    Micro-Review: Worth the Single Player Romp

     This is a solid FPS that knows it is a game and plays like a game. The mechanics are mostly all in place and the FPS feel is good. The game controls just like Modern Warfare so it is easy to jump into and the levels are all well built. The veil powers are predictable, but a nice touch to the game. The only complaint is that you spend almost all of your time in veil mode viewing the world in a green cast. 

    While the game is solid on single player, the mechanics don't translate to the multiplayer. The controls feel way to squishy for the precision needed. The money system used to level up, while cool, just doesn't have enough variety to keep it interesting. Overall the multi-player feels a bit like a 1990's MP hangover. It is just dated. 

    Overall though the game is worth a look for the single player alone as it is a traditional romp through the Wolfenstein game style.

Once he got on stage, he asked the audience to "get a little applause like [John] Carmack got at EA yesterday." Carmack had just announced id's Rage at EA's press conference the day before. Outside of that announcement, the only amount of publicity Wolfenstein got was being featured on an episode of GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley. I am guessing that this gam...
