Is wolfenstein good as we expected? Go to the review to find out!
In this game, you, like always is B.J. Blazkowicz and you pretty much kill nazis. Obviously of what I said, it's taken in WWII, you are in a fictional town called Isenstadt; which nazis occupied the town to mind a rare crystal that takes them into a dimension called the black sun dimension. As you proceed through the game, the enemies just became stranger and stranger with mutant creatures and nazis with suits and Armour, or even skeletons with paranormal powers. And as the hero, you will have to destroy the nazi's plot before anything bad would happen. You and your rebel team you're in will sometimes help you through out the game. But as you go on, you will have to defeat the bosses, and the bosses are monstrous as well.
As well, you will get many cool weapons through out the game from destroying enemies. However, there are difficulties to choose from, easy, normal, hard, and expert. The only thing is that you will die more in normal which will make things frustrating. You will even die not very far from a grenade explosion as well, and at times the game will unexpectedly get hard and very frustrating. But after that, things are back to normal. But the weapons that you can get are very fun to use at nazis, you can make them burn to death, disappear to death, blown up and so many more if you get and upgrade your weapons. And yes, you can upgrade your weapons. But the catch is.. You need money, and money in this game is gold. When you have enough gold you can upgrade your weapons to make it better at damage, aim, and many more. Once you fully upgraded your weapon, the game can get a bit more easier but still frustrating. But it gets easier at shooting at enemies.
A new feature in the game is that you have no health, instead like most shooter games, it's pretty much like halo. Shield goes down, you're sensitive, after a while with nobody shooting you, you regain your health. Same thing with wolfenstein. Another feature in the game is the medallion that you have, you can use this to walk through walls, seeing enemy weak spots, slow time, shield yourself, and having damage effective. You then enter the "Veil" dimension, a barrier between the real world and the "Black sun" dimension. It's like a wall. As well, there are creatures called geists, they can be harmless. And if you hit them, they make an explosion. And they can easily kill nazis if close enough, but if you kill enough of them, they will turn angry at you and will try to kill you with a suicidal explosion.
As I said before, you can get gold. Well you can find various items through out the game as well. If you find intels, you get more intelligence for reading them. They're mostly about stuff that you wouldn't care, and tomes of power are upgrades for veil powers.
Graphics are pretty decent for the game, and if you compare with games from the past series, it's better than before. But the scenes don't look well. They're kinda boring, and the graphics need to improve a bit on the scenes. But the graphics look pretty great for it's series. But the developers need to work on the graphics a bit more.
The game uses the same thing as the previous games did, but this way of playing starts aging and it's showing it's symptoms. The series is old, and some parts of the game is pretty choppy as well. But there is some good gore depending on the right location. Mult player is can be pretty good as you try to kill people while using the medallion.
Overall, the game is very great on it's game play, but it doesn't have the right video game sauce to make it very good. But it's very good to play, the multi player has some problems and is very boring. But the game is good for a single player, but it doesn't mean it's bad. It's not good enough to stand up for the series. But if you want a great First Person Shooter, this can be the game for you. But it's best if you rent it.
