Yes you can choose your team and class, either Axis or Allies, then a series of classes such as Soldier and the already mentioned medic.
Also things like the gamertag and health of a player are indicated which is very useful if you choose to be a medic. To know who is talking a speaker icon conveniently pops up above a player’s head to indicate they are indeed bossing you about. The team tactics on the game for the various online game modes like the obvious team deathmatch and the scenario type games where you have objectives to complete to finish the game are just superb and enhanced by the voice communication no end. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is also compatible with the Xbox Live! service so get your communicator on and start planning your attack. So a very fun single player experience indeed and if that isn’t enough when completing the game you get access to play the original Wolfenstein 3D.
Hearing the faint murmurings of the Nazis talking to each other or the groaning and scraping of the hideous and often very dangerous zombie killing machines. There are still plenty of doors to open but the idea of not knowing what is in the next room hasn’t lost its appeal in all these years. There is much more of a slant on fantasy in Return to Castle Wolfenstein breaking you up from the usual killing and carnage to the more scary and outright bizarre creature manifestations. This is more a Nazi and monster bashing game compared to your just shooting people approach. This is not to be compared to Medal of honour. Levels are set in all sorts of areas including of course the famous Castle Wolfenstein, underground catacombs and vast out door areas set in woodland.

Lighting is also very atmospheric and if you have the Dolby Digital 5.1 set up you will experience glorious surround of which the PC game was seriously lacking. The single player maps certainly are varied and quite a bit of skill is required on the harder settings. One thing that reminded me of the first game was the skeletons in cages dangling from the ceiling. Sticking quite closely to the original game you have the usual Nazis, Zombies and some really interesting moments. Other then that though the graphics are pleasant and more importantly are atmospheric which brings you right into the game. The water is somewhat improved with it reflecting the surroundings however its static and doesn’t move even when you run through it, which makes for a very unconvincing water state. Graphically the game doesn’t look much different from the PC version although I was quite surprised on some of the larger rooms a slight stutter reared it’s ugly head, but this is very infrequent and doesn’t spoil it for the player. Thankfully the controls do the game justice and with a little time or likewise having played Halo more hours then I care to mention, you can easily get into the swing of things and soon start blasting your way through the countless enemies. So with a wide grin I continued and finally found myself in Castle Wolfenstein where the PC version began. Army Ranger is here to save the day.įirst of all for people who have played the PC version, you can understand why they will soon get confused when starting out on the Xbox version, as there is a whole new episode on our version that PC peeps never had. First coming to the PC the graphics were obviously a huge improvement, and while having Wolfenstein 3D elements, it wasn’t quite the same, especially when people who had not played the original couldn’t understand why there were zombies in the game, but never fear, B J Blazkowicz, a U.S. It seemed there was a never ending trail of opening doors and finding the odd secret room, but for it’s time it was the business and certainly brought me many hours of pleasure.įollowing on from such a great success it was only a matter of time before one of the greatest remembered games of all time returned to show off what technology can do today. Wolfenstein 3D was set in Castle Wolfenstein and the lovely enemies which were all sprite animations (2D) all dressed in Nazi clothing and shouting German words at you as you went from room to room. In the original game for most people it was the first time you were able to play in a 3D environment. After loving the original all that time ago, I eagerly waited for this game and here it is.
