    Graphics are absolute rubbish. Gameplay is both old and frustrating (run, shoot, stop to pick up ammo, run, stop to pick up ammo, shoot, stop to pick up armour *yawn*) the cut-scenes are intrusive or overly long (get up make coffee wait for action to start again) and the AI is both dumb and glitchy.

    Worst of all it's just boring. I gave up half way through to watch a Tom Cruise movie -    Graphics are absolute rubbish.

    do you call that a ps3 quality game??? Well i call that **** . to start with, the graphics are so poor that i reminds me of a ps2 game if not ps1. then coming to the environment , yuck man!!! glaring issues and very poor textures. as for the gamplay it seems ok. except that it is no longer fun playing a purposely dumped game on our beloved ps3. thanks

    I have many reviews, have played many games, and am not a hater; check my other reviews. That being said, this game is awful. The worst I have ever played. Worse even than Risen or Two Worlds I. Simply can't believe it. After all the glowing reviews I was shocked that basically this game is broken on the PS3. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY; not worth a rental, really.

    the graphics/textures and rendering are abysmal. this looks like a PS2 or even PS1 game. no joke. hard to believe that bethesda stamped their name on this thing. the cut-scenes are abrupt and the animations are choppy...and you can't hear what the characters say most of the time because the sound-mixing is atrocious. glitches galore. examples include: enemies getting stuck and running inthe graphics/textures and rendering are abysmal. this looks like a PS2 or even PS1 game. no joke. hard to believe that bethesda stamped their name on this thing. the cut-scenes are abrupt and the animations are choppy...and you can't hear what the characters say most of the time because the sound-mixing is atrocious. glitches galore. examples include: enemies getting stuck and running in place, you getting stuck and having to reset, and even weapons getting stuck in walls. also, it auto-saves constantly...which is fine, except it shows a huge, bright white circle spinning on your screen for long periods of time every couple minutes...it's distracting.

    you will be so disappointed in this game if you get it. you'll want to buy it, because it's wolfenstein, and bethesda had a hand in its making...but i assure you, you will regret your decision if you purchase this. you will feel ripped off.

    don't look at the writer reviews on IGN or Gamespot, etc., or look at the nice screen shots they show....they're only for the PS4/PC version. The PS3 version is garbage. It's almost like they want you to buy a PS4 to get a PS3 experience, by making the PS3 version look like PS2 or PS1.

    If you read my review, and still purchase this game, I promise you...these words will haunt you.    … Expand

    Looks atrocious on PS3. Even on next-gen from the youtube videos. Textures are muddy. I rented it from redbox luckily. Astounding they charge 60USD for this game. Right away during the crash on the beach there was a bug where fog covered the entire viewing area of the beach. Didn't know what I was shooting at. After I was KIA, then it went back to normal.

Right away during the crash on the beach there was a bug where fog covered the entire viewing area of the beach. Didn't know what I was shooting at. After I was KIA, then it went back to normal. Even then there were glitches abound such as guns twitching in enemies hands and cut scenes stopping early. As for the game itself it's nothing original. I love the previous Wolfenstein games but this one is just over the top, dumb violence like Inglorious Bastards (which we all know was used as a reference during development) with no real substance. Lame brain hero who sounds like another Bale Batman. I guess people still like meat head games where not much thinking is involved. Some of the designs of the enemies were good but the level design was worse then Rage. Heck I enjoyed Rage much more than this dud. Amazed Bethesda took on such a project. Worth a rental I guess if your too bored to go outside, read a book or wash dishes.… Expand

    Графика убогая, просто п&@дец! В плане геймплея всё более чем хорошо, но графика просто убогая, КАК, КАК ОНИ МОГЛИ ТАКОЕ ВЫПУСТИТЬ? Такое ощущение, что они даже не играли в этот порт.

    Absolutely terrible. I'm sure there is a good game buried in this blurry mess but I've absolutely reached the end of my tether with it. The PS3 PORT is completely rushed. The texture pop-ins could be ignored if they eventually rendered things in any detail but they don't at all. This was clearly designed for next-gen and this shoddy port is merely a cash-grab.

Really couldn't recommend this to anybody. If you're stuck with last gen's consoles but have a halfway decent PC go for the PC version. Appalling stuff, it really is. I only have myself to blame for not reading up on the PS3 version... I only give it a 3 on account of the decent gunplay and varied levels.… Expand

    Wolfenstein: The New Order feels like a game which really shouldn’t work. It transplants the feeling of a ’90s first person shooter into 2014; yet also has enough sense to mix in elements of modern game design to ensure it doesn’t feel antiquated. It is an action game which is fully functional as a stealth game. Its narrative is equal measures serious and ludicrous. Its lead character is a superman who feels vulnerable.

    The game exults in tomato-can headshots and arms blasted into gristle. Bits pop off bodies with enthusiasm, like giant fingers had flicked them at a wall. And as foes turn to wet paper, Blazkowicz remains a rock.

    Its mechanics are shallow, its gunplay is simple, and its story is something out of World War II obsessive’s wet dream. However, the things it gets right it does really well. The stealth is handled perfectly, the inventory and character progression are really well done, and the combination of regenerating health and pickups is actually something I wouldn’t mind seeing in future shooters.
