Wolfenstein: The New Order is a good, solid Xbox360 episode of Sgt. William Blascowicz (B for short) blasting nazis, except that this scenario is a projection of what might have happened had Hitler made a different set of decisions so that Germany got the atom bomb first and won World War 2 after bombing New York.The action is set in Europe and its first large level is a prologue mission in 1946 which results in B being captured by brutal villain Dr. Deathshead and forced to choose, "Sophie's Choice" fashion, which of two comrades he will let die to save the other. The choice decides which survivor's timeline you pursue and, as you are best playing both, one after the other, to develops B's abilities,the 16 chapers, or levels, are doubled to 32. However, when B and friend escape Deathshead's stronghold, an explosion badly injures B that he is in a coma for 14 years in the Mental Asylum. He awakens in 1960 just in time to escape the purge of patients by nazi troops and save a favourite nurse who turns out to be his new link to the resistance he must help form by finding and freeing political prisoners and his old comrade.Missions are varied, in planes, hospitals, trains, prisons, a mini-sub, an experimental concentration camp, the resistance base, sewers, underground railways, U Boats, an astronomy museum, strongholds reminiscent of Wolfenstein Castle and even the Moon base. Yes, B visits locations that include, not just Poland, Berlin, a wrecked Gibralter Bridge and London, but he also gets a trip to the Moon. Enemies are updated Wolfenstein-style nazi troopers, complete with typical helmets and gas masks. and their commanders who can call in extra help if not silenced quickly, but they also have machanical help from robot dogs, heavily armed flying machines and giant robots including some interesting bosses. The main villains are articulate and have horrid personalities which result in sadistic deeds. There is torture here, and the game has a nasty habit of catching you out with unavoidable surprises so you are often off-balance, particulauly early-on when you are trying to make a difficult leap mid-air, from one falling and burning bomber to another, using unfamiliar game controls for the first time.In-depth quality is here too, romance and friendships to be made, each character having a story to discover and tell, riches to be found, codes to be broken, arms and new powers to develop and upgrade, and the new history of conquest and oppression comes through with morbid strength via individual stories and many written items including newspaper cuttings. It also has nice, loving touches, such as an option to play a level of the original Wolfenstein game as part of a dream. Five difficulty settings (which you can alter mid-game if you wish) helps to enhance its replay appeal, so there is probably about 16 hours per timeline if you want to find everything.The levels are large and well constructed, and the graphics are reasonably good too, with nice vistas of a future Berlin and a new London, and there is a nice selection of weaponry, including a multi-purpose laser - but there is a down side, which is why I give four stars instead of five.Firstly, the music score is monotonous and quite anaemic so that the mood is too sombre and muted overall and its atmosphere dampened. Good music, inspiring at key moments, can make a huge difference to a film or war game: and I often recall films or games from their theme tunes if they are memorable enough, but this score is far too weak where it counts. Yes, I understand they may wish to avoid flag waving, but some lovely music came out of World War 2 including film scores like "The Warsaw Concerto". When they make a sequel to this - and they really should - I so hope they show more imagination and inspiration in their music.Secondly, the writing is far too small and indistinct for anyone playing via a normal TV screen who doesn't have perfect vision. The makers must know that many people have imperfect sight and that some older people still play video games too, but they are not catered for here. If you are a casual player, unfamiliar with Xbox360 controls, then the truly minute symbols for the controls will leave you floundering in the early stages, and this is just not fair. Likewise, the wealth of written information in the Journal is so difficult to see on my 28 inch TV screen that, even on zoom aspect ratio, I am guessing to make ouit half the words. It is the same with subtitles and press-cuttings: there is much of interest that I have to gloss over and so miss out because of this inadaquacy. Please, if there is any room for authenticity, realise that in World War 2 people used old style typewriters using letters of a reasonable size and that computer small print is a sad recent discovery to spoil our enjoyment and waste the written content of our games.Having said all that, this is a strong game worthy of attention especially if, like many of us, you like blasting nazis.

