Well you just killed any enthusiasm I had for this game. I should be thanking you for the warning, but I'm too pissed. Here I was expecting a classic shooter, but no. It's just more of the same dumbed down crap we keep getting year after year. As if this game even needed dumbing down. It's just a simple shooter. Why why why with the health regen and magical arrow crap?

ughhhhh.

I want to see somebody make another old style shooter similar to Wolfenstein 3d, Duke Nukem 3d, Doom, etc.

I miss health packs, key cards, end level switches, etc.

Seems nowadays it's all about making some sort of cinematic action movie experience rather than a game. God forbid somebody be able to get lost and die in a video game. That would be a waste of time right? Sorry, I think I might be out of line with these comments. Just frustrated with the genre now.

Its a console first personal shooter, no need to say more. But its a not bad one, nice effects - especialy bullet time.

And what makes it a console FPS? There hasnt been any difference between PC and console FPS in years.

How about this. Let me do some work. I'll put one of the more entertaining levels to video. Give me some time. I'll make a new thread to make sure the title stands out.

After you see me kill half the German army by myself, you be the judge.

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.
