Amazon.com Product Description
You are B.J. Blazkowicz, a highly decorated Army Ranger recruited into the Office of Secret Actions (OSA) tasked with escaping and then returning to Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to thwart Heinrich Himmler's occult and genetic experiments. Himmler believes himself to be a reincarnation of a 10th-century dark prince, Henry the Fowler, also known as Heinrich. Through genetic engineering and the harnessing of occult powers, Himmler hopes to raise an unstoppable army to level the Allies once and for all.
You must first escape from imprisonment in the castle to report the strange creatures and happenings in and around Wolfenstein to the OSA. Your mission takes a drastic turn as you learn the depth of Himmler's plans and what you must do to defeat the evil he has unleashed. Your surroundings will be dangerous and hostile. The OSA is currently tracking activities believed to be associated with Himmler in locations throughout Germany, including villages overrun by the occult, hidden crypts, forests, air bases, secret weapons facilities, and genetic labs.
Enter a highly immersive story line driven by realistic, mission-based action gameplay, believable AI, and the Quake III engine. Arm yourself with an arsenal of weapons, including Luger 9mm, Mauser 7.92mm, MP-40, SP-5 sniper, venom guns, grenades, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers. The game also features a multiplayer mode pitting players in a team-based Axis versus Allies contest for frontline domination.

| 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful  Stunning graphics, smart AI, but not much innovative play, By HLB (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Mac) (CD-ROM) Remember that Simpsons episode where Homer is sucked into a higher (three-dimensional) reality and has his mind blown for a little while? If you still remember the old Wolfenstein 3D, that may very well be how you're going to feel once you fire up Return to Castle Wolfenstein (aka RTCW--I'm lazy). The graphics are stunning, including highly realistic textures, fog, lighting effects, and of course nearly photorealistic opponents. Environmental sound effects and wonderful--often hilarious--voice acting round off the illusion. All cut scenes are produced using the in-game engine, and I'd say the only way to make them look better would have been to use live actors. Facial animations are well executed, and once you get a good look at the femme fatale Elite guards, you will realize how well your enemies are built ... er, designed. Your Teutonic opposition largely speaks English with a strong accent (and unless you know German, you'll probably be thankful for this), but they do throw in the...

Afterwards, I found that this game was scheduled to hit the Mac in February. So, I preordered it on Jan. 16. On February 1, it was delayed a month. March 1, delayed another month. April, delayed another month. Thank god it finally came. It was worth the wait. First off, with even a low-end 3D card, the graphics ROCK. Gameplay is intense, especially in the quiet levels of the catacombs, but even nastier are the X-Labs. Think Alien with nazis and dark knights thrown in. Now, about the difficulty of this game: if you are like me, and usually play FPSs (first-person shooters) on normal or medium difficulty levels, PLAY THIS GAME ON EASY FIRST. At first, the game is pretty easy, then, as soon as you hop into the catacombs, this game starts to get HARD. The guns are awesome, my personal fav. being the Paratroop rifle. You can utilize the knife, luger, Colt 1911, MP40, Thompson,... Read more 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful WOW!, This review is from: Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Mac) (CD-ROM) To start out this game rocks. Rating System- 1 Bad- 5 Great The GRAPHICS 5-Great landscapes and the enemies are lifelike. THE SOUND 4- Guns sound real , but sometimes its hard to hear what the guards are saying. Also the music is repeated a lot. REPLAY VALUE 5- This has the most replay value out of any game I played (a large part of this is the mulitplayer is so fun!). The Single Player has easy, medium, and hard. NOTE: Single player is very hard even on easy. It has taken me almost three months to complete it in easy. The MULTIPLAYER IS GREAT! 3. The Medic- Revives fallen teamates also hands out med packs. The Medics Health regenerates over time. |
