Wolfenstein: The New Order - PS3, 360, PS4, PC, Next XBOX

[Panta Rhei]

I am about halfway through and I am very conflicted. Sometimes I like it, other times I don't. But the game is big, take my word on it. I can see myself clock about 15 hours into it without getting everything.

The AI is crap. At times at least. Sometimes stealth is laughable easy. At other times enemies rush you but go RE5 on you. Thats not a glitch, but the behaviour of melee enemies, they just walk towards you and if you stay out of their range they won't do anything to you. But you will die after 3 or so strikes on Death Incarnate. The weapons, I don't have everything yet but they lack something. And

->Open Spoiler<-

you start naked after every chapter. Not keeping your weapons is not old school.

But the level design is fun. Its not a chore to scout a level for items. Its a HUGE step above a Killzone SF which some people defended for being 'open' and haters just being CoDified. In Wolf you never really feel you are lost even though there are multiple routes.

But in all honesty I can't see this game scoring high above the 70 mark. The gameplay isn't special, technically it isn't that sound, its even quite jaggy on Ps4 despite the rather low key visual splendor.

Thanks for the impressions, is the first half of the game better than the latter half as many seem to think?

Read your spoiler, that's not very sporting!

[Panta Rhei]

It does. The first few chapters were the best. I feel it gets progressively worse from there on. I dunno, nothing really amazes me. Don't stealth kill a commander and you get waves of enemies always finding you and while their movement is rather lame they do hit from afar. And I don't like the laser cutter this game relies heavily upon.

I might wrap the campaign up in a quicker fashion, and trade it once Watch Dogs comes out. Finding out that game doesn't deliver either.

Eurogamer gives it 6/10

[arcnas]

THat seems the lowest score, its hitting 8 in most other places. to bad for me if it wasnt good i pre orderd of the US store, as it was cheap.

[VR46]

Think I will wait for it to hit ?20 new or used, sounds like it's going to sell on the back of the Wolfenstein name more than anything else. Oh and the Doom beta.

Metro gave it a 9 http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/20/wolfen...scism-4733703/

7.8 from IGN
Mine should be back today

TotalBiscuit gives positive impressions too on PC version. Old skool run and gun.

Back on list to buy when cheap.

[VR46]

Reading a few reviews the scores seem higher than the text warrant to me, the IGN one for example.

Limited edition (physical) PC version is already down to ?22

It will be down to peanuts soon. Just need some patience.

[nonny]

It's a campaign only and it's around 10-12hours. Law dictates it'll be available pre-owned for cheaper in a matter of weeks.

Given the mixed reviews I've decided to hold off for around a month. I really don't need it urgently and so I'll be a tight git instead.

[BaronSqwelch]

Mine is already on the way! Will blast through it and sell it on fast! At least it was only 39quid...

[arcnas]

I just set it to Download from work from the US PSN store and its a massive 43.7 GB , those 500 GB hard drives are way to small.

[BIG EDD]

Same here ?39 will enjoy it and sell it on
As for the hard drive, thats why I changed mine to a 1TB hybrid, gives me some breathing space for a bit
