The head of Hitlers SS, Heinrich Himmler, has sent a team into the area and were off to find out why.While the mission is fairly simple and doesnt cover anything new, it does have a certain charm and does create a beginning to the whole story.We have to ask why the PC story didnt have this mission and the easy answer was that there wasnt time (or money to create it).
While that could be true for many games, the real reason in this particular game was that tradition states that the game begins when already captured and the first order of business is escape from Castle Wolfenstein. With a more expanded story line though, there were probably nagging doubts of how our hero got there in the first place and two years later when the console versions were created, this hole was fixed. Of the two, the X-Box version seems the most advanced which is probably due to the better spec of the hardware and the advantage to both it and PCs using Intel processors. ![]() The PC version of RtCW included the treasure because it was fun to search for and because it was a required trope of Wolfenstein franchise. The problem was that when you found it, it didnt give the player any advantage. The console versions gave the options to strengthen the player at the end of the level as a reward for finding treasure. That doesnt mean that you cant get a hold of a copy of RtCW for the PS2 (named Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection) but there are other options. Playing PS2 games on a PC require three things: an emulator program; a copy of the PS2 ROM and a copy of the PS2 game. Return To Castle Wolfenstein Free Program NamedIt seems that the most stable and popular emulator is a free program named PCSX2, so that was the one that I used. Copy write law prohibits the distribution of the PS2 operating system ROM but there are again two options. Return To Castle Wolfenstein Software Is OutThe legal one is to download the ROM from an existing PS2 machine and again software is out there on the internet to help with that process. The less than legal approach is to search the internet for a copy of the ROM and it isnt too difficult to find one. If you really have to go that way, be careful that you dont get a virus or worse Finally you need a copy of the game itself. Using the CDROM, you can create an ISO copy file and run that in PCSX2 but there are probably copies of the PS2 version of RtCW out there if you have to go looking. Once up and running, it is probably a good idea to configure your keyboard to match the PS2 controller though using a PS2-like controller for the PC may be a better option. There are also some sites and YouTube videos of specific sound and video options that can be adjusted if you are finding the play choppy. Stop the video at 2:04 as this video link has all RtCW films. ![]() A second military man stands to the side studying a map on the wall.
