The TA community have given the game a score of 3.1 out of 5, whilst Metacritic has the title rated at 72, with mixed reviews, although the Metacritic user score is a slightly higher 7.6.Īs with all older titles, it is worth shopping around for the best deal, however UK gamers can pick up the title from Amazon UK for £21.95. However, 8,594 gamers saw the single-player campaign through to the end. There's nothing too difficult or missable, although completing the campaign on Über difficulty could be brutal.Īt the time of writing, 23,502 tracked members have played the game, but only 687 players completed it fully. Single player achievements are generally a mix between story completion, weapons, collectibles, and exploration. In my region, only 184 people had bothered to play in the week preceding this feature. For the achievement hunters and completionists that's bad news as multiplayer is pretty much dead at this time. There are 49 achievements, split between 25 for single player and 24 for multiplayer. You also begin to realize how much that latter portion of the game has sucked you in, and how much fun it has been, and ultimately and regrettably how short that same last part feels. As the screen fades to black and white, indicating the presence of suppressor, you start to move more cautiously around the area, trying to find the machine to destroy it before any trouble heads your way.Īs you move inevitably towards the final climactic showdown, you begin to realize how much you have become reliant on the Veil and its powers.
Such is the fun with the Veil powers, that on the occasions when you run into the vicinity of a so-called Veil Inhibitor - a machine that stops you from using your powers - you start to feel vulnerable and under-powered again. However, tucked away beneath what looked like an old-school shooter, and almost as well-hidden as the game's collectible treasure, was a gem of a game that rewarded those players persistent enough to discover it. Despite often being hailed as the franchise that started the FPS genre, and despite being built on the latest idTech 4 engine, Wolfenstein had a lot of hurdles to clear, and didn't quite set the mark at release.
Unfortunately, gamers were already moving on to more modern combat shooters, spearheaded by the Call of Duty franchise, and the WWII genre was seen as passé and its popularity in decline. Much like a gamer who finds an Easter Egg hidden away in a game and proceeds to trumpet it from the highest hills and forums, the TA Team is going to be featuring these Easter Egg games on the front page for all to see.Back in 2009, the development team over at Raven released the latest installment of the popular World War II FPS, Wolfenstein. Welcome to Easter Eggs, where the TA Team shines the spotlight on games that many gamers might have missed, perhaps hidden away behind the millionth copy of Call of Duty or FIFA.
