Wolfenstein
Wolfenstein
Wolfenstein, développé par Raven Software et édité par Activision, est sorti le 18 août 2009 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PC. Ce jeu de tir, fonctionnant sur le moteur id Tech 4, est la suite directe de Return to Castle Wolfenstein et de Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. L'intrigue se déroule dans la ville fictive d'Isenstadt durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, où les nazis instaurent la loi martiale pour extraire des cristaux de Nachtsonne afin d'accéder à la dimension du Soleil Noir. B.J. Blazkowicz, présenté avec une apparence civil et chevelure sombre, est chargé de retrouver le médaillon Thule et quatre cristaux pour empêcher leurs projets. Le joueur affronte divers ennemis, des soldats aux ninjas, à l'aide d'armes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et utilise le médaillon pour accéder au Voile et obtenir des pouvoirs comme le ralentissement du temps ou un bouclier, drainant une énergie à recharger en des points spécifiques. La version PC intègre la protection SecuROM v7.39.0006.
Le titre a reçu un accueil critique mitigé, avec un score Metacritic de 74. GamingTrend a salué un mode solo captivant accompagné d'un multijoueur de qualité, tandis que Game Chronicles a qualifié le jeu de mélange réussi entre mémoire old-school et idées modernes. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont apprécié les armes et la mécanique des dimensions, regrettant toutefois la qualité du boss final, et un avis Steam de 2009 note un manque de passion lors de sa sortie sans juger l'histoire mauvaise.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Compelling single player with a fresh take on things doesn’t happen every day. It’s just that much better when it comes bundled with a fantastic multiplayer experience to boot. »

Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This is a fun sequel to the Xbox/PS2 game "Return to Castle Wolfenstein". It features open-ended maps with story missions, optional objectives and several items to find. As you explore the world, you'll discover various firearms, weapon upgrades, special powers and collectibles. A major highlight of the game are the boss fights which can be tough. If you're a fan of WW II first-person shooters, then you'll be entertained. I would rate this with a 7.7 out of 10. »
« Bastante infravalorado, me gustaron las armas, la mecánica de las dimensiones y el diseño loco de los enemigos, aunque el jefe final apesto. »
« This reboot features expansive levels with an open-ended mission structure. It's a first-person shooter packed with various weapons, upgrades and collectibles. The story is a good one, the action is terrific and the boss fights are memorable. Unfortunately, I did not get to experience the online multiplayer since the servers were discontinued. Still, this is worth getting just for the campaign. It's like a supernatural "Call of Duty" packed with strange powers and side-objectives. I would rate it with an 8 out of 10 »
« This reboot is pretty much "Call of Duty" mixed with the supernatural. You're given an open-world structure with plenty of good story missions and fun side-objectives. The action can get somewhat repetitive, but the story is a good one and the numerous weapons (all can be upgraded) are great fun to use. Also, the boss fights are challenging and memorable. If you're in the mood for a fulfilling bloody shooter, look no further. I would rate this with a 7.7 out of 10. »
« Wolfenstein 2009 is a very controversial shooter. On the one hand, Raven simply took the mechanics of the first parts of Call of Duty and built it into the style and lore of Wolfenstein, on the other hand, this is one of the best examples of how to make B-games in general. Wolfenstein does not claim anything, it is not AAA, here, in general, everything is done at the average level of the end of the 2000s. But it's nice to play in 2023 as well. The shooter mechanics are excellent, it's nice to shoot from weapons. The history of timing is also optimal - no more than 12 hours. The game does not seem short, but it does not have time to get tired of the final. Yes, a pseudo-discovered world is rather superfluous and fits little into the gameplay, but it allows the player to feel at least some freedom, given the chamber nature of the mission. Wolfenstein 2009 took place after the trilogy from MachineGames and this did not prevent me from enjoying it. Great project, just don't forget it's not AAA. »
« Wolfenstein 2009 is certainly one of those games that just kind of boring to play There isn't really anything to stand out. It doesn't feel good to shoot in the weapons feel kind of week and that's just not really any interesting characters of stuff going on. It's just kind of nothing experience all the way around »
« Wolfenstein is a unique spin on the iconic FPS franchise that is enjoyable in my opinion. The game uses a new form of powers known as the Veil,allowing you to slow down time,see through walls etc.There are also enemies that have the same powers as you,making the game feel more like a survival-horror game at times,which is a nice change of pace as are the anti-gravity **** gunplay is solid but could have used **** AI isn't very good **** weapon selection is great,and the upgrade system is good too.However,the boss fights and later levels are designed terribly. The graphics are solid,and the framerate is fine too,but the game suffers from long load times on the 360. The sound design and soundtrack are quite poor though. Overall,Wolfenstein 2009 is a good FPS with some innovative ideas,but lacks the full polish to be considered truly great. »
« Wolfenstein is a good shooter . Wolfenstein much better than Wolfenstein The New Order . Normal Graphics for 2009 and amazing , awesome and interesting storyline and nice gameplay . This is best game of the 2009 in my opinion . Good shooter and action . 8/10 . »
