Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a first person shooter computer game published by Activision and released in 2001. The single player game was developed by Gray Matter Interactive and Nerve Software developed its multiplayer mode. Id Software, the creators of the original game entitled Wolfenstein 3D, oversaw the development of the game and were credited as executive producers.
There are many different versions of the game. The Collector's Edition comes in metal case and includes promotional materials. The Game of the Year Edition comes with the original Wolfenstein 3D and game demos. The Platinum Edition comes with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a stand-alone expansion.
In 2003, the game was ported to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game consoles and subtitled as Operation Resurrection and Tides of War, respectively. Both console versions include a series of prequel single player missions where the main character, William Joseph "BJ" Blazkowicz (Agent Two) and his partner Agent One operate in Nazi-occupied Egypt / North Africa. The two player co-op mode is exclusive to consoles and allows the second player to play as Agent One (later tortured to death in the Wolfenstein castle/prison of Mission 1). The Xbox version has the addition of online play via Xbox Live.
The game is powered by a heavily-modified version of the Quake III engine.
