Soldier of Fortune

Pros: Amazingly realistic gore.
Cons: Unimaginative areas. Dull weaponry. Enough with the friggin Quake 3 engine already!

I waited a long time for Soldier of Fortune 2. I had heard some very good things about the original, yet somehow never managed to play it. I saw the game for sale at my local software store and managed to resist the temptation for exactly two days...

Pros: If you like blood, there's lots of blood...
Cons: But this game is mainly built on the blood.

Unless, of course, you’re a Soldier of Fortune.

Raven’s latest offering into the First-Person Shooter fold, Soldier of Fortune 2 puts you into the moustache of John Mullins. You must fight your way through terrorist threats, shooting,...

Pros: great graphics, great physics engine, great gameplay, INSANE GORE!
Cons: pretty heavy (good options to fix it though), no pixel-shader

Intro:
If you are familiar with the first version of SOF you will remember it was quite a bloody game, with easy movement and tons of action.. Well, I can tell you the second version has exactly the same feel while playing, and they improved...

Pros: Insanely violent; Insanely good-looking; Insanely wicked multiplayer.
Cons: Insanely resource-intensive; Insanely difficult.

The end of this review contains a weapons guide, as part of my contribution to the Insanity Write-off (to signify my level of insanity for Epinions *wink*.) Skip that if you do not wish to be spoiled or bothered with extra content.

...

Pros: Graphics, User Control, Story Line of Game, and Great Maps for DM!!!
Cons: Can't stop the Other players from Cheating....????

I had never heard of this game..... It's best to say that, For a while, I had Stopped playing Games on my PC... then one day, I pulled out an old favorite... DOOM.

I was one of those people who FIRST started playing DOOM, back in 1995... first...

Pros: Amazing sound effects, cool graphics, disturbingly entertaining gore-level.
Cons: Frustrating AI, immensely difficult, dumb story, bad level design

There are so many good FPS games out there that it takes a lot to stand out from the pack. A lot of blood, that is. This sequel to the infamously violent SOF title is every bit as gory as its predessor, with some much-needed improvements thrown in....

Pros: ACTION PACKED THRILLER!
Cons: Maybe a bit too much gore

If you thought Unreal Tournament or Quake III was a bloody game, this game is not for you. Solider of Fortune has managed to knock off Kingpin as the most violent game ever. This game is so violent that it would make satan puke. Well, here's your...

Pros: Very good damage system, good music, with intense, high-action gameplay
Cons: Extremely gory, ho-hum scenarios, not terribly tactical, non-realistic

Constructed out of a modified Quake II engine, I half expected Soldier of Fortune to be as lame as Daikatana. Thankfully and mercifully, I can report that the game as a whole is not anywhere near that bad, though it certainly isn't the most wonderful...

Pros: Stress relief. Good graphics.
Cons: Gameplay slow and sometimes hindered.

SOF is one of those games that is almost good enough to be your favorite game, but bad enough to make you shelve it.

SOF has so much potential, but I believe Raven (the developer) focused so much attention on the gore and 27 "hot spots",...

Pros: Amazing Graphics, Sound, and gore.
Cons: Generic plot, bland guns, and round-of-the-mill levels

I own the first Soldier of Fortune and loved it to death. When I was visiting my brother's house, I kind of "borrowed" Soldier of Fortune 2 without him noticing and beat it quickly. I found the need to inform people of this game for certain reasons: ...

Pros: Gore(?), wicked gun fights, intense action, multiplayer
Cons: Huge system requirements, gore(?)

Abandon all tactics that you may have used from the original Soldier of Fortune, because Double Helix is almost nothing like its predecessor. Unlike the twitchy trigger finger tactics of the original SOF, SOF2 relies more on tactics and, to a lesser...

Pros: Awesome damage system, nice character animations, and superb realism
Cons: Long loading times, multiplayer not so good, story is less engulfing than a 3rd grade kung-fu movie.

What happens when Activision licenses the Quake II engine with its high fidelity graphics and places you inside the body armor of a veteran Mercenary in NYC? You get a product that will place itself on banes of society list. As a matter of fact, not...

Pros: Great graphics, customizable in every aspect, positional damage
Cons: Senseless weapon design decisions, overhyped ‘gore factor’, flawed multiplayer, unoriginal

Of all the genres that compose the PC gaming scene, the First Person Shooter has to be the one that evolved the less through all this time. I know real time strategies are now getting stuck in a lethargic period of unoriginality, but it was not always...

Pros: Excellent graphics, mean enemies, very realistic.
Cons: Gets dull seeing heads explode, too graphic for younger audiences, poor multiplay.

Soldier of Fortune has been hailed to be the most realistic PC game ever to hit the shelves. They certainly weren't joking about that claim. IN Soldier of Fortune, you play a mercenary for hire, John Mullins, working under a mercenary group called The...

Pros: Intense Graphics
Cons: Very High System Requirements

Soldier of Fortune had me impressed at its very opening scene in the demo. My mouth dropped as soon as I saw the graphics and I found myself wiping off the drool from my lower chin. As the in-game cinema continued I laughed when I saw the high content of...
