    WOW, just finished the Single player part. I cant believe how the heck this game got so many bad reviews. This is my first review ever and my English is bad.

There are some aspects on which we enjoy or review the game.( They are not treditional parameters but are those which a games notices while playing a game) Graphics:- 10 on 10 I dont think the graphics were bad! Seriously. Who cares what engines is being used. The graphics were stunning. YES. Believe me. I have played Crysis, Crysis warhead, Prototype, COD 4, COD 5, Bionic commando, gears of wars, Mirror's edge etc. I think there were very good minute details provided in the game, as various powers effect, barrel changing their shapes after using Veil energy(3 times), flying creatures after using vail effects, extremely beautiful environment effects, models sure are beautiful. One thing that surprises me that meny people say this game is GREEN, coz i think those people have not played GEARS OF WAR. That game didn't had any color other than grey. And still people found that graphics FANTASTIC. Prototype had cartoonish graphics which didnt looked real at any point of time. Animation:- WOW Remember the first guy you kill in the first level at railway station. Dont you think the that FELT fantastic.Those were really fluent. Its really satisfying to see that guy dying in the proper manner. The other game you will feel the same is COD 4. On top of that this game has very good destructible environment. A.I. : 8 on 10 Yes the a.i. is not that good. Our allies keep comin in our way. Enemy coming streight into the line of fire. BUT they are not horrible and still serve the purpose of providing good gameplay ( i played on HARD difficulty so others views may be differnt about A.I.) Mission Varity :- 10 on 10 We do have some difficult tasks to do in various beautiful levels. On one mession we are in Airfield and for another we had to go to farm. Cmon, i don't think anyone will say tat the mission were repeatative as GEARS OF WAR or PROTOTYPE. BOSSES:- 9 on 10. Bosses were really good and different. One strategy cannot be used with another boss. They were not only differet but also great fun as Serious Sam. SOUND : 10 on 10. I am yet to read any bad thing in this department, so i have nothing to say. ( i havnt played multiplayer so i cant comment on it!.) DONT BELIEVE CRITICS. So those gamers who have not yet played the game, plz go ahead and buy it. Its probably one of the top 5 fps realeased in this year.… Expand

The other Wolfenstein games focused on gameplay and graphics but lacked some sound quality, Eg, the sound of each weapon being fired or an explosion, But Raven and ID must have have concentrated on all aspects, and they did a good job. This is a great game and i think it is currently one of the best FPS games of the year. THIS GAME IS UNDERRATED! PLEASE BUY IT AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF!… Expand

I also like how the maps sort of meld together making it feel like you're in one big overall map. Thank you ID for putting together a fun game for us traditional FPS fans.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Моё знакомство с серией "Wolfenstein" уже точно не помню, либо с "Return to the Castle Wolfenstein" или все же
    Wolfenstein 2009, но это не суть важно, тогда я не придавал этому большое значение, шо там и там один герой, тогда для меня была на первом месте как самостоятельная игры, и скажу я вам, тогда и даже сейчас, проходил ее раза 4 наверно, так вот мне она до жути нравилась, графика, спецэффекты, сюжет (дада с стрелялке), смесь магии и технологий, вообщем техномагия какая то, 0 багов, не то что щас игры делают да?) Очень был огорчен что игры нельзя купить, поблагодарить разработчиков за колоссальный труд, след которого остался в моём сердце, отличной игры, надеюсь в этом году как пройдет объединение майков и близард, проблема с правами пропадут, сделают ремейк, ремастер (хотя я бы сказал он не нужен), ну или просто пустят в продажу!
    Собственно о самой игре, чем же она меня зацепила, как я писал выше, в нее просто напросто приятно играть, все интуитивно понятно, проходил недавно на высокой (самой) сложности, и как ветерану (3 прохождение за спиной на просто высокой), она заставила меня попотеть, на всех этапах игры! Когда то я магов боялася, прям не мог пройти уровень со спуском в бункер, (из сарая "фермы"), так как их щиты, хотя кого я обманываю, они еще дадут о себе знать на уровне "дирижабль", все еще из-за их щитов на всех союзниках, потом значит невидимки, страшно было, если они подошли в плотную считайте вы труп, спасает только режим "тени".
    Потом значит например пацан с лучевых оружием, страшный хрен, пуле не пробиваем, оружее жалит больно (врагов ваще расщепляет),а ГГ держится несколько секунд), с ним я всегда когда встречался, что то во мне сжималось, опять это пацан.
    Огнемётчик встречается редко, но жжёт знатно.
    Еще были какие то бабы, мелочь но приятно, если вы их встречали знаете о чем я)
    В локации "церковь", мы встречаемся со скелетоном, не приятный тип, особенно в локации с бабищей в какой то шаре, несколько десяткой ресетов, вам обеспечены, потом как найдете тактику будет полегче, и это приятно.
    Порой у меня складывается в впечатление что некоторых уровней не было на других сложностях, но это вряд ли, просто я уже их забыл, и стоят думал а что собственно делать, идти дальше?
    Эпогея всего этого безумия, это концовка с "Гасном Гроссе", как же я орал, хаха "БОЛЬНО!", да было действительно больно! (стадий боли там 3, готовтесь)
    Итог: хорошая игры которую, практически сразу убрали с продаж и ключи которой стоят 200к, жесть, и чем я люблю игры на самой высокой сложности, если они проходимы конечно же, тем что ты получаешь ВЕСЬ спектр эмоций, от ярости до радости, и говоришь: "ой я все, на этот раз точно)"

