Speaking of strategy, Wolfenstein is in dire need of a new one. Grinding through waves of predictable enemies in corridors is no way to pay homage to the franchise’s unquestioned legacy in the genre.

Critic reviews
- 5.0It manages to make id Tech 4 look alarmingly like the Quake III engine, with hideous scrolling sky textures, bleary, ugly foliage
- 5.0Wolfenstein is an entirely competent yet woefully uninspired first person shooter. It's perfectly playable, but the Playstation 3 has much better to offer.
- 7.0The frequent disconnects, poor visuals, and latency-ridden play soil an underwhelming mode, completely inferior to all the other Wolfenstein titles. It feels dated, just like the SP component, and while fun can be had, there isn’t much in terms of nuance. It's just a shooter.
- 7.3It's admirable that Raven Software recognized this with Wolfenstein, but you can't help but wish that they developed the kernel of the ideas in this game into something more. As it is, this new Wolfenstein comes off as an engaging, though otherwise forgettable, shooter.
- 8.0Perhaps it's unfair to compare new Wolfy to such an old game, but come on, it's the sequel. New Wolfy has way better weapons, and the free-roaming hub world will feel more advanced to some, but might not matter to others. The multiplayer is basically the same, but it felt fresher back in Return's heyday. So is Wolfy a worthy successor? For pure fun, definitely.
Gamer reviews
Overall a standerd first person shooter with a little bit of a challenge. Overall a decent game.
