Wolfenstein, from the hour or so I've played of it, is pretty much exactly what you're expecting of a Wolfenstein game: A mixture of Nazi's and Lovecraft that has just enough tongue in its cheek to excuse the combination but not enough to make you feel entirely comfortable with it.
It's glossily presented and has a very physical feel to the action. There's a time-slowing mechaqnic and a sort of green mist that can be used to see alternative pathways through the place.
It's extremely messy as well...a glancing shot, apparently unscripted during open play, took the arm off one opponent and carried on into the head of another. It's gleefully messy and violent, with some incredibly powerful weapons, both ballistic and sci fi, and opponents that are dumb as hammers but fast and accurate when they do find you.
Great fun. Nothing new or original, but I enjoyed it.
