A must for all shooter fans!

Rarely have I played such a good and varied shooters like the new Wolfenstein, it reminds me of the gameplay even places far to delicacies such as Half-Life 2. And since the game in my opinion, has been unfairly here so often rated poorly, I thought to myself , I write sometimes a review about it.

I have the game as a download via Steam concerned (not Amazon) and installed me. Sure, you have to give the critics here quite: The game is unexpectedly large and thanks Day1 patch again become a lot bigger, ie one spends so watch the progress bar a lot of time. Also, the problems with censorship and the Geo Tagging (once you get the game installed in D, it is always censored or does not at first with a foreign version) course somewhere annoying, because in every WW2 war movie you see constantly swastikas. From the censored symbolism aside time also strange names tarnish a little bit the atmosphere. Thus, from the "leader" Just the "head of state". But all in all I must say that the game does not crash and the atmosphere very successful at a sci-fi Third Reich recalls. Also injected enough blood, opponents are downright tattered grenades, etc. That's why I could not understand the criticism regarding a "censorship" entirely. Once you resign so that one finds instead of swastikas only a similar symbolism, you have a great game in front of the screen.

Because much already has been to the actual content and the story itself is said and many tests conducted by renowned gaming magazines the Game adequately described (and praised) have, I would like to therefore limit my review only on the essentials:

+ Very varied story with exciting levels (trenches, a concentration camp, London and even the moon)
+ Interesting setting (the Third Reich once in 1946 and then 1960)
+ Futuristic weapons and enemies, cyborgs, tesla soldiers and many more, without the game loses its authenticity
+ Although linear, tube-like level design, but with enough branches and alternative routes
+ Beautiful Schleich deposits
+ Lots of beautiful cutscenes (hence probably also the size of the game)
+ Cute Easter-Eggs (you can as a "flashback" during a nightmare the original Wolfenstein in VGA graphics play)
+ Classic gameplay that unfortunately you hardly see in today's shooters (reminiscent of the good old shooter time)
+ Long Time by significantly more than 20 hours

- No multiplayer (but would mE somehow not fit)
- Rather average enemy AI
- The graphics: the reason for my Star deduction. Also I would like to explain in more detail:

The game is on its "classic" gameplay style really morz much fun, but I felt from the very beginning (just the first Misson is a real graphic gaffe) also in terms of graphics transported back to ancient times. If you want to play the game at the highest graphic splendor, so you bentöigt already really good hardware (well above the minimum requirements). With my Radeon HD 7850 with 2GB memory and 256-bit memory interface, I had quite problems to be able to play the game with high detail settings at 1080p smoothly. Even in the middle setting, I often micro stuttering, because the game is very on the CPU. Well well, that's just simply purse or hardware-dependent.

But even on the high settings surprised me the graphics a bit negative. It fluctuates playing always ziwschen "Wow, how cool" and "Whoa, that is surely a 5 year old Call of Duty better". The textures load visible at fast camera movements to and at a short distance, they are mushy. If, for example up close to warning signs, so the writing is suddenly totally pixelated and blurry. The most beautiful lighting effects appear to be only statically (no shadow when passing through, etc.). All in all, the graphic is different partly hardly of much older games, but can vary depending on level then again quite impressive. Somehow a strange engine, probably thanks to OpenGL places just seems stale. That's why the star deduction.

But if we look on the censorship, the loading times, geo-tagging and the texture problems in the graphic, you have a very solid, varied game with an exciting (albeit very concrete-heavy) story and beautiful turns. For me, a game that can be classified readily in others, some older milestones such as the Half-Life series, Unreal, Return to Castle Wolfenstein. For me much more exciting than all the Call of Duty and Battlefield games that yes somehow always look the same and are played out far too quickly.
