Were you expecting "History on Film" with Ann Medina? [Posted on 2003-10-20]
Well, where to begin? This game was overwhelmingly satisfying in every way imagineable. My friend showed me it earlier this year, and it still hasn't lost any of its edge!

I loved the overall story with the Himler and the SS, HeinrichI, undead, etc. I've always been a sucker for the whole Nazi/occult thing, and this was no exception.

The music was also top-notch. I've caught myself absently humming it during the day, and stop abruptly since everyone is staring at me. The catacomb score was downright eerie, perfect for that particuar gameplay. The piece from the opening cutscene was so good I restarted the game several times just to hear it!

I thought the variation in levels was pretty good, my favourites being the Castle and the village levels. The assortment of bad guyswas decent, too. Overhearing the horrified officers(you know the ones), the angry mechanics, (them, too), and all the others was both interesting and amusing. Severalpeople have been complaining in these reviews about how the levels are kind of dark, but that's to be expected. It's wartime Europe, people, not a commercial for Lemon Tide!

The choices of weapons were varied- something for everyone!TIP:Ignore the flamethrower, it's prety much useless. I preferred the Thompson and double .45s(sigh) but it was a shame that they came with limited ammo. Oh, well.

I wanted to really say something clearly to all the people I've read who claim this has nothing to do with WWII and the zombie thing is overdone:
For the love of God, open your eyes! This is a COMPUTER GAME, not fact! F-I-C-T-I-O_N! What did you think was going to happen, you'd singlehandedly win the Battle of the Bulge?! Meet Hitler?! Try to kill him?! NO! This is a game, manufactured for the purpose to entertain for a price. And so what if Nazis once again intermingle with the supernatural? It works. It's entertaining. Period.

People have also been whining about the toughness of the game. I admit that I can't beat it on "Bring 'em on", but at least I didn't have to use cheat codes for "Don't Hurt Me". I managed to beat RTCW in a little under a week, and people (who are clearly exaggerating) claim to be still stuck on Level 2. Two. Ten second of life? Please, stop embarrassing yourself. Or just stop lying.

I think I've said my bit on Return to Castle Wolfenstein. In my humble opinion, I say buy it, play it, and play it again.

One of the best games out there [Posted on 2003-12-14]
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is probably one of the best games to ever come out on PC. Its single-player is excellent. Who doesnt like killing zombies and nazis?(If you dont then you have some serious problems :P)The only problem with the single-player is the enemy AI. Even on the hardest setting "Im a death incarnate" the game is still too easy. The enemies act the same on every difficulty just about. Oh well. Still fun!

But the best fun is when you take this game for a spin ONLINE! This is one of the best team games I have ever played in my life. When you play RTCW online TEAMWORK IS A MUST! You WILL NOT survive without teamwork. You have 4 classes to pick from, Soldier, Engineer, Medic, and Lieutenant. Soldiers get to use heavy weapons like Panzerfausts(rocket launcher)and Flamethrowers. Engineers get to plant dynamite and repair various items. Medics get to give out medpacks and revive soldiers who are down but not dead. Lieutenants get to give out ammo and call in airstrikes and artillery strikes.

Whatever class you pick, you will need to rely on another class to survive and win the match. Thats the way the game works online.

Also RTCW has some great maps too like Beach Invasion, and Destruction. Even HUGE maps like Depot and Tram(my god these maps are huge).

Overall extremely fun game! You cant say your a FPS fan until you have picked up this game.

Happy Nazi & Zombie killings :)

Best FPS ever? [Posted on 2005-06-17]
Well, for a game that's several years old, in a genre where it takes the average game 1 month to be old news and another to be almost forgotten, this is still one of the most overwhelmingly immersive games out there. In another review, I gave my highest praise to FarCry, and indeed, on the technological side, FarCry has RtCW beat, with more details, dynamic shadow rendering, and rag-doll physics. Nevertheless, the music, the environment, the enemies in RtCW, are all so gripping and immersive, you'll never notice! The original Wolfenstein was great; this one is fantastic. The story is probably the best in any sci-fi FPS I've ever played.

I can't offer high enough praise for this game. It certainly vies for my "best FPS ever", depending on what one is looking for in a game. The most modern physics and technology isn't found in RtCW, but the best, creepiest, most immersive environments certainly are. The music is fantastic, the soundbytes are fantastic, the levels are well-constructed and varied, the game offers the player some instances of run & gun, some of the most careful stealth (you have to manage to stay JUST outside the detection threshhold of some enemies with very keen eyesigh), and everything in between. The gameplay is brilliant, never repetitive, and well-balanced.

The multiplayer component is also fantastic, with a great community of public servers, clans and tournaments still alive and kicking after all these years.

This is a terrific game, well worth any FPS gamer's time and money! Enjoy!

Awsome [Posted on 2007-06-26]
Felt like I was in the 3rd Reich! Awsome game with chilling sounds and cool graphics.

Very Well Developed Game... [Posted on 2008-01-19]
I have the black box with the red emblum on it version of this game. This game is one of my favorites, besides Medal of Honor series and Call of Duty. This is just a different kind of good game. If I was movie director, I would pick up on this title and make a movie out of this one. It would probably break box office records at the theaters, hehe. Anyways a good game, the only small thing I didn't like is all the zombie stuff, and the ending was alittle bit to outragious. Other than that, great game it was.
