Most of the criticism was aimed at the new graphics and level design.
The end-of-game sequence is identical to that of the original game.īoth mission packs received negative reviews from players. As the new level layouts don't match the old ones, this leads to the demo player getting stuck. The demos use the same recorded movement data from Spear of Destiny demos in the new mission pack levels. Par times are not changed for each level, whether or not they're appropriate for the level's actual length. The boss level text is identical to that of the original game, listing the replaced boss and not the new one (for example, on the end screen Submarine Willy is called Trans Grosse). The same 21-level pattern is followed, and the same general storyline, including transportation to an otherworldly dimension. The treasure is replaced by various types of weapon components. The new German phrases that the various guards yell are intended to be more realistic than before. This is due to the fact that the only changes allowed by the engine are cosmetic swaps. All "new" enemies have exactly the same characteristics as the enemies they replace: Even the Bat has the characteristics of the original Mutant. Basic enemies such as guards, dogs, SS and Officers remain, but wear different colours. The same four weapons exist and function identically, though their appearance and sounds are changed. This is similar to Final Doom, which is likewise essentially two remakes of Doom 2 (but which don't re-design the enemies' appearances).
The mission packs resemble many fan-made mods of the original Wolfenstein, in that they take Spear of Destiny and change the appearances and sounds of all enemies, items, and wall features, as well as designing completely new levels.
