Manufacturer's Description
You are B.J. Blaskowitz, a bad-ass Army Ranger recruited into the Office of Secret Actions (OSA) tasked with escaping and then returning to Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to thwart Heinrich Himmler's occult and genetic experiments. Himmler believes himself to be a reincarnation of a 10th century dark prince, Henry the Fowler, also known as Heinrich. Through genetic engineering and the harnessing of occult powers, Himmler hopes to raise an unstoppable army to level the Allies once and for all.

You must first escape from imprisonment in the castle to report the strange creatures and happenings in and around Wolfenstein to the OSA. Your mission takes a drastic turn as you learn the depth of Himmler's plans and what you must do to defeat the evil he has unleashed.

This is what you have been trained for. Your surroundings will be dangerous and hostile. We are currently tracking activities believed to be associated with Himmler in locations throughout Germany including; villages overrun by the occult, hidden crypts, forests, air bases, secret weapons facilities, and genetic labs, to name only the few we are aware of. There are more, and you must find them.

Failure is not an option. If Himmler succeeds, the war is over for the Allies... and the war is over for everyone.

Customer Reviews

Best FPS since Half Life!
When Wolfenstein came out it had tough opposition in Medal Of Honor: Allied Assualt. Both were FPS games based on WW2, one serious, the other slightly camp - and Wolfenstien was all the better for it. Instead of plain realism (overrated in many games) it went for sheer playability, and therefore became a more enjoyable gamingg experience than MOHAA will ever be. Don't get me wrong MOHAA is a good game, but Wolfenstein is the FPS I have enjoyed most since the lengendary Half Life (soon to gain a sequel). This Wolfentstein game is actually the second - the originally often being credited as the game which spawned Doom. Looking back on it now it is actually quite a boring game, but the new version has taken the series to a completely new level. At this price it would be a crime to miss out on a FPS that while not revolutionary is certainly one of the most polished games in it's field - and a (...) good buy.

Correction to dec0de
Just for those of you that might have been put off be dec0de's reveiw.
He is incorrect, Enemy Territory is a completly seperate game and not a mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It was origonaly intended as an expansion to Castle Wolfenstein but the developers canceled it at the last miniute and some of the programers working on it decided to release it for free. You do not need Castle Wolfenstein to play Enemy Territory. It is well worth buying just for the online play as there is a huge fanbase out there always willing to give people new to the game a chance to learn.

Note on Enemy Territory
Contrary to what blaarghh says the enemy territory mod that was made free and is downloadable from the net does not require this game. However, ET is only a multiplayer game and in my opinion hardly compares to the brilliant Return to Castle Wolfenstein, so I strongly reccomend the purchase of this game - especially at such a bargain price!
