Between its labyrinth maps, dreary gunplay and enemy design, along with repetition that will break some of the most patient players, this is a game that's not worth your time.
Wolfenstein 3D gave birth to the first person shooter genre, but failed to deliver a great game. The remake offers, at most, a little hint of nostalgia and some form of history lessons, but can't hide the fact that the game nowadays isn't fun enough to actually pay for it. And besides that, there are plenty of good alternatives.

The action is satisfying and there are plenty secrets to find. It's definitely dated and flawed, but this is a game you play for its nostalgic value.

Mostly and PRETTY mid for the first wolfenstein game in my opinion but it was before modern 3d but really it was boring

This game is great because we get to shoot N a z i s, and it's a great game to turn your brain off to, but especially after experiencing this game on DOS, it's not as easy to get into as some of its contemporaries like DOOM or Duke Nukem. The game is certainly unique in its control scheme and its presentation, but in my opinion, it's not something I would come back to. I can shoot N a z i s in the newer Wolfenstein games.

Дед всех шутеров. Ребята из ID посмотрели на игры от первого лица в те годы и попробовали максимально ускорить геймплей. Для этого, Джон "Движок" Кармак написал простой и быстрый движок, выкинув всё лишнее, что могло уменьшить кол-во кадров в секунду: никакого освещения, только текстурированные стены, цветная заливка вместо пола и потолка, минимум разнообразия и деталей. Играть в такое сейчас стоит только для ознакомления используя переписанный движок ECWolf. +популяризатор жанра шутер -мало контента -лютое однообразие -игра сильно затянута -много садистских лабиринтоподобных уровней

The addition of some sort of tie-in to the new game is nice to see too, for those of you that plan on picking it up. There's a lot of content in the game too, and for the price you're paying, I'd say it's certainly worth checking out, even for long time fans that have already played the game to death.

If you played the original version of this game then you will expect nothing less... Its complete... nothing added... nothing removed. This is the Wolenstein I grew up with and love.

Wolfenstein 3D is not a first person shooter, it's The First Person Shooter.

Way too slow and boring by today's standards. [Aug 2009, p.75]

As a prototype of all that's come since, Wolfenstein is interesting - but not every antique is valuable. [Aug 2009, p.102]
