Evil Avatar: Wolfenstein Review
Evil Avatar writes: "Wolfenstein has undeniable pedigree in terms of franchise. As the original FPS its place in history is well earned. Most recently Return to Castle Wolfenstein surprised gamers with a fresh update to the classic formula. That formula reads Nazis plus supernatural experiments equals some really messed up enemies. Raven Software have embraced the heritage of the series and gone to work on a brand new outing for B.J Blazcowicz that strains old fashioned gameplay styles to their very limits."
The Good
* Loads of content, especially by current gen standards. Definitely worth buying.
* The supernatural Nazi thing never gets old but plenty of ‘normal’ guys keeps the more monstrous enemies feeling like genuine threats to your safety.
* Refined, traditional FPS gameplay that rewards the daring and combines some neat special powers.
* Strong presentation throughout with well-suited voice acting.
The Bad
* No real set pieces or particularly impressive moments. Rarely breaks its own mold.
* Can get a little repetitious and doesn’t lend itself well to long play sessions.
The Ugly
* A few encounters aren’t particularly well balanced which can lead to depressing restarts as the middling A.I. picks you off.
