Wolfenstein 3D

Product description ------------------- You know the heard round the world? You could consider Wolfenstein 3-D to be the gaming version of that. That first from BJ Blazkowitz hered countless games over the years including a revisit to the castle nine years later and this faithful GBA port. While the original was preceded on PCs by its cousin Catacombs 3-D, Wolfenstein 3-D had a much greater impact on the industry and gamers making it one of the most influential games of all times. Along with its younger brother DOOM, Wolf 3-D popularized the 3D FPS, and started a new revolution in gaming. .com ---- The year is 1943. You are William "B.J." Blazkowicz, the Allies' bad boy of espionage. Your mission is to infiltrate the Nazi fortress and find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust, the Nazi's blueprint for building the perfect army. Captured in the attempt, you're taken to a Nazi prison where you await execution. However, you know where the plans are kept, and the Allies face a great defeat if you don't escape and risk the horrors of the prison known as Wolfenstein. Playing as an escaped prisoner in a Nazi war prison, you will move smoothly through a 3-D world full of guards, snarling canines, and rooms packed with Nazi treasure. With 60 action-packed levels full of secret passages and hidden rooms, Wolfenstein 3D for Game Boy Advance will appeal to audiences from the novice to the experienced. Note: This is a rare M-rated GBA game, and is not appropriate for those under 17.

BAM!'s Game Boy Advance conversion is pretty much exactly the same as the seminal PC shooter, and old-skool purists will be weeping tears of pure nostalgia when they see Wolf's brick walls and turquoise doors. For the uninitiated, the game's a maze-set first-person shooter with 60-odd levels, four weapons, and four difficulty levels; the of the game is to wipe out Castle Wolfenstein's Nazi henchmen and make your escape. The controls are dead simple--turn with the D-pad, strafe with the shoulder buttons, shoot with A, open doors with B, change weapons with Select. The graphics and sound seem basic when compared to most of the GBA's other titles, but the gameplay's as good as it ever was. Mowing down Nazis--and their dogs--then collecting their treasure and finding secret stashes of loot and packs may not be the most cerebral of pursuits, but it's undeniably good fun. The only real downside is the lack of midlevel checkpoints--having to start the level from scratch each time you die can be very irritating. But perhaps the most lasting impression you'll take away from Wolfenstein 3D is a sense of wonder that PC games have evolved so far technically in just 10 years--just what will we be playing on our handhelds in 2012? --Rikki Price -- .co.uk See more ( javascript:void(0) )
