But, of course, there are problems (more than the town's name referencing Isengard, from LoTR). While I can't prove it (and I dug through the official TF2 wiki), one could easily splice a few of the Spy's lines together into "That Man is a Spy!"įirstly, just where the hell is this game set? From what is immediately apparent in the game and some auxiliary information from the wiki, Wolfenstein (2009) is set in a city called Isenstadt, probably in southern Germany. As Ross touches at, this is the problem with setting the damn game in a region and not hiring voice actors who have at least a basic grasp of the language.Īnd while on the topic of voice acting, I'm very sure the infamous "That man is a Spy!" line is stolen from Team Fortress 2. ![]() But she fucked it up (eye-zen-SH-dot pronounce in one go).

But even with a very minor understanding of the German language and history, I was able to tell there were some serious research crimes going on here. Typically, it would make sense to stop there, right? And, to boot, the story just isn't that interesting.
