I wanted to play this game, but for some reason the Multiplayer.exe file opens up and loads immediately, but NO MATTER WHAT I DO, the Singleplayer.exe file will NOT play! That's two games already! Quake II unstable and constantly crashing, now this Wolfenstein? Sheesh.
I remember when I got this playing it wanting to kill the dev team more than nazis!
For it's time a pretty game good idea, absolutely nothing like or to do with real run and gun games.
There are 3 or for levels that drove me insane at how linear and stupid they were.
Anyone who says this game has good level design either didn't make it very far or cheated a lot.
Has little replay value as it is not about fun but truncated gameplay and a lot of development went into multiplayer.
I remember playing this game on the Playstation 2 so many years ago and I believed this was the same version here on GOG. I guess the PS2 one was some sort of special edition because this PC version in an inferior product.
Worse graphics and the entire Eqypt section at the start of the game is missing.
Still the same in the gameplay department but I am glad I got this on discount
This game was groundbreaking in it's time. And it's also a quite long game, which is a testament how much effort was put into games back in the day with all the different locations and big maps.
The thing that I didn't like even back in the day, was that you fight more monsters than Nazis, and there isn't much diversity in the human enemies or in their animations. And that's four years after Turok or Goldeneye (N64) showed how it's done.
There isn't also much tactics involved in the firefights. You can peek around corners, but not shoot. Crouching is the only skill in your tactical toolbox.
There are also a surprising amount of levels which require stealth, and the rules are never really clear if an enemy is able to spot you from a mile away and when they aren't. It's especially frustrating at a certain mission at a prison camp where the mission is immediately over after you get spotted. And sometimes the alarm goes off regardless if you have spent several minutes in a building with no enemies in sight.
There are also bugs where I had to jump and then immediately crouch to enter a certain building.or opening, and it just wouldn't let me enter, I had to restart the whole mission to pass certain obstacles because of those bugs.
Overall, this is only for nostalgic players who played this game back in 2001, but for new players there's nothing to see here.
