Lives up to the 'Wolfenstein' name...

The Good
Nice graphics for 2001, and had a huge fan-base that provided much for players of this game who had the internet.

The single player part of this game is highly appealing, and realistic. It sticks to the war, yet adds much to it, such as chemical warfare, robotic warfare and biological warfare. You have to beat all three from the beginning of the game to the half-way point. Battling all of this is very nice, but nothing beats fighting the human opponents, and they turn up frequently throughout this game. You fight in a large variety of locations, all of which are visually appealing, and realistic to the era of this game.

For me, the huge gem of this game is the multiplayer. It is probably the most imaginative arrangement I've ever experienced, and is a welcomed change from deathmatch games. It is all enough to keep you hooked for hours!

The Bad
I feel that it would've been better if we stuck to the rules of war and did not have huge electric-prong weapons, or massive chain guns, but still, it's only a game. Admittingly, I cannot think of much which is poor in this game.

The Bottom Line
I recommend this game fully. It is worthy of the Wolfenstein title, and I also strongly recommend the original game to be played first.
