Spear of Destiny

The Good
Spear of Destiny contains the same edge-of-your-seat fun and excitement that made the original Wolfenstein 3D a masterpiece. There are some new end-of-level bad guys, and a occult inspired twist at the end of the game that I personally did not see coming. The great sense of humour that permeated the first game continues in Spear.

The Bad
The game is basically a cheap knock-off of the original Wolfenstein 3D. And really, who can fault Id for this? They must have been as surprised as the rest of the world by the phenomenal success of the earlier game, and realized that there was some additional money to be made before releasing Doom. Spear doesn't add anything new to the Wolfenstein 3D experience, but Wolfenstein in itself was the bargain of the century in terms of bang-for-your-buck. Again, who can complain about Id realizing that gamers would be willing to pay for more of the same.

The Bottom Line
Very similar to Wolfenstein 3D. A classic game that is worth a look, even by today's standards.
