Playing the Xbox VersionĬurrently the only way to play the X-Box version is to find a copy of RtCW for the Xbox (named Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War) and play it in an original Xbox or probably an Xbox 360 in emulation mode. The console versions gave the options to strengthen the player at the end of the level as a reward for finding treasure. The problem was that when you found it, it didn’t give the player any advantage.

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. Both versions also made better use of the result of treasure finds. 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.

With the success of id Software games, several companies had gained expertise in porting id’s games to the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PS2 Nerve Software ported to the X-Box while Raster Productions did the PS2 port. 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. 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. We have to ask why the PC story didn’t have this mission and the easy answer was that there wasn’t time (or money to create it). While the mission is fairly simple and doesn’t cover anything new, it does have a certain charm and does create a beginning to the whole story. I had originally planned to only work through the PC version levels of RtCW as it was the original and didn’t really advance the plot but with the existence of a decent PS2 emulator for the PC, I was at least curious to try the Ras el-Hadid (or Mission 0) levels.