Note: I haven't played earlier installments of the Wolfenstein series, I picked this up because I wanted to play a solid FPS that wasn't Halo or Call of Duty/Medal of Honor. I did do some background research just to get the backstory on some of the characters, but frankly, it wasn't needed. The game stands well on its own.So, let's get right to it and hit up the good bits of the game. First off, the story. Like I said, while characters from previous games make an appearance, you don't need to have played through the past several games to figure out what's what. The characters are given good development, and you end up emphasizing with them anyway. I also appreciated the depth they gave to the player character,William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz (yes, his nickname is B.J. Yes, I laughed too). All too often the main protagonist of a shooter is some gruff, grizzly muscle-bound marine with the emotional depth of a potato, but with B.J. they actually put in effort to make him seem more human. It makes him quite likable, at least in my opinion. Supporting characters are also well done with good voice acting (minus the volume, more on that later), both your allies and enemies. The main bad guy is quite memorable, which is something I always appreciate.The overall aesthetic is good too, if you like retro-futuristic design (different from steam-punk), you'll find the world very interesting to walk around and explore. The good thing is, you can actually do that in this game too. While each level has a main objective and a "goal" so to speak, there are multiple pathways to get there, plus collectibles along the way for you to hunt down. It's really nice to be given the choice to go in head-on, guns blazing, or to sneak around in the shadows, backstabbing unsuspecting enemies.So, good story, good characters, good environment design. Let's move on to the OK bits of the game. First off, combat. You have quite a nice arsenal at your disposal, with every gun having a secondary fire mode and almost every weapon being able to be dual-wielded. Some of the secondary fire modes only get unlocked when you find upgrades while playing through the game, but once you find them you can use them in subsequent playthroughs. The weapons themselves are, for the most part, pretty standard. Pistol, Assault Rifle, Shot Gun, etc etc. While the secondary firing modes are pretty cool for some, it's generally nothing to write home about. Still, each weapon is fun to shoot, and blasting apart your enemies is bloody and satisfying.There's also a stealth element, as I mentioned before. You have knives you can use for silent takedowns, plus a silencer option for the pistol. Adding to that, some enemies (called commanders) will call reinforcements if you are spotted, so at least taking them out silently is a must if you don't want to simply be overwhelmed. The problem is that this actually makes stealthing around almost an obligation. You CAN rush in, dual-wielded automatic shot guns roaring, but as far as I could tell enemy reinforcements kept coming until the commander was killed. The commander of course hides behind these swarms of enemies, so you end up being overwhelmed more often than not. Of course you can duck behind cover, poking your head out to pick off guys one-by-one, but that'll stop you from getting close enough to the commander to kill him. Combined with only minimal health regeneration and limited numbers of both healthpacks and armor packs, this makes it necessary to plan your combat strategies very carefully. Not necessarily a bad thing, I loved the challenge, but don't expect to be able to play through the game without dying a half-dozen times.And that brings us to the bad. First off, the graphics. This is the PS3 version, so I wasn't expecting anything mind-blowing, but it was still noticeable sometimes. Some textures would take time to load, or scenery in the distance would become murky, just in general the graphics are not top-notch. Which is a shame, because as I said the basic design of levels, environments and enemies is really cool looking. Another thing was audio issues. Not glitches or anything, but overall the BGM and sound effects are way too loud, drowning out any conversation that might be happening. You'd think you could adjust this in the options menu, but no. You can either mute the BGM completely, or adjust the overall volume of everything. Since the voice of B.J. is soft, almost a whisper, it became almost impossible to tell what he was saying without subtitles sometimes. Again, this is a shame, because the voice acting IS good.There were some other minor issues as well, the enemy AI isn't too bright for one, plus I did run into some actual glitches, but nothing game-breakingly bad. I had one crash, but it didn't occur again and I didn't lose progress so no biggie. Overall, a solid, fun shooter that gets enough things right to make the little rough edges not matter so much.

