Wolfenstein for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Ok so I picked this up for the weekend and decided to go through it. It has been recieving a lot of hype from gamestop but let me just say that I was not that impressed. Now mind you the game does not necessarily do anything wrong. What it does do however has just been done many times over before. Its almost like they took the formula for a first person shooter and changed the setting, characters and story. There are a few highpoints to include the supernatural powers upgradable weapons and the mini sandbox feeling you get as you explore the city running between factions and missions all the while fighting Nazis to get to your destination. Still the faults in this game even it out which include targeting that seems a little off at times and while upgradable very limited choice of weapons as well as unusally long loading times for a game on a next generation console.
And then theres the multiplayer, with this game I finally understand what is meant when they say that in some games multiplayer is just "thrown in". Although there are different classes you still feel like all you are doing is running around shooting enemies. The level layout is horrible. It seems that you start off on opposite ends of the map and just run at each other, once you reach the middle shoot until they die or you do then start the process again. The whole thing lacks any type of imagination.
The saving grace of this game is definitely the single player campaign. To be honest it probably could have stood on its own. I recommend this game to anyone thats a fan of the Wolfenstein series otherwise its a nice rental and maybe a distraction from Call of Duty or Gears of War for a brief second.
Reviewers note:
Heres any idea for everyone to consider dont you think that its time for developers to make achievements exclusive to the single player campaign while challenges should be for multiplayer like it is setup in Call of Duty?
