I inhaled a breath of fresh air when I logged on to my first game of Castle Wolfestein. Mind Blowing Graphics, Gameplay to die for, and a limitless future of multiplayer mayhem. Ive played them all! Unreal Tournament, DOD, Quake III, and CounterStrike are about to be overtaken by one hell of a game that combines the strategy , graphics , and tactics of all three with new and improved realism using an enhanced version of the Quake III engine. Download the Demo, and run to the store on November 28th cuz this one rocks!!!!!!!

There are many great reviews for this game on Amazon already, so I'll skip straight to where I differ from many of them. Most of the negative comments I've read center around the game being too much like Quake 2, Doom, etc; especially the monsters. Let's address this concern with a few simple points. Since those are also Id games, they will of course have a similar feel. This is a sequel to Wolfenstein 3D, which I realize may be a little too old-school for some gamers. If this little beauty never crossed your 3.5" floppy drive, trust me; there were plenty of MONSTERS and BOSSES in Wolf3D in addition to regular old goose-stepping Nazis. If you're looking for a realistic representation of the WWII experience, you're definitely looking for love in all the wrong places (Check out Medal of Honor). What this game does do is a fantastic job of carrying forward the over-the-top atmosphere of the original Wolfenstein. A true spiritual successor to a gaming legacy like Wolfenstein pulled off so nicely will win me over every time.
One of my favorite games!

I normally don't play shooters but this game is very addictive! The graphics are good and the game play flows! You can waste many many hours on it.
The weapons are well thought out as you don't get enough of anything to make you unbeatable. There is something for everyone to like! My favorite is the paratrooper rifle and the sniper rifle.
The final fight was tough!
However, I did not see much difference between the medium level and the tough level.
All and all, you can't go wrong with this one!
One of the best WWII first-person shooters ever

The first time I came in contact with RTCW was when some friends of mine and I played the Beach multiplayer demo at a LAN gathering. Basically, everyone who played it went through a religious realization of how great the multiplayer experience was, and we all looked forward to the official release.
I was certainly not let down at all. Although the Beach was still by far the best multiplayer map in the game (and easily one of the best multiplayer maps of all time), the others were still excellent. The ways in which all the various classes of players could collaborate made the game team-orientated in a very original way. Although the engineer was the only completely necessary class in most cases to win a match, having an even distribution of players using all the classes made for a much easier time in achieving the objectives. For instance on the beach map, the Allies needed to retrieve some documents inside Castle Wolfenstein. In order to get inside the castle, engineers were required to plant dynamite and blow the castle walls (Axis engineers could diffuse the dynamite). Medics keep the engineers and other players alive to carry out the task, lieutenants feed everyone ammunition and throw airstrikes to eliminate the opposing threats, and soldiers employ a panzerfaust, mauser sniper rifle, venom (handheld gattling gun), or flamethrower to provide additional protection. Though RTCW was not the first game to invent player classes, it employed these classes in new ways that provided for fantastic gameplay.
Also, the single-player campaign was excellent and I still consider it one of the best of all the games I've ever played. I thought the storyline was pretty cool, and enjoyed how the writers weaved together fact and fiction concerning WWII and Himmler's work in the paranormal. The main character is BJ Blazkowicz, a captured US soldier who escapes from Castle Wolfenstein and encounters both Nazi enemies and undead demons in an effort to thwart the Germans and win the war for the Allies. In addition to the weapons listed in the multiplayer description, the game also features such weapons as the Thompson, MP40, Colt, Lugar, pinapple grenades, and potato mashers. My favorite single-player experience is a level later on in the game when Blazkowicz is required to sneak throughout a German village and eliminate eight important generals. The village is armed with an alarm system and if an enemy spots him, they can pull the alarm and the level resets. Basically, the level requires a player to use only a knife or a silenced weapon and contributes to the invention of the Covert Ops class in the sequel to RTCW, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, which is another game I very highly recommend (also, the game is free).

Wolfenstein as a single player shooter is satisfying but certainly not ground-breaking. Graphics are rich and missions are challenging. Where it shines is in the multi-player team capabilities and coordination of assets in beautifully challenging environments. You won't tire of it anytime soon
