Re: Wolfenstein?

IGN give it 7.3...hmm that is actually better then I expected. They gave graphics 7.5, saying a little dated but still good....

Re: Wolfenstein?

I'm only about an hour or so in, but thus far it's actually pretty well done I think. I'll see if it holds up I guess.

Re: Wolfenstein?

I'm somewhat disappointed by the tepid initial reviews. I LOVED "Return to Castle Wolfenstein." Guess I'll just wait till this hits the bargain bins.

Normally I would have waited too but I'm a big Wolfenstein fan and I had a lot of credit at Amazon so I figured what the hell. Received my copy yesterday gonna give it a try today if I can finish up Shadow Complex.

Re: Wolfenstein?

All the ads I've seen for it make it look like the opening sequence of the film Hellboy spread out into a full FPS.

That's what I've been using to describe it. You just don't get to play as Hellboy unforuntately.

There some amazing scripted events in the game though I will say. Some of the visuals are pretty awesome.

Re: Wolfenstein?

I'm really enjoying it. Got it Friday and am half way done and it's easily one of the best games I've played this year.

Judging from your avatar... until batman, am I right?

Anyways this game will probably be 20 bucks in 2 months I bet. With the low hype it won't last long at 60

Re: Wolfenstein?

The lack of hype for this game is shocking. It reminds me of a movie that doesn't get screened for critcs. 9 out of 10 times it's a stinker.

Is there something else to the story we're not getting?

Re: Wolfenstein?

I honestly didn't even know about this game until 2 weeks before it released.

Re: Wolfenstein?

Just finished it yesterday and I enjoyed it. I thought the graphics were at least on par w/ the current gen, they didn't really blow me away but they didn't stick out as being bad. The story, for as much as I paid attention, seemed to be pretty good. The game play was a lot of fun, a mix of linear and "choose your own adventure" styles. Once done w/ any level you can go back and replay it (w/ all your current weapons) to finish gathering the gold and intel and then jump right back into where you were in the overall story. However, while I enjoyed it I don't see myself buying it anytime soon or at all. I'm not really into online gaming so the multiplayer has little appeal to me and the story wasn't that compelling that I feel the need to run through it again anytime soon.

Truly perceptive! On that note, I was in Target yesterday as I heard BAA had been released early and could be found there. So, I ask the genius sales associate if they have any available and his reply: "Oh, their not releasing that game until next year". Isn't it just easier to say I don't know than to make up a cockamaimee faux release? Just my thoughts. Back on topic: I am enjoying this game so much! I'm almost done(fighting the Geist queen) and will be ready for BAA in a day or so. It's so good, I might even just restart it when I've beaten it!

Re: Wolfenstein?

I'm about 65% through the game and I'm liking it quite a bit. Gameplay reminds me a lot of FarCry 2 but in a good way.

Re: Wolfenstein?

The demo was much better than I expected. Gameplay was fun and the graphics looked good. I'll pick this up when it hits the $25-$30 range.

Re: Wolfenstein?

I downloaded the demo last night. I really enjoyed it, and will pick this up down the line when it gets a price drop.

Re: Wolfenstein?

It's a fun if superficial game but, in my opinion, like 90% of games out there, not worth picking up for $60 and keeping it.

Re: Wolfenstein?

Finished it on normal earlier [under 12 hours]... Just need to go back and find all gold, Intel and Tomes. Will try it on the hardest difficulty at another time and also try not to die more than 3 times. Also need to get the MIRE achievement.

Anyway enjoyed it, solid game... will probably try online, if anyone is actually on.

Re: Wolfenstein?

I thought it was a pretty good game. Nothing special, but decent and above-average. Worth a rental.

I pre-ordered it at EB and it was one of their game guaranteed titles, so I was able to essentially try it for a week without any strings attached. I beat it and didn't feel like playing it again, and didn't like it enough to spend $70 on it so I returned it for a full credit refund.

Raven did a great job on Singularity and X-Men Origins: Wolverine though.
