    The game feels as if its developers wanted to cram in it as many ideas and cliches as possible. It works to a certain extent but leaves the impression it could have been something much better - either a full blown RPG with total freedom or a linear shooter which focuses on the story. As it is - it is a mixture of the two ...

    Wolfenstein might not be a life changing experince or an artistic masterpiece but it is a hell of a lot of fun. If you are a fan of shooters there is no reason not to get this (unless you are tired of WWII).

    Well, first, the good things about the game. The cinematics are top notch and fun to watch. The game stays true to the Wolfenstein series to an extent. Now the bad things: The graphics are terrible for a new game these days. I mean even Left 4 Dead has better graphics than this. It's a boring WW2 game with a boring twist. If you want to play WW2 games with weird crap like this, go Well, first, the good things about the game. The cinematics are top notch and fun to watch.

It's a boring WW2 game with a boring twist. If you want to play WW2 games with weird crap like this, go play CoD5: WaW and play the zombie mode. This game really has nothing new to offer anybody. Also, it's really, really green. I rate it a 4 out of 10 simply for the cinematics. If you can help it, just avoid this one all together.… Expand

    The SP is phenomenal and I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Then I played MP and saw what the deal was. At first sight, mp seemed horrible. But seriously learn the game (it's a lot diff than mp), play in the real modes (not tdm) and you'll have a blast especially since this is a very supportive company.

    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]
