The latest Wolfenstein title continues the experience of taking down evil German soldiers & does not disappoint like some previous titles. This game is single player only & with that the publishers chose to focus on a long (20 hour) engrossing campaign that has you fighting for the resistance against evil German control. It starts off during the final days of World War 2 & then jumps to 1960s. The Germans have won World War 2 & have taken over the world. It is your job to take it back from them. Reviews gave it a 8 on Gamespot.com, a 8 on Gameinformer.com & a 7.8 on IGN.com.

I've had alot of fun with this game. The graphics and story line are actually pretty great. You can play the game by using stealth, weapons blazing or a mixture of the two. The perk/skills upgrades are only unlocked by completing certain tasks. All the weapons from the pistols to the mounted cannons feel powerful and handle well. All the npcs you will be laying waste to come in various forms, from the average trooper to mechinized mutants of mayhem. This game captures the classic shooter feel yet feels stylized and fresh. It has exceeded my expectations and is easily one of my top games of recent years.

Wolfenstein the new order delivers the goods....with 5 different settings from being a beginning gamer to a hardcore gamer set it for your style...it's addictive from survival to exploring...the story is interesting and compelling in an alternate time line as if we lost the war....plenty of upgrades and guns to be found...worthy of repeated playthroughs by increasing the difficulty and trying to find all the hidden codes, letters, and gold....give it a go and you'll be hooked....

The story in the game is excellent! Even though it is different from Wolfenstein 3D of the good ol' days, it brings me back to that time somehow. I like the mix of human enemies and mech/robot enemies! Keeps things interesting! I also like that you obtain more and more different weapons as you progress through the story - this works to keep the campaign fresh on every chapter. The game is non-linear, so you can explore and find collectables or rush throw guns blazing - whichever you choose. I wish there could have been a multiplayer component, however. That would have made the game more valuable to me. As currently priced ($60) it is a little expensive for only a single player campaign. I think it would have been perfectly priced at $40. Definitely check this game out at some point!

Honestly I am a little surprised how good this game is. I usually would have waited until a price drop for this kind of game, but Best buy offered a $20 gift card and code for the Doom beta if you pre ordered this game. Tie that in with being a gamers club member, meaning another 20% off, I figured it was a no brainer for the price. It's not a super long game, but it's on pace with other first person shooter campaigns. There is no multiplayer, so that being said the replay value isn't huge, but there are some decent achievements/trophies you can grind out after you complete the game. There are many weapons to use, some vehicles to drive, and lotsa bad guys/gals to kill!! It is well written, funny, has great characters, and has a few amazing cut scenes. There is also a little Easter egg where you can play the first level of the original Wolfenstein for the older gamers! All being said, it's a great ride, and since there isn't much else out these days it's worth the price tag.
