Bethesda Wolfenstein: The New Order - Playstation 3

First of all, WOW. What a surprise! I was expecting a shallow FPS game, along the likes of what Wolfy used to be. And boy, did they throw that impression out of the window about 5 minutes into the game. The developers have done an impressive job at making Wolfenstein 3-dimensional in more ways than just graphical. The story is well-scripted, well-acted and actually draws you in! it has a war film feeling, including the sinking feeling that you get with all war films, when the suspense builds. Will she/he die? Will I get caught? Is everyone dead? I'm exposed and in the open! i need to find cover! The gameplay mechanics are a little old school wolfenstein, you have to pickup health, ammo and power ups manually, and you can carry essentially a small armory with you at all times. The shooting is satisfying, but again a little traditional (and i don't mean 90s traditional, i mean 80s gaming traditional) but that's not such a bad thing. The game includes dual-wielding all weapons, which is unwieldy and actually makes it more difficult to gauge shots (even though the reticle is the still singular, it must be a psychological thing for me), so i kept going back to single gun mode. The game difficulty is satisfying and challenging, provided you don't choose a baby mode. The stealth is well thought out and actually do-able unlike some other games. It makes the times when you sneak up behind a German soldier, and plunge your dagger through his neck all the more satisfying. One small criticism if i had to make one, and it is definitely nitpicking, was that maybe the story (that i praised up above) can get a little over-dramatic and heavy handed. Blaskowicz is a human after all, and he has a heart, something we tend to forget after he violently murders about 4,000 Germans per level. But then the story makes sure to remind us, by showing him with a puss-in-boots lovelorn expression every once in a while, and tears in his eyes. The game looks gorgeous! absolutely gorgeous 10/10. The design is impressive, because it not only built a 1945 era arena in the beginning of the game, but also updated the Third Reich for a scientific future that isn't slapped on. It feels organic and a logical extension. Thank god they were actually defeated in WWII, eh?

I was very surprised by this game. It is actually very good. Great action and very fun to play.Don't listen to the Negative people here, it's a great game, you won't regret it.

Excellent game, good price.

Excelente juego, muy buena historia. Wolfenstein es un juego que te atrapa facilmente, no podrás dejar de jugarlo. 100 por ciento recomendable

I have not beaten the game yet, but have played at least 8 hours. So far its incredible. I'm not upset over the lack of multiplayer since the story and single player are well done. It does go over the top with the sci-fi elements but its a nice break over everything out now trying to be more real, with real stories, and scenarios. Seeing mechs automated or piloted, dogs with metal infused parts and fused humans to robot bodies was implemented well. Basically, it does well in adding all these familiar elements to WW2 setting without it being cheesy. It's an alternate setting almost like a "what if" the Germans won the war? American history gets altered for example they become first to land on the moon, atomic bombs etc (leaving things out to avoid giving away the cool parts). But you get the idea. If anything, they accomplish MORE at an accelerated rate than what we did in the past few years. Some of the advanced items we have now (as in 2014) they had a few years after the war and more. Weapons are from WW2 but you run into some advanced weapons later on and Sci-fi related ones. Regular bombs and Tesla bombs that discharges electricity as a weapon instead of an explosion. There are some interesting weapons, many which have an alternate mode like rapid fire, silencer, grenade launcher, tracking, and some that shoot at multiple targets but uses electricity as fuel. (making it not spammable or easy to take everyone out). Its well balanced that the cool weapons are not overpowered and force you to make every shot count. All weapons that are not special guns have a double handed mode like two handed shotgun, two handed pistol, two handed AK etc. You just need to pick up extra weapons to go into two handed weapon mode. (which are easily picked up from dead enemies.) Ammo is decently scattered and dropped from dead bodies. The AI is also good sometimes flanking you and moving away as you get closer vs stay still or in the same area. They follow you around so you can't just sit in an area and smart enough to know if you're in a hallway that there are two entrances to get to you.. I played on normal mode and found it challenging. Saw a few hard mode streams and they were brutal if not challenging. Also saw unlockable modes on the PS4 gaming stream and saw things like 999 mode that , if im not mistaken, is your health and no continues with a hard difficulty (there is also another hard mode called UBER with Death incarnate being hard. Was game streaming for a buddy of mine and noticed time fly by (3-4 hours) so obvious it catches my attention. My buddy in the game stream who was watching agreed its fun to watch, and hes a big time FPS gamer so that in itself says a lot. He agreed on everything including AI being smart. It looks nice with graphics being sharp and crisp on 1080p /60FPS the world does suck you in.. Just don't expect anything mind blowing like the Uncharted series or Infamous 2nd son style graphics. Controls are responsive, quick and weapons feel right. CONS: I have no complaints other than not being able to cycle weapons with triangle nonstop. In Wolfenstein, you select two weapons and they become your switchable weapon with the triangle button. However, if you pick up a weapon he uses it making the two you selected as switchable using triangle no longer there. This makes me stop, reassign the two I wanted and continue. This is NOT GAMING BREAKING just my personal preference. They should just allow you to assign it once picked up and not automatically used. There have been incidents where I like a specific weapon and I grab another since it was in the way and forced to use it and when hitting triangle it just swaps between the one picked up and my 2ndary. Hitting R1 which pulls up a wheel of weapons takes time to select. This to me isnt a big deal UNLESS you are in a heavy fire fight area and grabbed another gun by walking over it. This only affects weapons NOT in your inventory at the time. Like I said the game is pretty awesome and a nice break from all the realistic shooters with real scenarios.
