Set during World War II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein finds the Nazis dabbling in the black arts in an effort to raise a demonic prince from the dead and create an army of uber soldats. Naturally, Blazkowicz is the only thing that can stop this supernatural onslaught, so he's sent behind enemy lines in an effort to stop Himmler and his evil lieutenant Deaths Head. On the surface, the single-player game seems like pure gold. The graphics look great and the catacomb levels are non-stop action as the armies of the undead are intent on sucking your brains out and serving them up on Melba toast. This is not the longest game in the world although this special edition does go some way to rectifying that, containing as it does the original game, new multi-player s, the WolfRadiant editor, the making of Return to Castle Wolfenstein feature AVI and the full version of the game that started it all, Wolfenstein 3-D. The best thing about Return to Castle Wolfenstein is its team-based multi-player mode. Each multi-player adventure features Axis vs. Allies and both sides offer four character classes: engineer (removes obstacles), medic (heals and revives team-mates), lieutenant (calls in air strikes and replenishes ammo) and soldier (only class able to use sniper s, flamethrowers and other unusual weapons). The game includes only eight multiplayer s, but they are all perfectly designed, and in order to be successful teams have to work together. The result is a great gaming experience that fans of Counter-Strike or the "Day of Defeat" mode for Half-Life will really appreciate. Graphically, Return to Castle Wolfenstein looks amazing. It uses the powerful Quake III engine to great effect and the character models, explosions and lighting effects are all perfectly done. --Jason Trebegger
