the map trying to find you. The weapon upgrade ability is a cool feature, however if you miss a gold bag/bar while playing a mission, you can't go back to that mission to replay it, so if you miss any secrets or gold it's gone until you play again. The game is decent, but not what you would expect from a AAA title especially considering that its wolfenstein, it's worth playing, but only as a rental or a year from now when it's $20 used at the game store.… Expand

Why be careful? Why not just run around like a headless chicken and shoot the sh*t out of everything? Id, you've got to change this. All tension and care is gone. It's hard to take anything seriously - and very soon after that it's hard to care about the game. Get rid of the instant health recovery. Stop clowning about with floating nazis and silly occult powers. The graphics, while dated, ARE really nice for the engine and run well even on older machines. You guys CAN code - you just can't make a decent game without clowning around. Why don't you grow up?… Expand

    I feel a bit disappointed, since by popularizing the FPS genre, I always have high expectations towards Wolfenstein games. Altough this one has some exciting moments, It doesn't really shine in the vast sea of FPS games. The problem with the concept is the same as in Crysis: without the graphics and superpowers its just a generic shooter. But I think giving more attention to the I feel a bit disappointed, since by popularizing the FPS genre, I always have high expectations towards Wolfenstein games.

    Nice game although it does use an outdated graphics engine (Doom 3 engine) but it scales well on older pc's and looks nice on the newest hardware. The game it's self is more or less like Call of Duty 4 in my mind (Same navigation system) and same play-style . I am yet to try multiplayer but i doubt it has much so offer if you compare it to COD4, but you never know!

Single player thus far i have enjoyed the game it was what i expected, a quick fund raiser for the companys involved. Is is worth yout time and money? I would say YES but dont expect to get more than a few months out of this game. 7/10 P.S Killing Nazis is always a pleasure, enjoy the game people!… Expand

    In the end this is a by the numbers shooter with slick graphics, and ample opportunity to shoot supercharged Nazis. It's not going to win any awards but it's worth checking out if you’re looking for a weekend to pass the time shooting everyone's favorite bad guys.

    Dated look and tired “twists” of the barely noticeable story fail to impress. Wolfenstein is a true mediocrity in all regards – it has neither shameful slip-ups nor flashes of inspiration.

    Throw away your fears – this game is not “oldie and weirdie” as some can assume. It’s a smart fast shooter with a couple of great features. Pity some elements don’t work as intended. [Sept 2009]
