  Speaking of strategy, Wolfenstein is in dire need of a new one. Grinding through waves of predictable enemies in corridors is no way to pay homage to the franchise’s unquestioned legacy in the genre.

  It manages to make id Tech 4 look alarmingly like the Quake III engine, with hideous scrolling sky textures, bleary, ugly foliage

  Wolfenstein is an entirely competent yet woefully uninspired first person shooter. It's perfectly playable, but the Playstation 3 has much better to offer.

  7.0

  The frequent disconnects, poor visuals, and latency-ridden play soil an underwhelming mode, completely inferior to all the other Wolfenstein titles. It feels dated, just like the SP component, and while fun can be had, there isn’t much in terms of nuance. It's just a shooter.

  It's admirable that Raven Software recognized this with Wolfenstein, but you can't help but wish that they developed the kernel of the ideas in this game into something more. As it is, this new Wolfenstein comes off as an engaging, though otherwise forgettable, shooter.

  Perhaps it's unfair to compare new Wolfy to such an old game, but come on, it's the sequel. New Wolfy has way better weapons, and the free-roaming hub world will feel more advanced to some, but might not matter to others. The multiplayer is basically the same, but it felt fresher back in Return's heyday. So is Wolfy a worthy successor? For pure fun, definitely.

  Wolfenstein is a quality title most will enjoy. The solid shooter controls, interesting story, unique Veil mechanics, loads of hidden objects, and fine multiplayer give it legs. It isn't groundbreaking by any means, but it definitely aims to please.

  But the gameplay both online and off is solid enough to make Wolfenstein worth checking out if you're a shooter fan on the hunt for something new. It's familiar enough in spots, but the way the Veil powers function gives everything just enough of a tweak to feel exciting.

  Yet while it's pleasingly old-fashioned, the unimpressive AI, aging technology, and general lack of refinement make this sequel feel like a missed opportunity. But there are enough great battles here to keep you entertained, so while Wolfenstein may be the video game equivalent of a B movie, it's the kind of mindless merriment that shooter fans can get behind.

  Wolfenstein has a pretty solid single player experience that gives players a reason to play through the harder difficulties. It is just plain fun. While it does have its downfalls it is easy to forget about them. The only thing that is unforgivable is the multiplayer experience. It's very lacking, which is sad for players who have played Return to Castle Wolfenstein or Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. At the end of the day we get a solid single player with poor multiplayer.
