Ever played goldeneye64... Picture that to the 10th power. This game is truly amazing. You really just cant stop playing it. When u shoot a character, they actually act out dramatic elements of pain. When you play, u feel like your in a movie that u get to direct. So realistic that words cannot even describe the detail, action, and fun of this game. If u have an uneasy stomach, then dont become a "Soldier of Fortune"!
You Must Get This

The best shoot em up to date. This game has it all, weapons, excellent interaction, gameplay and some great missions.The skill level increases as the game progresses, giving an addictive feel. Brutal and gory this is not for children, but should keep Quake fans busy for hours if not days. If you want to buy one game this year, make it this one.
Disappointing...

I found this game very disappointing... I read all the reviews that said this game was the best, extremely fun, very real, etc. So I was expecting a game that consisted of undercover missions and espionage, but instead all you do in this game is run and shoot. You can't really sneak around because there's nowhere to go. All the levels are comepletely linear, you have no choice where you go, there is only one path.
Aside from that it is practically impossible to sneak up behind enemies and perform a "silent takedown". Not that you ever need to, the enemies in this game are completely stupid and couldn't shoot the side of a barn. You could run into a room full of enemy soldiers and take them all down with a handgun without losing any health. In this game you simply end up running through the levels shooting human targets as you go.
This game is for people who just want to blow stuff up (although, some of the things you can do to enemies are pretty cool...) but the overall game is pretty boring.
If you're looking for a game that actually requires some thought, buy Deus Ex or Half-Life, don't waste your money on this...
Great Single Player - Multi-Player Lacks

I thought this was one of the best first person shooters in single player mode. In fact, I would say it is the second best single player FPS next to Half-Life. I was totally immerged into the single player game and thought it was nothing short of outstanding.
Multi-player however lacked in my opinion. Player movement speed online was way too fast for the game. I thought the online play should of been more realistic feeling, perhaps similair to the popular Counter-Strike Half-Life modification.
If you like single player FPS games, this is a must buy.
What more could you ask for???????

Soldier of Fortune gold edition is even better than the original. It has the same levels but has a WAY better multiplayer mode with all new games such as a standard deathmatch, assasin, arsenal, capture the flag and much more. This is a must get for anyone who likes first-person shooters. This game is practicly perfect, only its not really for the kids and eat on an empty stomach.
Must have

And its has just the right amount of violence too! The game's GHOUL engine really does a great job displaying realistic damage effects and gunshot wounds. I enjoy playing this again and again!
phat game

it's a sweat game to play! it is a must have for any people who love first-person shooters. If you shoot the guys in the arm then their arm will fall off and then they will still come after you. But it is not for anyone under 14 cause of the graphic content!