    I enjoyed this game a lot for my PC. The guns were all great and rewarded the player with satisfying kills. The sounds are done perfectly and create an intense environment in a heated battle. If you enjoy FPS games then you must give this game a play through, it's not revolutionary but it's still a very solid and entertaining shooter.

This game is a look back at how action packed first person shooters used to be, atmospheric, intense, hardcore, fun and not taking themselves too seriously. It seems if Half-life 1 was released today people would give it really bad reviews because they wouldn't find it 'groundbreaking' enough. This game has a beautiful engine that is not overcrowded, cumbersome and detrimental to gameplay. The game has a beautiful array of weapons, powers and Nazi's with a death wish. The enemies are fun to fight and the game itself is very immersive. Too many FPS games around these days cater for the console market and are dumbed down, this however is an example of a classic shooter that I will remember fondly, sadly I can't say the same for alot of the rubbish thats around today. In conclusion support the few people who still make games with the hardcore dedicated fans in mind and buy this game now!!! p.s. if you dont like first person shooters don't buy them and don't review them giving good games a bad score please.… 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.

    Wolfenstein is not a genre revolution but something I've been looking for since I finished Prey: a very good and atmospheric shooter, put together by a bunch of people how know how to do it. It runs even on low end systems but is looking good on high end systems. The multiplayer mode could have been a lot better but still Wolfenstein will give you a run for it's money.

One review states "Wolfenstein doesn't Revolutionize the genre..." (many reviews state similar things) Really? Is that what we really want? For each game ever released to sequentially revolutionize its genre? Is it not enough to just be a great game? a fun game (isn't that the reason we play, for fun)? Now every game is scrutinized unless it, in some way, reinvents the genre. Doesn't anyone else see this as an unrealistic expectation? Maybe its just me be I like the way FPS shooters are now. Why so much emphasis "revolutionizing"? Take a look at Fallout3. Sure it put a new twist on FPS combat... but it was awkward and sucked. It became trivial, involved zero skill, and was boring. Anyway, Wolfenstein did a great job of incorporating many different elements that make a good FPS work. AI and several other things may not be perfect, but in all it is a great game worth playing for the single player alone.… Expand

Then suddenly, holy crap. The game goes nuts. You get particle cannons. Tesla cannons. Flame throwers that shoot like 30m. Rocket launchers. And the dogs bollocks, the leichenfaust 44, which shoots a high energy wave of death at your foes with disintegrates them on contact.

    Then the enemies! You get Plasma warriors, (carry Particle Cannons). Flame Warriors, (carry Flammenwerfers - Flame Throwers). You get women with their **** showing who do like martial arts. You get women with green energy whips. you get demented possessed skeletons. and the Boss a hunk with two mini guns, (one in each hand).

    The graphics are alright but not as good as other games like dead space 2. It is a fairly old game now though, ( for PS3).

I regret missing this game when it was first released and have only just got around to playing it all the way through. The crazy comic book genre mash up concept of Wolfenstein is well realised with some very stylish and cool design throughout. The graphics are excellent overall and Raven have achieved a great atmosphere from good use of soft HDR lighting to embellish the period, special effects and superb sound. Special mention must go out to Bill Browns music which really contributes to Wolfensteins barn storming WW2 set pieces. There are some great action and suspense orchestral beats. As you would expect from ID and Raven the weapons are amazing. I never get tired of spinning up the particle gun and hosing down an entire platoon of Nazis. Animations are nice and the way enemies react to getting shot makes the combat very satisfying with the addition of special powers adding good variety and tactics. It has a more exploration driven game structure after the strictly linear Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Overall, this is an FSP I can highly recommend to anyone who loves the genre. I can't understand the mediocre reviews at all. Great stuff!… Expand

It play like a mixture between a traditional FPS and Deus Ex. What got worse, perhaps, is the level design: RTCW had amazing (single player) maps, and Wolfenstein only has "meh" maps so far.