I'll be honest, when I first picked up Wolfenstein: The New Order my initial expectation was for it to be a mindless shooter where you gunned down a thousand Nazis only pausing once in a while for a high five, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was more depth than meets the eye. Mostly, anyway.For starters the game looks very good.. well, for the most part. It's been built from the ground up to run at a smooth 60 frames per second but in order to maintain that it uses something called 'dynamic framebuffering', which is just a fancy term meaning that the game downgrades and upgrades the resolution on the fly depending on how much is going on at any given time.This means the game looks nice generally, but if there's a lot to process, like when there's the occasional dramatic scene with close ups of characters, you're hit with a downgrade that makes the The New Order look quite bad indeed, akin to something you'd see on the PS2. The exceptions to this are the guns and the general environments, which maintain a high quality look almost throughout, though even here sometimes the background is too dark which makes it difficult to distinguish between the background and the enemies, who are often wearing all black clothing.On the flip side everything else that is part of the overall presentation package is near flawless - the story is heartfelt, the characters are varied and interesting, the music fits well and the sound effects, especially the click-clack of guns, sounds great. The one exception is that the map sometimes feels useless and fails to be helpful if you're looking to figure out where to go, but I guess you can't have everything.There's a good variety in how you play too. Wolfenstein treats you like an adult and allows you to approach most situations the way you want, giving you choices between running in all guns blazing or clearing the room stealthily, which is very welcome. The guns themselves are a diverse mix too, allowing you to use anything from throwing knives to silenced pistols, assault rifles, or even laser weapons - this is alternative history, after all. The only exception here is that you're also given the choice to dual wield weapons, but apart from looking cool it offers little benefit when compared with just having one gun out, making it a fairly pointless feature.Your playstyle affects your 'perks' too. These are unlocked by doing certain tasks, like scoring a certain number of headshots with a specific gun, rather than like in most other games where you get skill points or some such and pick what you want to unlock from a menu. This does feel intuitive for the most part but there were still a chunk of the perks which were just annoying to get and needed you to go out of your way to do something oddly specific rather than as anything that would come naturally to a player.Now, as I mentioned above, the game has a lot more depth than what it looks like upon first glance, but plenty of that mindless shooter aspect is still around. There are a lot of collectibles to gather for example but often times you're also blocked from going backwards and pick up something you missed or just if you wanted to keep exploring, which can feel frustrating as if you're just being herded through corridors like a sheep.The also applies to the weird disconnect between the touching story and the fun but silly gameplay. The plot itself is emotional and well done but that doesn't translate very well in to the gameplay itself, as if two entirely different teams made them and were forbidden from communicating with each other. One minute a you could be having a moving scene between two characters and the next you're shooting a giant robot dog with a rocket launcher packed in to your assault rifle, which is just odd. This disconnect can even be seen on a technical level where the volume in cutscenes is significantly quieter than that of the gameplay.Despite being a reboot The New Order struggles to let go of some boring aspects of old school games too. Boss battles are around but they work like they did in a lot of older games where there's less of a strategy involved and more about you needing to do some trial and error and die a few times before being able to see what the game actually expects you to do in order to win - as you might expect, this is tedious. Bizarrely rockets work like they're straight out of 1995 too where being hit by one launches you in a cartoonish small jump to the side.As a whole though this is a good package. While it does have some notable faults Wolfenstein: The New Order is a solid game with plenty to enjoy. It just needed a little more time in the oven to be truly great.

