Wolfenstein 3D clone? I think not. This is what Wolfenstein 3D should have been.

Very Fun, And Better Than Doom.
First, I'd like to say that I will review each faction of the game individually, because each faction has different values. The gameplay is fun and interesting. The controls are easy to learn and use. Howeve... Read Full Review

This was way cooler than Wolfenstein.
This is wolfenstein in space pretty much. Its your typical get key kill monster go to locked door, and then get to the next level. The graphics were better than wolfenstein, and the weapons were better animated. The g... Read Full Review
