Wolfenstein 3D

"A gun and Nazis to shoot, that's all you need!"

~ A few years ago I played Wolfenstein 3D on computer, I liked it. Now they're busy with porting like 40% of all old games to GBA. Well, this version of WS3D is the same as the PC version. You're some guy that kills nazis, dogs of nazis and so on.

The main goal is to find a key and the door to the next level, on your way, try to shoo as much enemies as you can to gain some score. This game has a few difficulties so you can replay it on a harder difficulty if you beat the game like in 5 hours. There are several weapons like a rifle or a shotgun, a knife and your bare hands. If you're hit you can hope there's a health package around. In some rooms you'll find treasures like crowns chests with gold and stuff.

There are some secret passageways so be sure to check out every painting on the wall, most of the time it's a painting of Hitler or the cross. When you fire a gun you hear a pretty realistic shot and a doors goes open is nice too. When soldiers notice you they will something. Always beware if you hear a door going open because most likely someone wants to shoot you in the back. And when you open a door yourself beware of the dogs because they won't hesitate to bite you. You can kill them with some bullets :) .

Most of the game is the same as in the PC version, too bad they didn't add something new, if you want to speak about a pure 100% port, this is one, nothing new, same bad graphics and music. The game has a lot of levels and that's good so people will be busy for a while so maybe the creators can make a second Wolfenstein game on the Game Boy Advance that's completely new and doesn't have these pixelized graphics.

When you beat the game nothing new is unlocked, the only new thing you can do is beat it again on a harder difficulty but that gets bored after a while. ~
