A couple of days ago I read a review of the game in a magazine. They pretty much agree with you, but give it slightly higher marks. I've always loved the Wolfenstein games (beginning with the very first one), and I'll probably get this one as well.
As for the sense of dread: For me, that's not that much of a drawkback actually. I think they kinda overdid it in Doom 3, and it's good if they have toned it down a little (though they probably overdid it in the wrong direction, if I follow your review).
Would you say it's a good old straightforward shooter? I've been looking for that for a long time.
