Story:

Europe, 1960. The Nazis turned the tide of the war using a new kind of mysterious, advanced technology. Using unrelenting force and intimidation, they have brought even the most powerful of nations to their knees. The Nazi regime now rules the globe with an iron fist. Play as the one man who dares go up against the world’s most formidable military. You are B.J. Blazkowicz, the American war hero. You are the only man capable of rewriting history.

The story is quite good and it influences from the weapons design, to interesting settings where the action takes place. You don't have auto-heal like many other shooters have. You can dual-wield assault and sniper rifles.

Pros: frequent option for stealth.

Rating: before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig a mass grave, for all your enemies.

Recommendation: solid FPS, so yes!
