Shocked

I preordered Wolfenstein and found that it is a mediocre game when I got it, but I decided to come here to see what reviewers thought about it and was shocked to find that the top two reviewers had said that the game had "inpressive graphics", and another even said "steller graphics!" Please people listen to me when I say that unless you have never played any sort of video game since CoD 3. I know its graphics were good in its time, but now they are a little outdated. That is exactly what I thoght when I poped in the disk, CoD 3 with supernatural powers.
Now before I say anything else bad I guess I will say some of the good things: The single player campaign is great allowing you to upgrade your powers and wepons, and having a whole city to explore while you are not on missions. And talking about the powers you recieve they work fine, and give the game its own personality instead of being a remake of CoD 3.
Now back to the bad: Before I delve into the brain tearing horrendous multiplayer, I would like to point out the fact that bullets cannot go through most materials, which makes a rediculous first cutscene. The cutscene goes like this: you see yourself on a german battleship, and you sneak around and kill some people, untill you are spotted at which you open a metal door and use it as cover against a german using an MG42. An MG42, is a heavy machinegun, and although the door is metal a heavy machinegun would surely cut straght though a 1/4 inch thich metal door!
And finally the migraine inducing multiplayer. Oh I played it, and if you PLAY the objective mode thing it is fun, but the problem is that it is inposible to play. It takes a VERY long time to find a match, and when you find one there is an about 80% chance that when you get into it the lag will be so bad that you will be stuck in place and unable to move. So it is fun when you find a server that works, but I can tell you that is very hard.
