Ever since I played Wolfenstein: The New Order, I started to play other installments in the franchise, like The Old Blood and The New Colossus. But recently, I finished beating Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Coming from someone that has never played this game before, I enjoyed it despite some flaws. What I liked about this game was that the story did keep me interested in seeing what would happen, since the other installments have been known for Nazis doing all kinds of crazy stuff to win the war via dark magic or robotic soldiers. The gameplay was also good, and I enjoyed using the weapons used in the game, including the one where you shoot electricity to fry your enemies. It's also pretty cool coming across some secret areas and discovering hidden treasure. While the character models do look weird, they're not too awful, and the animation for them, when they move around, is good. Also, I love how diverse the levels would be because you'll end up in areas ranging from a castle to a temple. One more thing that did annoy me about this installment of the Wolfenstein franchise and I know this will sound more like a nitpick, but I have to say it: To play it, you have to download a mod to play it, and it took me about a year to install it correctly. I wish this didn't happen, but sadly, there was nothing I could do except download the mod and do it correctly. Overall, while this game did have some flaws that annoyed me, I still enjoyed it for what it was, and if you want to play any of the older Wolfenstein installments, this one is worth your time and money.
Whenever people always mention Lucasarts, they usually bring up some of the Star Wars video games published by them such as KOTOR 1 and 2 or the video games that were not based on any existing property like the Monkey Island games. But for me: I always think about Armed and Dangerous. What makes this game fun is the weapons you get to use and these include a gun that can fire an actual shark and have it devour your enemies or a weapon where you can literally flip the level upside down and watch your enemies fall to their deaths. The game also has funny humor and a decent story thanks to the folks down at the now-defunct Planet Moon Studios. However, this game has definitely shown it's age due to the characters in the game not having good lip-synching at times and the game does get repetitive later on. Also, the graphics are kind of dated but they still look decent especially since the levels you go through do look really good. If you're looking for a fun third-person shooter with great humor and cool weapons, this game is definitely up your alley even if parts of the game have shown their age as time goes on.
I have heard great things about this game, and it made me want to play it. What I did not expect was: 1. Being hard as you progressed through it. 2. The story. Seriously, it got so weird and crazy, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I could go on and on about how great this game is. I'll say this: This game is packed with crisp graphics, especially when it comes to the look of the video game, great gameplay, an interesting story, and an excellent but creepy soundtrack. If you haven't played this video game yet, play it, but once again: This game gets hard as you play more of it, and you will need to rethink your strategy at times.
