Wolfenstein3D is, is hands down, awsome! The graphics are pixilized up close and far away, but what do you expect from a handheld virson of an early 90's fps.

There are only 4 weapons but they are awsome. It's a little gory, buts that's one of the best things about this game. All in all this game is one of the best I've played(Along with Ecks Vs. Sever). I recomend this game to older kids about 10 and up but parents probably won't let younger kids buy this because ok racial swasticas and gore.

Well first of all I had to go to Electronics B. to get this game.. I just had to have it and it seems that EB has ESP because they seemed to know I had to have it too and charged 42.99 for it.. Wow for a GBA game.. Is that legal? Ok to the game.. The graphics if you ask me are exactly the same as the original.. maybe a little (little better).. hmm no background music although I can't think if the original had it or not.. As for customization ; brightness and turning speed can be controlled. Lets face it .. it seems the GBA was not cut out to do this kind of stuff although this is the best I have seen so far.. Doom in my opinion really was done horribly if I was playing that in a moving vehicle with those poor graphics and controls i would be sure to vomit. With wolf well you can't possible mess it up I mean it has what? 4 colors 5 sounds maybe .
My final thoughts of this are that if you want a 3d game like wolf doom duke.. This is the best one for the game boy by far.. Really fun to play..

Don't get me wrong, Wolfenstein 3-D is an all time classic that inspired every first person shooter ever made, and now that its on the GBA, old school gamers will finally get to enjoy the game on the go. However, while this is a nearly exact port of the PC original, that is both good and bad. First off, the frame rate is rather sluggish. When there is a lot of on screen action, the framerate becomes slow and choppy, the same problem the Super Nintendo version of the game had years ago. Second of all, Wolfenstein 3-D will go vastly unappreciated by younger gamers more used to the Quake series or Half-Life. However, there are a lot of good qualities: the Nazi schwastikas are left intact from the original (which is probably why the game is really rated mature because there isn't much blood at all), and the small amounts of blood are kept red, not a different color as in the GBA version of Doom. All in all, the GBA version of Wolfenstein 3-D isn't bad at all, but with other first person shooters for the GBA like Doom, Eecks VS Sever, and the upcoming Duke Nukem 3-D and Medal of Honor, you should hold on to your money unless you really love this game.

I grew up on this game in the early 90's...I can't believe it was implemented so well on the GBA platform. Everything is just like the original, although the graphics seem a bit better (!) This is absolutely the best 1st person shooter for GBA, definitely a "must have".

Wolfenstein 3D was probably the first game to fall in the genre of "First Person Shooter" and by far one of the best. Of course, it's not a good as the original PC game, but it's exactly the same other than the fact that there's no music. But who cares because it's PORTABLE!! Now you can kill Nazis anywhere you go! Also, always remember to check the walls for secrets!

This is, as you can probably fathom, a port of ID Software's 1992 classic Wolfenstein 3D, scaled down and put into cartridge format for play on your Gameboy Advance.

First off, I want to say that the studio who ported it did a pretty good job overall. The graphics aren't as clean as they were on my IBM 386 back in the day, but I can forgive that kind of thing because the game feels the same. You move at the same rate, shooting feels the same, the only thing missing as far as gameplay goes is a keyboard.

The levels are faithfully reproduced- every secret door is where I remember it was, which is always kind of fun for those looking back with nostalgia. It contains all 6 original episodes (although you'd think that, barring some sort of legal entanglement they could have included its sequel Spear of Destiny).

There are two central problems with this port which are the main reasons I can't rate it higher. First, you can't save your game wherever you'd like (which you could do in the original). You can only save at the beginning and end of levels. Nothing sucks more than to make it almost to the elevator when an SS guy comes out of nowhere and guns your last 10% of health away. My other problem is the game's lack of music. Hey, what gives? The original had some classic MIDI tuneage courtesy of Bobby Prince, who also scored the Commander Keen games, DOOM, and Duke Nukem 3D. It's just not the same. Ever tried watching Star Wars wthout the music? It's like there's a key element missing.

A good port, but incomplete without music and frustrating without a save-on-the-fly feature.

I have found the game to be quite challenging and involved. It appears to have a random action generator as I find the number and types of opponents varies, along with the damage you incur during the game, so if you don't succeed, try again as many times as it takes, eventually you get the hang of it. I think a game guide would be a very useful accessory for this game but I have been unable to locate one, at least so far. A game guide would be particularly good for the higher level on the last couple of missions. Frequent saves are a must with this game. Overall a great game that will keep you involved for hours. Probably not one you want to give the younger members of the family.

This is a 3D shooter classic, which many old Wolfenstein 3D fans may cherish. However, after playing Duke Nukem Advance and Doom II Advance, this game doesn't quite stack up. It is not a bad product at all, but it's just not as fun. The best games for GBA that I've found so far are the Mario Bros series, the Metroid series, Doom (I and II), Duke Nukem, Super Street Fighter II, Max Payne, and Tekken Advance. I don't want to buy every game for the GBA, and I suggest you don't either. I carefully read reviews and attempt to purchase only the best. Wolfenstein 3D is a good game, but not like the others mentioned; in my opinion it is not a must-have.

This Game is a good game for adults. It is rated M for mature because of animated blood and violence. The graphics are pretty good for a handheld, but could be improved. It takes paitence to beat this game because it has a whole lot of levels. It is good for long trips. However, it does get boring if you are stuck on one level. That is why they have cheat codes!:) It also gets kind of boring because all you do is walk around and shoot. There are no missions or anything like that. All you have to do is find keys and exit through elevators. (allthough finding the elevators and keys is the hardest part of the game) You are also forced to battle bosses like creations of Hitler, killer dogs, and Hitler himself. If you like a challenging game that you can't beat in two days, buy Wolenstein 3D. I hope this reveiw was helpful to you.

System and features 32-bit quality unlike the old pc version, and features a world of 3-D environments with fun fps gameplay and super fast 3-D graphics with ok sound....