As a huge fan of the original Wolfenstein game i was eager to get this on launch day and have been playing it for around 6-7 hours.First thing to point out is that this is a single player game only. Ordinarily i become suspicious by that and often question the developers motives for doing such a thing. However, i have increasingly come to understand that single player games seem to last longer and maintain their attraction for longer and i agree with "H.Evans" comments regarding this.So down to the game, it's a first person shooter set in 1960's europe, the difference being that the Nazis won the 2nd world war and now control everything. You the player must lead the fight back,infiltrating enemy strongholds and attempt to take control of their "super weapons". It really is a great plot and well thought through, certainly those that appreciate a good story should like this. Now graphics aren't exactly fantastic but they are better than the xbox 360 version (which i have seen) but don't forget that this is suppose to be based in 1960s europe and to a large extent they have achieved that, the environments are destructible in parts and particularly come in handy when being attacked.If you haven't already guessed this is a game in which stealth is key and your ability to sneak around is crucial to your own success, very much like a Sniper Elite game and fans of that series should end up liking this. There is a regenerative health system which i do like but if your health becomes too low then you will require a health pack. There are lots of different weapons and some have special abilities, the classic example being the laser cannon which can double as a cutting tool.Pros: I love the story and the setting * stealthy game-play * love the weapons on offer * you get to fight the NazisCons: Ammo is far to scarce and you spend too much time searching for it in my opinion * Duel-wielding isn't as good as you first think and you waste too much ammo * Checkpoints have been positioned before and not after an event so if you get killed later on you'll have to do the section all over again * AI are completely dumb and slow.VERDICT: As I'm only half way through the game i will reserve my final judgement till i have completely finished it but based on what i have played this far i must say on the whole i am very impressed. The story is great and the game will pose a challenge, when you throw in some good shooting moments and the fact you get to kill Nazis what's not to like.I'm very much getting a touch of nostalgia playing this and have been pleasantly surprised by what I've seen. I can't give it 5 stars as it does have some problems like the ones i have listed and the fact it's retailing for £40+ i do find slightly hard to justify considering the game lasts around 14-15 hours and has no multi-player whatsoever to extend the experience.A great game that all old school fans of the series will thoroughly enjoy. Sniper Elite fans may also like what it offers purely because of it's setting and who you are fighting. Perhaps the best thing for me to say is to wait for the price to drop to £30 or less and this game will be well worth it. Just don't go paying full price or you might end up feeling slightly short changed and i say that as a huge Wolfenstein fan and someone that is currently enjoying the experience!RECOMMENDED when the price drops!UPDATE 20th June: I have now finished the game and it really was enjoyable, very much a recommended game if you like WWII shooter games and i intend to replay it again soon!

If you loved Resident Evil 4 you should also love The Evil Within. RE4 for PS2 was the first game that I ever played on the PS3 (release 60GB PS3s were backwards compatible). I had heard that RE4 was *that good* and worth playing before any of the PS3 games that were out at the time of the console's launch. And, man, were they ever right. RE4 blew me away, and it still stands as one of my top 5 favorite games. Many elements of RE4 are as fresh in my head today as they were way back in 2007 when I finally beat it after logging 30 hours into the campaign.The Evil Within was created by the same guy that did RE4, so I entered the game with great expectations after getting it on Amazon for just 19 bucks on Black Friday 2014.Were my expectations met? Mostly. It was definitely worth the 19 bucks!!! But these days I hold Dead Space up as the pinnacle example of Horror/Survival. Dead Space did everything correct from gameplay to story to mechanics to graphics to scares...everything was top notch. The Evil Within was great fun, but it disappointed in a few places.So first let me reiterate before I speak to my whiny complaints: The Evil Within was GREAT FUN. It's scary and tense with 15 very challenging chapters. It took me over 20 hours to beat. You will die (a lot) in Evil Within (on normal or higher difficulty). You will not beat certain enemies before a trial and error learning period (which can sometimes take more than just several attempts). There are some puzzles but it's not puzzle heavy. The challenges come by way of making it to the various chapter checkpoints via levels that are made insanely difficult at times by enemies driven by smart and accurate AI. I have no problem with smart and accurate AI, but when you add in that almost ALL enemies are walking bullet-sponges and ammo is scarce you are in for a challenge that requires more than just blasting your way through the game.And indeed there should be more than just blasting my way through a game, but in Evil Within when you're lucky enough to collect a decent amount of ammo in order to get through a chapter, it'd be nice if the ammo worked. 4 bullets to take down a human-haunted? Folks...aim for the head in this game and sometimes that doesn't even give you a 1-shot kill. Two grenades to take out the human-haunted with the machine gun? Ridiculous. Remember, I said accurate AI earlier and by that I meant that the enemies with guns in this game don't miss if you let them get a shot off.The creatures in Evil Within range from creepy to scary to disturbing. And almost all are viciously ruthless in their pursuit of you if they see you, so a lot of the Evil Within strategy will be to stay stealthy. The story and the dialogue are a bit whacky, but that's made up for by a game that has you in tense levels for the most part with a limited amount of cutscenes.I'm very late to the game with this review so I'll get this wrapped up by AGAIN saying that The Evil Within was great fun. I am excited to do a Survivor Difficulty New Game+ second playthrough. One thing's for sure about the second playthrough though: I will NOT be increasing the difficulty to Nightmare (unlocked after beating the game on Survivor difficulty). You can't raise the difficulty and use New Game+ anyway.Overall Rating: 4 ½ Stars

