Much like Doom 2 is to Doom, this isn’t much more than a new mission
pack for Wolfenstein 3D. But that certainly isn’t a bad thing - it just
doesn’t give me as much to talk about as in my other reviews. It’s quite
challenging on higher difficulties, the graphics are nice, and there’s
plenty of nazi scum to turn into hamburger meat with your guns -
including some cool new bosses! There’s also some new textures and
graphics in use for this one, so they did put forth the effort to add
some new visual flair to the game.
One annoying change
from Wolfenstein 3D (The Xbox One version, atleast) is that now when you
rub against any wall while moving around, it makes a strange noise,
which I found to be a rather irritating design choice. I like to listen
to music while playing these games, and it especially helps in this case
to drown out that strange sound effect.
Another
interesting addition is that the themes of supernatural horror from the
first game get amped up in this one - I won’t spoil how, but it was
quite a cool surprise for me at the end of the game!
Lastly,
this is an older game and you thankfully won’t have to worry about any
sleazy DRM software, even if you’re playing it on steam (which is good
as physical copies of the game can be somewhat pricey). When playing on a
modern computer, I recommend getting the source port “ecwolf” to help
bring the game up to more modern standards.