    I have no idea why the same people that loved Return to Castle Wolfenstein don't like this game as much. In fact, I think I like Wolfenstein 2009 even a bit better. Here's why.

    **************************************************************************************************** First, play the game on 'hard' difficulty, please. Some people here complain the game is too easy, but on    I have no idea why the same people that loved Return to Castle Wolfenstein don't like this game as much. In fact, I think I like Wolfenstein 2009 even a bit better. Here's why.

    ****************************************************************************************************

    First, play the game on 'hard' difficulty, please. Some people here complain the game is too easy, but on 'hard', you'll have a challenge. The enemies act suprisingly smart: the human ones run for cover, the supernatural ones charge you, then retreat again. It all feels very natural. The best levels are, in my opinion, the late stages of the town Isenstad you discover. There's an area, where resistance fighters and Nazis battle for supremacy, around some castle entrance. Now, this is not a sandbox game, so the the dynamics are more or less predetermined, and the resistance never wins. But just walking into this scene looks marvelous, like a war movie, only with uber-engineered Nazi Super soldiers that looks like Battlemechs, and undead Nazi officers that radiate pure evil. This particular scene, I would often replay: walk into the area, join the fight, and once it's over, leave the area and re-enter, just to play it again (it changes a bit every time).

    ****************************************************************************************************

    There are two things I loved the most about this game. Number 1: it is relatively "non-linear", at least for an FPS. Not all areas are like the battle ground described above, some are more restrictive (only one way leads to the end), but in general, enemies emerge relatively naturally, so it doesn't feel too scripted, and how you defeat them is up to you: rushing into them, using all your powers to quickly overwhelm them, or cautiously kill them one by one. The game allows both playing styles, and I like that. ****************************************************************************************************

    Number 2: the biggest strength of this game for me is the design, both of the world and of the enemies. The enemies look, sound and behave fantastic. The standard soldiers are nothing new, sure, but the power armor super soldier, or the undead Nazi officers look stunning. Are you old enough to remember the original Doom? Do you remember how your heart skipped a beat when you entered a room and suddenly heard the familiar "clank, clank" sound, the sound that gave away cyber demon? That feeling is back, for several foes. Here's the most scary one: you run into an open area. Suddenly seeing some faint green or red glow in the distance. Now you only have a breathless second to think, oh **** before the undead reincarnation of an SS officer stands in front of you, streams of menacing energy emanating from his body, and he splits you in half. The visual design of the world is equally amazing, maybe the best level: a giant Nazi Zeppelin. It all has the visually powerful, expensive feel of an Indiana Jones or Hellboy movie. This combiation of Diesel Punk and Nazi Occultism is not new, other games and movies have done it before, but it is pulled off brilliant in this game, and, in my opinion, is even more satisfying than in RTCW. ****************************************************************************************************

    That said, the game is not perfect: it is a bit too short. Also, it is missing some really big levels, with a wide area of engagement, like RTCW had. Finally, if you play it on 'hard', it's challenging, but not consistently so: you yourself die very easily on 'hard' difficulty (any attack of a stronger enemy kills you, which is good). But with the right "crystal powers" (slowing time, overcharging your attack, shield), even the strongest (non boss) enemy dies very quickly as well. I would have preferred if some extra strong enemies would have had more health, and it would take you a long time before you can destroy them. The way it is now, if you react fast, activate the right powers, you kill any enemy in a few seconds. If you make a mistake, you die. But there are no (non-boss) enemies that "put up a fight", i.e. that you have to work on for a minute before they go down. That makes the game play a bit too shallow sometimes.

    ****************************************************************************************************

    Summary: A great game, every bit as good as Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The "crystal powers" (like slowing time) work very well, the game is challening if played on 'hard', but the best part is the visual design of the world and the enemies: it feels just viscerally satisfying to fight those beautifully designed power-armor Nazis or the glowing undead officers that I can forgive the minor game play problems.    … Expand

    I don't know why everyone **** all over this game. I just played through the campaign in preparation for 'The New Order', and I quite enjoyed it.

    The story was fine, albeit a bit weird (but it worked). The mechanics were solid: I liked the addition of the veil powers; they added flavor and complexity, separating the game from other mindless entries in the fps genre.

I also really liked the addition of the black market/ upgrade system. Hidden treasure has always been a big part of the series and in this game we actually had something to do with the loot we spend so much time trying to find, really cool.

    So yea, if you like Wolfenstein you should check this game out.    … Expand

    This is is a very good game. I love ripping the enemies apart, but I hate the multiplayer. Still, quite enjoyable, especially with the Leichenfaust 44, the anti-gravity-one-shotting-rocket gun.

    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]