Now before I begin I want to make somethink clear. This game was made by the studio which is ran by the same guy who did RE 1-4, that means it is going to feel alot like RE 1-4, and I'm getting really tired of people saying it's trying to copy and paste The Last Of Us.The story is some what bland and hard to follow, until you start progressing through the game and fing side text that explains alot of the stuff going on, along with back story for characters. In my personal believe, as the game says that all the characters and other victums have a linked to all their minds, this is the reason as to why the story is every where. There isn't much character development,and the voice acting is a little off for the game but it hasn't effected my enjoyment of the game. With the scares, though falling through at points, are well done. The majority of scares are in the games hud, with a mixture of uncomfertably close camra angles, complete darkness, and unsettling audio.The combat is well done, giving the player a varried set of tatics to use while fighting large or small groups of enemies. The sealth is somewhat laughable at times, but it didn't take away from the intensity of the situation, even making me feel it was a god send they didn't notice me. You can use some of the enviorment around you to your advantage with bolts that have different effects on enemies (fire, ice, poison, ect) along with using bottles to destract enemies to get past them or to stealth kill them. The AI for enemies is somewhat weird because they will focus in on you from a long distance, and will continue to look for you until you are entirely out of the area. The comabt is handicapped enough to the point of where the game felt it was almost impossible at points. For example, I was fighting a boss and I had little supplies. No healing items, no ammo in stock, or parts to make cross bow bolts, with only a double-barrle shotgun fully loaded off to the side and 5 pistol rounds. It took 7 tries until I beat the boss and continue to the next chapter. It feels impossible, but it's not, so perpare to grow a pair. It also helps to have prior experience with the Dark Souls games, learning to conserve resources and when to be agressive or passive.The game shows off some impressive machnics, with completely invisable enemies in the first couple of chapters and solving pussles by examining the entire area for small details, while it could focus on them a little bit more, there is no doubt they put a lot of work into this game and it shows. As for the frame rate, however, I haven't run into any bugs and I'm playing on a PS3, the only one I have ran into was when I was going up a ladder and had my lattern out but it has only happened once.I would recommend this game to both people who loved Resident Evil 4, and to people looking for a challange. An even though I have a list of improvements for the game, it gave me exactly what I wanted from a horror game in the late 2013 era.

2.7.2014

I have to agree with the previous comments already left by other users, the best way to describe Wolfenstein is as an 'Old School' FPS. I found it refreshing that there is no multiplayer and the game is completley focused on the single player campaign which may FPS games these days tend to do the opposite way around.The gameplay is superb and I think they have found the right mix between stealth and guns blazing all out combat. I do enjoy stealth games (Spilnter Cell, Last of Us etc.) but I find these days they go a bit too OTT with it i.e. one slip up and its all over, barely even worth trying to shoot your way out or salvage things.

