You’d think slapping a classic shooting game onto a hand held gaming device and giving it a few touchscreen controls would make it a cheap and crappy port. Falsch, meinem Freund. OSA uber agent BJ Blazkowicz (you) are trapped in Castle Wolfenstein and you have to shoot your way through 60 levels of soldiers and cranky dogs to get free. The game includes the 6 episodes (10 levels each) from the original 1992 release for PC. It has all your favorite first-person shooter trappings: health packs, food ammo, hidden passages, weapons to pick up and splattering blood. To ramp it up for the iPhone and iPod Touch, an overhead map view has been added as well as touchscreen controls via small icons for both moving and shooting. You can also use the tilt controls to move and have a slightly better view of approaching opponents including soldiers, level bosses, cranky dogs and the like. The tiny movement icon works well with it on one side of the screen and the firing icon on the other (and a recent update allows you to move the draf the controls to any position on the screen) and tapping the weapon icon to switch. The graphics work pretty well on this smaller screen and the overhead map is one of those additions you wish was in every early Wolfenstein game. Also a nice touch is that it will save at any point, so when you hit that pesky round button by accident or out of habit, you’ll pick up exactly where you left off.
