    The addition of some sort of tie-in to the new game is nice to see too, for those of you that plan on picking it up. There's a lot of content in the game too, and for the price you're paying, I'd say it's certainly worth checking out, even for long time fans that have already played the game to death.

    Wolfenstein 3-D remains fun after all these years. If you've never played it, download immediately and see what spawned the first-person shooter genre.

    Wolfenstein 3D is not a first person shooter, it's The First Person Shooter.

    It is offensive, violent, archaic, complicated, bland, and repetitive. If you can appreciate its retro qualities, however, $5 is a good price!

    Feels rather tired nowadays. Great price, though. [Issue#181, p.89]

    This is still one of those timeless classics you can enjoy over and over again. It’s just a very simple shooter that takes you back, if you played it back in the day that is.

    its kinda hard to score wolfenstien 3d mainly because its a 20 year old game that started the FPS series and in that 20 years there have beenits kinda hard to score wolfenstien 3d mainly because its a 20 year old game that started the FPS series and in that 20 years there have been so many vast improvements to theese types of games. also its not a game i think i could ever recomend to any one who has never played it from back in the day. its a game most are gona play for nostalga and its still kinda fun . basically you just some guy who escapes from a nazi prison and go on a shooting rampage killing nazi's . as for a plot ... what plot you kill nazi's . games back then didnt really have plots unless it was a RPG even then they where only just starting to get them. wolfenstien has one other element besides shooting nazi's its very very very mazey. majority of your time will just be spent trying to figure out where the keys and exit is to advance. you have to give wolfenstien its credit with out this game the fps market wouldnt be around . also its nice to play this on a console with a controller if your not a big PC gaming person like myself.so for $5 its not much to take a trip down memory lane.… Expand

This was the game and franchise that made killing Nazi's cool! I loved the boss battles and the Death Cam they had. The secrets are a great addition by themselves, but I'm just not a huge fan of giant mazes and some levels where the secrets are needed to complete a floor. I mean for those that aren't obvious. It gets annoying when you're forcing this game mechanic to get me to touch every wall to find a key. Would have liked it more had this always been optional. Like the bonus floors for example. Either way it's a great game and a must play for people who love old school shooters.… Expand
