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

Pros: Amazing Graphics, Sound, and gore.
Cons: Generic plot, bland guns, and round-of-the-mill levels
Summary: 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: Insanely violent; Insanely good-looking; Insanely wicked multiplayer.
Cons: Insanely resource-intensive; Insanely difficult.
Summary: 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: Amazing sound effects, cool graphics, disturbingly entertaining gore-level.
Cons: Frustrating AI, immensely difficult, dumb story, bad level design
Summary: 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. ... read more

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

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

Pros: Graphics are very crisp. Very gory game. Decent story line.
Cons: Too linear. Kinda boring.

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 ... read more

Pros: Very Realistic, runs smooth, great graphics
Cons: Kinda easy
Summary: I have played many games on many platforms. In my opinion there is nothing better then a great game written for the computer. The computer just gives you such a wide range of controls and graphics. This particular game is very well designed. The ... read more

Pros: ACTION PACKED THRILLER!
Cons: Maybe a bit too much gore
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Stress relief. Good graphics.
Cons: Gameplay slow and sometimes hindered.
Summary: 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", ... read more

Pros: INCREDIBLY VIOLENT, Good graphics, Realistic battle wounds
Cons: A.I., hit detection, moving near corners, too short
Summary: When I first heard about Soldier of Fortune, I figured it would be just another blood soaked, half-retarded FPS like so many that seem to dot the genre. After just the first level, I was hooked. The backgrounds are very detailed, down to grafitti on ... read more

Pros: Fairly good graphics, very gory, haunting sound effect.
Cons: Movie scenes are just over glorified game play recordings.
Summary: Soldier Of Fortune was hyped as the goriest game ever made, which was enough to make me want to buy it! I had originally bought the tactical "Low Violence" Version, but a quick internet patch made it the gory classic. This is a very gory game, but ... read more

Pros: Most realistic violence I've ever seen, Plenty of action & weapons
Cons: graphics are rough around the edges, stupid AI, no tactics
Summary: but if you like blood & gore, this is the game for you. People scream, blood splatters, limbs fly & intestines fall out. Can't get any better than that! Right?....OK, so the graphics look like they haven't been finished, but there is still tons of ... read more
