Price Paid:  $39.00 from Blockbuster

Summary:
Features:
RTCW offers single-player, cooperative two-player, and SystemLink network games, as well as full-on Xbox Live support.
Brilliant online play up to 16 players with lots of game modes to chose from
Wide weapons variety some of the biggest i've ever seen
Graphic up's and down's are present through the game
New Sound engines make distinctions between surfaces

Overall
As a single-player game, other titles such as Halo and Medal of Honor are superior both in story and design. Even the visuals and sound aren't as cutting edge as they were when the PC version. If your a fan of the original the grab a copy, otherwise the hype brought about by this game was a tad overrated, but the online play makes up for it all for now. At leaste Untill Counter-Strike or SOF2 prevail there online capabilites and crush the competition.

The good:
Nicley done sound engine
Vireaty of weapons and levels
Large multi-player capacity
Extremly fast framerate
Co-op single player game play

The bad:
Couple of bad grapical levels
Zombies get repeitive
Mouths don't move when charters talk
Same old music in every level
Sound effect could be better

Price Paid:  $54.00 from Wal Mart

Summary:
Overall Summary, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a really great game. I finished the game in around a week playing for like a half hour to an hour a day. The things that hurt the game is the way the game tends to drag out and the missions may seem too easy or too boring for others. The XBox Live feature is a added bonus for the game as well.......I have yet to try that feature and play with others online. The AI is great, the controls are good too just takes geting used to that's all and the Nazi theme is a little stale as it has been used in past games. Overall, I would say this is a 4.5 out of 5.

Summary:
I never had a chance to play the original for the PC, but when I mentioned to friends that they had and liked it, I had to try out the X Version. Have to say, this game has convinced me that the XBox is worth every penny paid.