As an owner of all the Wolfenstein Games to date, from its origins on the Mac, through the Xbox to both of the latest versions that I now have on PS3, I have to say that so far I am certainly not disappointed with The New Order.I've not got very far into the yet. I'm currently trying to liberate three Stealth Helicopters from the top of a tall building. At this point there seems to be less emphasis on the Occult/Horror aspects of the previous versions and more on gameplay alike to COD with rather some influence from the likes of Sniper Elite, Deus Ex: and such.I find that there is just as much to gain from the stealth approach as there is from the frontal attack, hide and shoot approach. In fact,

Wolfenstein: The New Order does a pretty good job of addressing everything it sets out to do. The narrative is compelling, if a tad fragmented, and keeps you wanting to move forward as plot and characters develop; you're given just enough of the various characters' histories to make you care about them. I defy you not to find Max Hass excavating a small place in your heart. Playing as B. J. Blaskovicz you really do feel the part of human wrecking ball, the resistance's single greatest weapon in the war against the Nazis and there's something undeniably satisfying in the solid gunplay and over-the-top gore as swastika-wearing troops descend on you from all angles.The bleak world created by Bethesda to reflect life under Nazi rule is well realised and the graphics,

As soon as I heard last year that a new wolfenstein game was in the works titled Wolfenstein The New order I thought to myselfnot another one but then I saw the developer Bethesda I thought nice the makers off the elder scrolls series maybe I will wait and see for a trailer later that year a trailer was released and what I saw was a improved wolfenstein that would be a big hit in 2014 I pre ordered it and it came on time I opened the packaging thought 4 discs wow bit much but the xbox 360 does not have a blu ray drive so space is very limited with the 360 having a dvd drive no big problem to me so I loaded up the first disc got welcomed with an install screen it took about thirty minutes to

Having been a little disappointed by some of Wolfensteins previous games, I was half expecting an average FPS from a series that brought us this genre.It starts off at the end of the second World War and you play as the returning 'William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz'. At the end of the first chapter you have to make a choice to save one of 2 colleagues - each will give you a different skill which opens up different routes and a different upgrade (health or armour). After this you escape a Castle but get injured. Chapter 2 begins in a hospital 14 years later in the 1960 and find out the Nazis won the war. This is where the game really begins.The acting and script are very well done and the controls are responsive too.

Before i go into the game i would like to add a short back story on why i love it so much. I have always been a Resident Evil fan (video games) ever since Resident evil directors cut came out and beyond. I also enjoyed many other horror survival RPG's, in fact they are my fav class of video game. Ok enough about Me!!! Here it is, what makes "The Evil Within" Such a bad ass title for any system in the RPG survival horror class ? 1) The game's environment, it is a lot like Resident Evil but much more in the realm of insanity, but this is good insanity. The first time i play it i couldn't stop, because it jumped out at me with such realistic environments. 2) The Horror (this should have been 1),

I’ve seen a few reviews of Wolfenstein: The New Order and some are actually a little off putting. But 8 hours + into the game I can confirm these are way off the mark. Wolfenstein (for me anyway) has been a blast and a very enjoyable experience from the start.A lot of people have said it’s old hat and that the graphics don’t represent what they want/expect from a next gen shooter - But when it’s done as well as this, then really I don’t see the problem.A few things that did surprise me is the depth of the characters. You end up feeling for the main protagonist and his side kicks in a way I just didn‘t expect from a Wolfenstein title.For every insane thing Blazkowicz does is followed by an emotional human touch or tender moment between characters.

20.10.2014

This game is absolutely fantastic: the pure unadulterated survival horror that many of us have been waiting over a decade for. Resident Evil 4 minus the campy elements, improved game mechanics a la The Last of Us, bizarre interdimensional/psychological time-space shifts reminiscent of Silent Hill, and some aesthetic nods to all of the aforementioned as well as some Hellraiser for good measure, The Evil Within draws from a variety of horror classics but synthesizes them all into a coherent package all its own.The overwhelming trend among the negative reviews seems to be a complete misunderstanding of what survival horror is all about. The game is difficult on purpose,
