Earlier this evening, I finally finished the game, “Wolfenstein”, the new one that was just released earlier this year. I was pretty impressed with it. Most of the game was pretty easy but toward the end of the game got wicked hard. I played the game on the “Uber” mode, which means it’s a lot more challenging than the regular “Difficult” mode.

This game is actually a sequel to 2001’s, “Return to Castle Wolfenstein” that was released for the PC/CD-ROM only. As everyone knows, the Wolfenstein games were originally made for the PC years back. The classic “Wolfenstein 3D”, which was one of the very first, first person shooter games ever made which became a huge hit in the early 90’s.

The Wolfenstein games were very controversial, mainly because of its Nazi content. It’s where you play this character named B.J. Blazkowicz and walk around killing any Nazi in sight.

It’s the same with the newer “Wolfenstein” games, except the only thing is, there has been science fiction added to these stories. You fight more monsters in the newer “Wolfenstein” games and use more fictional weapons that are made up.

Back to the new “Wolfenstein” (2009) game, you still get to play the game’s main character, B.J. Blazkowicz. The plot to this game is that you must stop the Nazis from using the power of the Black Sun, so they can have these powers and become stronger. So you must team up with resistance fighters to work with Caroline Becker, to destroy the Nazis and the machine at the Black Sun.

The graphics to the game were good. Storyline was good. Action and gameplay was good, but they made a lot of it too easy for a Wolfenstein game. That’s my only complaint.

My favorite level of the entire game is when I go to the Nazi – Zeppelin blimp thing. That was way cool walking through the Zeppelin to kill Nazis on that thing. They did a good job with that level. The game had a cool ending, and yes I think they did leave open for another game.

The thing that impressed me the most out of the game, was the game’s musical score. This is some of the best musical scoring of a game I ever heard. I think it was the music that got me addicted to the game. The music was definitely Nazi like and kind of creepy.

I hope the video game industry would make a Nazi/World War II type of game that would be more realistic. They shouldn’t rip off Indiana Jones by mixing sci-fi with it. I think these games borrowed so much from “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, it was obvious.

It was a good game. It still could have been a little bit better but I had a fun time with it.
