5.0 out of 5 stars Return to Castle Wolfenstein = Return to Greatness, June 4, 2003

This review is from: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection (Video Game)

Finally, a game worth the [money] plus the ridiculous
California state tax. It seems that nowadays, the more
hype the video game gets, the more it comes up short. I
haven't seen any advertisement for this product. I just
remember when it came out for the PC and it was fun
and addictive. Well, the saga continues.

I've played through the first four levels with little
gripes. I love that you can save anywhere. Every
shooter game should have this feature. The graphics
are excellent as well as the control setup; didn't
have to change it at all as it is similiar to most
other shooter games I own. I only wish the enemy spoke
German instead of American in a German accent like
in the Medal of Honor series. If the rest of the game
plays similar to the first four levels, this game is a
gem. Buy it if you like shooter games. Never, ever,
buy No One Lives Forever. That game will always [stink]!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible WW II based game, January 14, 2004

I originally chose not to pick up this game because I figured it was more horror/scifi based than shooter. I was absolutely wrong. This game is great if you like shooter type games especially the Medal of Honor series.
Your mission is to infultrate Castle Wolfenstein and stop the Nazis from unleashing their paranormal plans and win WW II.
Graphically the game is very good, not awesome, but pretty good.
The best part of the game is that counting each part of every mission, there are approximately 39 missions to do. Most missions are just straight shooter with objectives to accomplish, and secrets that you're able to discover in order to get points to upgrade your amount of health or ammunition at the end of each mission. A few of the missions however, you must complete in as much silence and stealth as possible. So, fans of games like Splinter Cell will also find things they like about this game.
The weapons you're given range from real life machine guns, shotguns, flamethrowers and handguns to fictional weapons. The AI is decently intelligent, they don't just stand there and let you kill them if they see you or you miss while trying to take them out from behind.
The controls are also great. They're like most shooter games like SOCOM II and are easy to learn and remember. The only drawback to the controls is that there's no option to go prone to avoid getting shot at and you can't jump and hang on a ledge or do things like rappel.
The blood and gore are very realistic, so as its raiting would suggest, this isn't for little kids or the squemish.
One other drawback to this game is the fact that it's linear. There's only one way to go in order to complete a mission, you can't simply go around enemies, you have to get past them.
Overall, this game is a lot of fun if you like shooting up Nazis and like some science fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done!, December 4, 2003

This review is from: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection (Video Game)

This is a very well done game. However, if you were a fan of the original Castle Wolfenstein games, you may not be expecting what this game really is.

First, this game plays almost identically to Medal Of Honor, Red Faction and the like. Except, with this game there are less enemies and you actually have to peek around corners and USE YOUR BRAIN to get through the levels.

The game also offers the ability to upgrade your character by using a point system. For example, you can boost your health and other options are available. Finding hidden treasures and secret areas produce more points.

Just like Medal Of Honor Rising Sun, if you are looking for a melee type mass destuction game, this may not be the title for you. If you are looking for thousands of alien mutants to blow up while they stand still for you, buy another game!

While you can always sneak up on your enemies and kill them from behind with a knife, there are plenty of weapons to keep you happy!

I enjoyed the sniper rifle and the ability to use binoculars to see what I was running into before I ran into it!

Here's how I would rate the game:

Graphics 7/10
Sound 7/10
Gameplay 10/10
Replay Value 10/10
Quality 10/10

Overall, I think I would give this 9/10.

A solid game, good levels, good selection of weapons, I think it is Well Done!
