Since the game is unchained from the obligations that history can put on games, this gave the developers the freedom to create a wholly-unique art style for RTCW that mixes science fiction, horror, and World War II history all into one. Not only are the environments in the game fun to explore, they are also, astonishingly, pretty easy on the eyes, too. I always found myself checking to make sure I got all the secrets, which the game conveniently made you aware of before the end of each level. Each level has hidden caches of weapons or treasure stashed away, and the treasure can be turned in at the end of each level for a special bonus such as full armor going into the next mission or full ammo. Tides Of War takes full advantage of these wide-open levels not only to allow for stealth or a full-frontal assault, but to make them more than just shooting galleries. I was actually spooked on multiple occasions. Mixing good old fashioned war fiction and espionage with a dash of horror, the RTCW will have your heart pounding because of a gun fight one minute, then because of an encounter with an out-of-this-world creature the next. The story really isn’t much to chat about, something that isn’t exactly out of place, but developer Gray Matter did use the loose framework that is the narrative to create an atmosphere I still to this day have never experienced in a World War II shooter. makes stranger and stranger paranormal and scientific discoveries, while shooting quite a few Nazis, scientific experiments, and undead ghouls along the way.

Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Tides Of War tells the story of American special operative William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, who is sent to investigate rumors surrounding occult rituals and strange science performed by Nazi Heinrich Himmler’s SS Paranormal Division. After nearly a decade of advancement in the realm of first-person shooters, from structure to controls, how does the game hold up? Quite well, actually. With no one exactly being all that pleased about Sony and Microsoft’s announcements that neither of their consoles would be backwards compatible, and with Wolfenstein: The New Order being announced not too long ago, I figured now was a better time than ever to dust off the old Xbox and give Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Tides Of War another go.
