Pros

Elegant and destructive weaponry; wellanimated enemies; bold use of color and visual effects.
Nice graphics and performance- Veil system- Nice nods to earlier games
Good unlock system, 8-10 hour long gameplay, Singleplayer campaigns mindless fun
Fantastic boss fights, Dramatic battles, featuring plenty of blood, Solid online play offers lasting value, The guns are fun to shoot.
Beautiful graphics, fantastic sound design, and engaging story; upgrade system adds layers to the game.
Very polished action, Competent execution, The Veil looks cool, Killing Nazis makes you feel good.

Cons

Token multiplayer; popcorn plot; familiar level design and shooter set pieces.
Never answers the ‘why should you spend $50/$60 for me’ question- Reported bugginess in both PC and console versions Originally reviewed for VGBlogger
Multiplayer isnt as good as the last game even, Veil powers feel like a fad, AIs retarded, Level designs terrible
Boring story told by mediocrelooking cutscenes, Inconsistent level of challenge, A bunch of little issues add up over time.
"Veil" washes out graphics for most of the game; AI could be sharper.
Uninspired and unexceptional, The hub town is a drag, Nothing new to see here

While everyone will have their own take on Wolfenstein, it has to be said that the multiplayer experience is quite sloppy. The game just doesn't feel right to us, which is surprising given id Software’s previous track which often set the...

While I enjoyed Wolfenstein and have begun to go through it again on the hardest difficulty setting, I can’t help but shake the feeling that this is just another case of consolitis afflicting a once proud PC-centric game series. Just like F.E.A.R....

The secret uber-weapons of WWII Id Software didn’t develop the latest Wolfenstein, but the sequel to its genre-founding 1991 classic Wolfenstein 3D absolutely captures the meaning of the studio’s name: an impulsive, stimulating shooter full...

I actually was quite mentally prepared to be disappointed when I first hear that Wolfenstein was coming back again, but was pleasantly surprised to finds myself immersed in the game right off the bat quite frankly. There are lots of cool levels,...

As I’ve tossed out before while talking about the Wolfenstein iPhone releases, my history with Wolfenstein is nearly 30 years old. I’m not sure how I initially found out about it – it could have been an impulse buy at the local...

Famous for breaking in the first-person shooter genre in the early 1990s, the Wolfenstein series returns to its fantasy-themed World War II stomping ground in this polished, though predictable, update. The game sees players taking on the Nazi war...
