Fascinating atmosphere in a surrealistic environment!

This game has surprised me even with the already high expectations I had before seeing it. The story is a little bit obscure, yet the level-design and the 3D-engine is really great. What I liked most about this game is the atmosphere, which makes me duck when suddenly a foe appears even sitting only in front of the screen. Surely it's only enjoyable for machines with a good 3D-performance. It has the same engine as Quake3 Arena, but especially in open-air areas it takes more resources than Q3A. I recommend to use a 3D-Audio system like EAX with 4 speakers or even better a dolby-surround sound with this game.

It was good.........

I must say this was a really good game: interesting plot, medium playing time, and so on and so forth. But seriously it coped out at the end. The boss was WAY too easy, I mean come on!

You get your money's worth

It may not be what some expect, as far as an accurate simulator of WW II combat but the game still is lots of fun. Great atmosphere and the multiplayer game is most entertaining. I've spent way too many nights staying up way too late trying one more time to come out on-top. The weapons are great and the different roles, medic, engineer, etc provide different chanllenges.

Lacks "oomph!"

Return to Castle Wolfenstein (RTCW) was something I'd been looking forward to for a long time. I ran out and bought a copy the first day of release. If I'd known what a vanilla gameplay experience I was in for, I would've waited for the price to go down! (I paid [money] for the tin edition). The graphics, sound and music are all first rate. However, I'm past the point of "Find key, shoot bad guy, go to next level", I expect a little more from my games nowadays and RTCW did not deliver with its single player experience.

Multiplayer, however, is a different story altogether. If you have a fat pipe connecting you to the internet (or go to LAN parties a lot) - RTCW is definitly worth a look.

This game is certainly more advanced and scary!

Return to castle wofenstien single players takes you through
scary and dangerous quake 3 arena powered graphics engine,
along with high quality audio, and entertaining music soundtracks! You bust out of jail, you kill Nazis, you kill
a doctor, you fight huge robot machines, and end up in deep
slaughter scary zombie dungeons, and must collect imperative
information along the way and survive, and kill things(did I
just say that?)Besides the point, the good thing is this is
powered by the quake 3 arena engine, so NO SOFTWARE RENDERING
SUPPORT, YEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH! I have to be frank, I hate it! It decreases the fun of the game, the graphics,
look chunky and are not the visual effect type support that
opengl/direct3d would offer!But I like opengl the best!Besides the point, if you enjoyed the last one(Which I did) YOUll go crazy on this one!

Wonderful gaming experience

The thing that sets "Return To Castle Wolfenstein" apart from so many other games on the market is its atmosphere. Few other games bring you into the screen like this one. A few that I can remember are "Half-Life", "Thief 2", "MaxPayne", "Alien vs Predator 2" and "System Shock 2". The graphics are as advanced and beautiful as any other product currently on the market. You better have a fast processor, 256 megs of RAM and a GeForce level graphics card though. If you do, you will be treated to an unmatched visual experience. Aside from the visuals, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is fun to play. With tough enemies and engulfing settings, I would swear that I was in 1940's Germany. My only complaint is that it was to short. With the available multiplayer mode, your money still goes a long way. This game does not compete with Unreal tournament or Quake 3 in multiplayer. But, if you're looking for an awesome single player experience, look no further.

Pretty Good, BUT THE PRICE??!!

RTCW is not another "Max Payne"..This is the most EXPENSIVE first person shooter that has come out since...Medal of Honor..Sheesh! The game has a decent amount of levels, the cut scenes are pretty good but is that really worth all that $$$$. The actual gameplay is nothing new. I would give this game a higher rating but Serious Sam has graphics that are just as good, gameplay that is similar and is MUCH cheaper. But you ask "Well, you must have paid $$$ for it like everyone else". NOPE, I bought a used copy (its a CD, remember?) for 1/5 the price, that is what you should pay for this game.

the game that keeps giving!

This is the best computer game I have ever played.

The best the best the best.

I owned Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Sum of all Fears, Ghost Recon, and the various rainbow six games but I got rid of ALL of them.

With Return to Castle Wolfenstein I dont need to play any other games. This...rocks yo!!!

Excellent multi player game

This is a great multi player game you can kill all of your friends. Single player mode is alright but the story could have been a little better, other than that this game is incredible for the PC. Mainly the graphics if you have at least a 16 bit graphics card and enough ram at least 128 perferably more this game looks awesome, and is awesome. Buy it!!
