Pose: Like what?

Spec: KINGPIN! They were the exact same sound effects used in ID's older game Kingpin, which was released in 1999. When I first heard the tommy gun in the multiplayer demo I knew something smelled fishy, and it wasn’t Poseidon which was even stranger...

Pose: Well, having never played Kingpin I cannot confirm or deny this, but I thought the sound effects were great nonetheless. It was always funny listening to the nazis talking around the corner, especially the drunken ones! The weapon effects were spectacular I thought. When you shot out a spotlight you could hear the electricity arc, which I thought was amazing.

Spec: Well the new sound effects were very nice... but the music was awe-inspiring. Perfectly timed music and ambient sound added to the suspense as you were hunted down by monsters, or in the heat of combat. And... It’s all about...

Pose: MEGABYTE!

Spec: Yes yes, head director of your organization was played by the same voice actor as the V\virus "Megabyte" from the popular animated series "ReBoot"(non-Canadians might not have seen this).

Pose: The one problem with this game was the amount of difficulty present. Quick save and quick load are your greatest allies in this game -- even on easy mode it was quite a challenge.

Spec: Don’t sweeten it, we got our butts persecuted by the nazi’s over and over again!

Pose: True, true. You could pump some enemies with bullet after bullet into and they simply wouldn't die! A few even took rockets in the teeth, and did not stop.

Spec: Well I hope we've given you a sound view of the game. I give Wolfenstein a fair 8.5 / 10. My reasons for this are:

1. The wimpy grenades.
2. The recycled Kingpin sound effects.
3. The impossibility of some missions without using the quick save option.

Over to you Poseidon...

Pose: Well, I thought this was a great game. I loved the weapons, maps, graphics, and sound. It was not an easy game, and has replay value, which makes it a great buy for any of you FPS players. Also, who can pass up the opportunity to shoot some nazi’s? My tribulations were the weak AI which were very predictable, and like Specter, the grenades were very feeble. RTCW gets a nice 9/10 from me.

From Specter and myself, we bid you farewell!
