9/10
Start the war machine, the Reich will rise!.

Warning: Spoilers
In the game Himmler is up to no good as usual along side his fellow Nazi's, only this time it is far worse than the usual murderous escapades. He is trying to resurrect a long and supposedly forgotten Saxon God to help create a dark force to conquer the Allies that will sooner or later be knocking at the door of Berlin.

And here enters your character, an operative of the OSS, that's sent behind enemy lines to throw a spanner, or five, into the works of one of Himmler's personal projects the "SS Paranormal Division" and their plan to hold the sacred ceremony to resurrect the demonic Saxon, Prince Heinrich I, which in the end if successful will literally be the beginning of the end as he will unleash an army of darkness on the world.

The atmosphere through the entire game is a creepy like atmosphere and also one of war. It blends the two of them perfectly well, with no fuss. The score for the game is the highlight as each music piece matches what is going on on screen. The controls are fine as well as I use keyboard and mouse, not a pad. I have lost count of how many times I have played this game and finished it, I have even downloaded single player levels people have made with the level editor. This adds tenfold to the experience of the already excellent single player mode in the game.

If another Return to Castle Wolfenstein is going to be made, as I have heard rumours there is another one on the way. They had better keep all that is good about this one in the next one.

Thanx for a killer game to play well done to those who made it!.
