I adore wolfenstein! Altho I don't play it myself- I like watching other people play more and game customisation
SOD and Wolf3d aren't all that different on the inside. SOD is just one long episode with bosses. Wolf3d is six short missions with a boss at the end. SOD begins its levels differently- always in an elevator shaft. In Wolf3d you have a fake elevator behind you. And so on. I think the thing that bothers me most about SOD is some of the graphics are more violent- more blood in the graphics. And some of the backgrounds aren't as bright as the Wolfenstein ones- that whole plot at the end about fighting the Death Angel is bending on science fiction/mythology.
In sticking up for SOD, I think the Ubermutant is cool
All you get is Scabbs in Wolf3d, you don't get to battle one of his "creations".
But the graphic changes from Wolf3d to SOD are nothing compared to SOD 2 and SOD 3, if you don't like SOD don't go near them because they're much stranger haha, most of the graphics are very dark and they change the objects- from keys to keycards, and the treasures's been remodelled too.
I agree that Wolf3d should've at least got a 4, if not 5. (I gave it 5) It still has a lot of playability without getting to caught up in its own graphics and carries a great plot to it- unlike Doom which always repulsed me. It started a genre of video games.
And for me personally I really like it because unlike other FPS, it has "limits"- you can't see 2 floors at once, nor climb stairways, nor crawl or shoot in other directions other than straight ahead. You can't "collect" things other than keys. You can't collect 50 types of guns and 50 types of ammo. I dislike 3d games that go into too much complexity and hence try to avoid 3D RPG/FPS gaming overall, however, this one game I love very much.
LOL holyman9, there's actually a Godmode function in debug mode of Wolf3d, and I've heard some people use this to knife a boss to death
