![]() The architecture was in depth, the textures were beautiful and the overlying gray tone really gave it that WWII feel. This game was a blast in the single player mode. Neutral-While this game may be offensive to the Christian psyche, I have always held the position that when you partake in secular entertainment, you ought to know what to expect. I believe rtcw is one of the greatest games I have played in a long time… My Ratings: You need to review the game also on a basis of comparison to other current games on the market (imho). I do agree that it has some bad parts in it but it is a fps (first person shooter) game after all such as other hugely successful games (half life and quake and unreal tourny to mention a few). Positive-I'm a lan gamer (network games) and I've been Christian since I was about 13 but I disagree with your review of the game. It has excellent game play, and online map building utilities that will ensure its continued presence on the market for a long time to come. Although violent, it does promote team skills, strategy, and endless hour of gameplay. These are completely gone in the multiplayer section. I have to agree that the story based portion of the game is full of occult references. Second, a Multiplayer format with a great interface. Positive-Return to Castle Wolfenstien is composed of really two separate games. But I doubt even in Wewelsberg that they tried to reanimate the dead. Even though there were occult references in some of the imagery-it was just an exaggeration of what Hitler was “into.” In the mid 40s the OSS added a new branch, the DSR (Department of Special Research) to investigate Hitler's fascination with the occult. The graphics are good but you can forget running it on anything less than Pentium III. Neutral-I find that this game, while bearing a striking resemblance to the Medal of Honour series and even some Indiana Jones material is average. Why must software developers put so much time and effort into a game only to tarnish it with a grotesque and offensive skin. As a Christian I can not recommend this to anyone persons under 18 or easily offended. On the other it is morally reprehensible. Well programmed and refreshingly bug free. On the one hand it is a great piece of entertainment. It?s not done very well and appears like a bit of an afterthought. Some attempt is made to include civilians who can provide information and should not be killed. Indeed it seems as though Nazis were only included because the producer needed a group of people to kill that would be “acceptable”. This is not a game rooted in history despite its World War Two setting. The flame thrower, whilst graphically amazing, leaves an uneasy feeling after its use. This is surprising given the huge variety of guns you can obtain. These creatures then possess Satanic powers far deadlier than any weapon you picked up from the soldiers you have killed. One is treated to the sight Nazi scientists bringing life to the dead. There is a staggering amount of occult imagery within some of the levels. The basic premise is that the Nazis are creating an army of un-dead zombie super soldiers and only you can stop them. Now the bad news: from a Christian perspective this game borders on outright offensive. Unlike their “Star Trek” game the enemies are given enough artificial intelligence not to run straight into a hail of your bullets. Ravensoft the team behind the equally impressive “ Elite Force” has used the “Quake 3” engine to great effect. The gore is never excessive despite a massive body count. It has a good learning curve ensuring the player never feels out of their depth as well as a wide variety of (mostly) authentic weapons to dispatch the bad guys. The graphics and sound are both excellent. “Return to Castle Wolfenstein” is a hugely playable game.
