Rating: Summary: don't buy this game Review: What are the most popular (and overused) enemies in video games?1. zombies 2. nazis This game gives us both. I wish that a game would try to give us some original enemies instead of constantly going back to the old zombies and nazis. Ok, I know its a WWII game but they should have just left out the zombies. They didn't really seem to fit well in the game anyway. Problems: 1. I had a problem with the sound during the opening movie sequence of the game. The sound would always break up during this part and I would end up with no sound for the rest of this movie sequence. But then the sound would be back to normal for the regular game. This was just annoying because I didn't know what they were saying during this opening movie. 2. I had heard that the flamethrower was one of the best parts of this game, but I think it [is not good]. I would have to shoot it for a couple of seconds at a guy before he would die, and by the time he did I would have gotten so shot up by him that I would have no health left. It was just too slow. Also, it ran out too fast. And, in the instruction manual it says that the flamethrower works great against zombies, but I never remember even having a flamethrower during the zombie parts. 3. The most annoying part of the game was an attack that the game designers gave to the final boss and also boss1. These bosses would spit ghosts at you, and when these ghosts would hit you, you would not only take alot of damage but you would also not be able to see for a second or two. And, once you were able to see you would almost immediately be hit by another flying ghost and lose sight again. Anytime that I was fighting either of these bosses and I was hit by these flying ghosts (which was most of the time) I would have a few seconds of my vision going in and out and then I was quickly dead. This was the most annoying attack that I have ever seen in any game. When your vision would go out it was nearly impossible to hit the enemy or to try to find cover. And, there would be so many flying ghosts hitting you that after the first one hit it was almost impossible to recover without having to reload your game. I thought that this attack was really disorienting and just frustrating because it didn't even give you an opportunity to retaliate. 4. I thought that the difficulty of the game was too high. What is the point of letting a person chose a difficulty setting if the lowest setting is impossibly difficult? I was playing the game on the lowest difficulty setting and I found it to be absolutely impossible to win the game on even this lowest difficulty. Fighting the nazis was OK and I thought the zombies were challenging but not unbeatable. The first boss was very difficult but not impossible. The problems really started when I got to the x-creatures. The first x-creatures with no legs were unbelievably tough. The instant one saw me it would jump at me at kill me in about 2 seconds even if I had full health and full armor. Even if I blasted the hell out of it with some of my heaviest weapons it seemed to not kill it. I don't get why they made these creatures so much stronger than the nazis. It just doesn't make sense. When I got to the level with the supersoldiers I had to use an invincibility cheat to continue with the rest of the game. I never would have been able to beat the rest of the game against these unstoppable enemies. The game designers made these creatures attacks much too strong. (I was getting killed in 1 second.) They were also too hard to kill. So this is another complaint that I have about the game. I also had a glitch where some of the time when a grenade or a rocket exploded, I would see a lot of numbers or letters in the explosion. I don't know if everyone had this problem. This was just a small thing that didn't bother me like the other things that I have written about above. So, I would say not to buy this game since it is impossible to beat without using cheat codes. I thought this game was going to be a lot better than it was. There has to be better games out there to buy rather than this one.
Rating: Summary: A Great Package for A Great Game Review: While this game may have it's shortcomings in single player (even the hardest difficulty provides little challenged for moderately experienced FPS fans), the multiplayer portion RTCW compensates for that. Multiplay is excellent to say the least, and I really feel this game still stands tall against such titles as Quake3 and Unreal Tournament 2003. A nice bonus to this "game of the year" edition is that it's packaged with a copy of the original wolfenstein game from the early 90s. It's amazing if for no other reason to visit this oldie simply to see how far the industry's come. Overall, this is a great game with good models and animation, compelling sound and music, and addictive multiplayer action. Definetely worth a shot if you're a fan of the original.
Rating: Summary: Wolfenstein Kills Review: Wolfenstein is THE best multiplayer game EVER. The single player is challenging too (provided you don't cheat). ... It's best if you listen to Rammstein while you play.
