Official Wolfenstein thread (PS3/XBOX360)

I'll buy this for the multiplayer might not be the best game in the world but I'm sure it'll be pretty decent.
 
Any reviews on this been released yet? It's out in 3 days time and it's a little suspect that I haven't read anything conclusive about it yet

May have to cancel my pre order....
 
A definite demo download first for me. So many good games are coming out this fall. Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3, Tekken 6... Should be a good end to the year. :D
 
Heres a review from the Guardian, I dont really take scores that seriously anymore, its 4/5 stars, but the review seems very positive. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/aug/17/wolfenstein-xbox-ps3-pc

This part especially got me intrigued:
But as one of the games that created the whole FPS genre, Wolfenstein will always have a place in this cynical heart. Besides, there's more to this revamp than just a sense of nostalgia. It's tough. The missions are genuinely challenging, wide-ranging and add some enjoyable depth to the standard central plot.
 
It got a bad review elsewhere (found it on Google)

Multiplayer got handed off to a developer who've not even done any games before, same review said that the game just felt rushed and lacked polish.

It's no Return to Castle Wolfenstein, sadly.
 
:(

I was hoping this would bridge the gap until Forza 3 and COD : MW2 came out...

EDIT :- Does not sound to bad. Multiplayer sounds like a let down.

What's Hot:

* Aside from a few graphical hitches the single player campaign looks great and runs almost flawlessly.
* A nice tight control scheme is always welcome. Wolfenstein controls a lot like a Call Of Duty title.
* A good variety of weapons, all with their own unique look and feel.
* Quite a lengthy campaign, especially for a first person shooter.
* Special power you unlock through story progression help break up the monotony of traditional shooters.
* All weapons and powers are fully upgradeable.
* There is a ton of hidden items and collectibles throughout the campaign, including gold needed to upgrade weapons, giving you ample reason to replay missions.
* Almost every mission is started from various points in a central town, which provides an interesting take on the story progression.
* Before finishing the game you will be able to replay previous missions to clean up hidden items ans such.
* Multiplayer launches with eight maps, all of which offer something unique from the others.
* Money you earn in multiplayer can be used to upgrade weapons, giving you incentive to continue playing

What's Not:

* Voice acting is not very good.
* The story is pretty standard fare, with only a few (predictable) plot twists thrown in.
* Levels do start to feel similar towards the end of the campaign.
* On the lower difficulties enemy AI is almost laughable.
* Multiplayer only offers three game modes, two of which are almost identical.
* No party system makes playing with friends difficult. Private matches are available, but no XP will be gained from them.
* The graphics in multiplayer are a big downgrade from the single player.
* While you might have fun for a while, the multiplayer doesn't offer anything special that would keep you coming back.

Just got my email that my copy has been shipped...hoping that this is decent as i remember the wolfenstein games on the pc.
 
I was really looking forward to this, but when I realised it was about to be released without hardly any fanfare, I figured it might be mediocre at best. So I'm skipping it.

The only thing that would have made it a pre-order was if the MP was essentially new W:ET (and as good as).
