Wow, not bad review wise. Might have to grab it.
Can't get full reviews at work but Google searches seem to hint that it is a 15-20 hour of gameplay type game. Not bad for an FPS.
The engine is terrible. Cool game though, really a throwback. I nearly can't get over how awful that engine is though. It's nearly as bad as Source if not more so.
I like it a lot and managed to pick up a reserved pre-order that was not picked up from the store and avoided the huge download. Registered for the D00M Beta which for me was a big incentive along with liking D00M, RTCW, etc. But I am having a problem based on my setup and past experience and lack there of now. I bought the original Xbox on launch day back in 2001. Played it a couple of years, then switched to a few PC games. Then stopped playing anything for several years. Skipped the 360 entirely. I have a 50" 720p Samsung DLP TV. It's old, but works well. The problem I am having is the lack of detail for the things that pop up on screen. Like how to do a sprint slide. It's basic, but I couldn't read how to use what combo to do it. Even the help menu icons are hard to read. I'm wondering if it looks the same on s 1080p TV. I used a USB controller in Skyrim for PC so I am familiar with the controller and from original Xbox, just am having a hard time deciphering the game specific functions. I am only 12' back from it. Even if I walk up close to the screen it's too blurry to clearly see which button does what. Anyone else having this issue or is everyone using a 1080p for years now so it's non-issue or is it still blurry? I don't want to buy a new TV until this one dies. Plus, I just shelled out for a 27" 2060X1440 monitor and just paid $399+ tax for Xbox One plus the game. I opted for Xbox as I like not having to sit in a chair and surround sound is nice in my living room.
I doubt it's just you. I noticed that a lot of the text in this game is very small for a console game. It weird because that is usually one of the drawbacks of trying to play PC games on the big screen. They should know better than to make console games with text that tiny.
I went and picked up a used copy of COD Ghosts. They actually stuck an image of a labeled controller which is easy to read as well as understand. Just started looking around at the text info and it's fine. Wolfenstein is the culprit. My TV is just fine.
Yeah, I have a hard time reading some of the stuff on Wolfenstein as well. They just made all the fonts too small. Reading some of the map info is hard as well - I don't understand why they did not make the maps zoomable/pannable.
I remember many people getting motion sickness even in the original Wolfenstein 3d, probably because everything moves so fast. I tried to calculate B.J. running speed in it once and at 70 FPS he actually runs at between 61mph (98kmph) and 75mph (121kmph), if you estimate 3 meters and 8 feet as a base length for each tile. Almost twice as fast as the fastest 100 metre record in the world :awe:Anyone have issues of getting a bit dizzy with this game?

This game is a great mix between new and old. Good reviews and actually lived up to those reviews, I'm glad I bought it. Wish it had more replay value though.
Nitemare mode on Doom 2 was the best! It took me around 5000 times before I beat level 2 without saving but I finally did it. I think it took me 2 years before I actually figured out how to beat Level 30... I kept trying to hit the brain with BFG as the platform was going up before figuring out what I was really supposed to doI plan on running through it twice. But that is about it. I wonder if on easy mode if it is enough fun to do over and over again. That's how it was with the original doom and quake games. I never cared much for the original Wolfenstein though.
