Well "Wolfenstein" is back in a full 1st Person Shoot-em up Stlye with a Secret Thule Society, Powerful Medallions and B.J Blaskowicz hot on the Trail. Not a bad game so far if you like the "Call of Duty" Series of Games. The Uniforms are fantasy, but I check out every WW2 Video Game.

Good to know. I was going to pick it up for the 360, but the $60 price is hard to swallow. Maybe I'll wait for eBay or a GameStop used copy. -
the last one on the pc was great, ill get this further down the line when its cheap. the zombie monster fun looks great.
2 games i will defiantly buy are cod5 & Operation Flashpoint 2
Operation Flashpoint 2~

Hmm, I'm a 'fan' of Wolf since 3D, but this time I'll stick to Red Orchestra...Comment

Wait!
I should have done the same! I have just bought this game for the PC and paid full priceOriginally posted by J-W.Bode View Post
In my opinion before buying it I would urge you to seek out a demo, try it at a mates house or wait for it to come down in price.
I have yet to play multi-player so my comments are limited to single player mode. I was expecting a next generation RTCW but what I got was a simplistic console game (and I don't mean that dis-respectively) that has not added much to the FPS genre.
There are some nice levels (I won't go into details and spoil them) but how you get to them via a "town" with re-spawning enemies (I hate re-spawning enemies!) on the way to and then on the way back from missions is very frustrating and adds nothing to the game. Scattered around each level is "intel" (which is another way of saying stuff that could have been in the manual) and "gold" which you use to buy upgrades to your weapons via a black market shop (yawn!) .
There are some nice touches, like the way you see your hits register on the enemies and the OTT faux german accents, one of which sounds like Herr Flick from 'Allo 'Allo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!) (if deliberate then
if not then 
)
If this game had come out in 2001\2002 then it would have had an impact but in 2009?
I'd be interested to hear what others who have played the game think.
Cheers

It was the old Wolf #D that pratically forced me to buy my first home PC...
A lot of fun back then!

The multi player on 360 is crap, the stand alone is just a standard shooter, i think it was a quick buck off the Wolfenstein name, Iam really disappointed with it.Originally posted by IanC View PostI should have done the same! I have just bought this game for the PC and paid full price

Its a real letdown,,my favorite was RTCW on PC, if you want some real Wolfenstein action download enemy territory FOR FREE on the net, its more addictive then youporn for sure Doc.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostIam Uncle Sam
