Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is genuinely funny – the Fuhrer himself makes a hilarious cameo appearance at one point – but it doesn't just raise laughs from the venality of triumphant Nazis (although it does explore the Nazi psyche in brilliantly satirical fashion). You play the series' perennial hero, BJ Blazkowicz (dubbed Terror-Billy by the Nazis), who - as players of the first game will know - takes a blast from a grenade, which killed his nemesis General Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse.
#Wolfenstein 2 review series
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus picks up exactly where The New Order left off, but does it elevate the single-player series to an all-time high? What's the story? See it now on Amazon US - See it now on Amazon UKīut a more relevant point of reference would be 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, which introduced a The Man In The High Castle-style scenario, in which Hitler's cohorts won WW2, subjugating the rest of the world (and particularly the US).And in the process, it offers a mightily impressive illustration of how far videogames have come in the intervening decades.Īmazingly, in certain aspects, Wolfenstein 2 manages to remain true to the original: for example, you still have an armour system which absorbs incoming fire before your health starts depleting, and you can still ransack shards of armour from dead Nazis. Its bloodline can be traced back to the first ever proper FPS: 1992's Wolfenstein 3D. (Pocket-lint) - If you seek pedigree from your first-person shooters, you can't beat Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
