Stephen's Rating: 4/10

Rise of the Triad was originally meant to be an expansion pack to Wolfenstein 3D but was re-molded into a new game once the original project was cancelled.

Basic Plot

You play a member of a secret operative team who is trapped on an island full of cultists bent on destroying Los Angeles.

Gameplay

The gameplay was a fairly linear first person shooter similar to its predecessor Wolfenstein 3D. The game used an enhanced version of the Wolfenstein engine.

You could pick which character to play during the game which was a new mechanic.

Positives

None.

Negatives

There was nothing that really made this game stand out. It was a generic first person shooter without a very good story, and without the polish and consistency of its predecessor. It was also overshadowed by the release of DOOM.

It wasn't terrible but it was altogether unmemorable.

Memorable Moments

None.
