MOST REALISTIC SHOOTER OF THE DECADE!

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"!

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.

Great, Original First Person Shooter

I first heard about this game on a website. I downloaded the demo and was very impressed with what I saw. I went out and bought a copy and started to play. Before I knew it, I looked around and everyone in my house had gone to bed and it was like 1 in the morning! I couldn't believe that I had been playing for so long. This is the most realistic game I've ever played. This game uses something called the GHOUL system. If you shoot somebody in the leg instead of dying they grab their leg. This game is great. I can't say that enough. Multiplay is also a great aspect to this game especially if you like to play games online, like I do. There is just 1 downside to this game...It's not, repeat NOT for the kiddies. Keep this away from young children due to the realistic violence. Other than that I would recommend this to anyone who likes realistic first person shooters with great graphics.

Real Missions Not Just Run Around Shooting

I like FPS that don't involve running around in circles(i.e. Quake III) and that involve some tactical elements in various scenarios and real-world locations(I don't enjoy made up planets, creatures, etc) so you know where I come from when I rate this game. I also enjoy many many many missions and I have played SOF for several weeks now and I'm still playing new missions. I cannot believe it. When you finish one, there is actually a new one next up. So for gameplay, this is right up my alley. Next, the graphics are incredible. I did not get the head-exploding version just the tactical version(rated M but no blood). I prefer this version as it seems less "fake" from the other version, from what I've read. My system for reference is a Pentium 4, 1.4 Ghz with 32Mb Nvdia GeForce DDr and it absolutely rocks. My pluses to this game are: Many many many new missions and levels and scenarios; Many Many different weapons and realistic manipulation of those weapons(I love how he racks the slide on the .44(auto) and 9mm and how he cracks his knuckles after some shooting), very good storyline and excellent sounds; Awesome graphics and scenery. I do not have any negatives to report on this game. If you have a weak system you may find it difficult to play and the levels may take quite awhile to load(they even take about 20 seconds to load on my Pentium 4). Otherwise I strongly recommend this game and I'm rating this against the others I've played(Delta Force 3, Quake 1,2,3, Half-Life..another awesome one).

WOW!

Soldier of Fortune is and will always be known and remembered as one of the greatest games of all times...but this one with the new additions is even better than the original.

THIS GAME ROCKS. There are tons of separate points on the body where you can shoot. The detail is meticulous. This game has WAY more detail than Quake III or Halflife. You can blow peoples arms and legs off. Or take a double barrel shotti to the breadbasket and actually see their guts hang out. NOT AN EXAGERATION, this game is the bomb when it comes to 1st person shooters. And the AI is far superior to Halflife.

But wait, the multiplayer is ABSOLUTELLY REDICULOUS. Quake III cannot compare to this multiplayer. I have played this game and been yelling so loud that my neighbors thought there was a fight at my place. You can throw a knife at an opponent and actually see the blade stick out of their head while blood gushes onto the concrete. Then you can grab your knife back and push a button to wipe the blood off of it! Or take the double barrel shotti and blow off an enemy's arm, they'll keep coming until you splatter their brains across the walls. Or maybe you fired a rocket at them and blew both their legs off. You can actually hear their moans and cries for help as they bleed to death on the ground. Once again, this is NOT an exaggeration.

GET THIS GAME!

Do not fool around with Halflife or Quake III this is it!

Best First Person Shooters Ever Made!!!

I am a FPS lover and this game just rocks. I've had this game for about 9 months now, through out that time and now I have bought a lot of FPS games and nothing comes closer than this game when it comes to realistic. The characters are so real and you can shoot enemies just about anywhere on there bodies and will act it out as if you really did shoot them there. (Ex: if you shoot an enemy on the leg he will yell for his leg to hurt or he will start to limp. Or you can shoot his hand and he will yell for it as well and surrender to you) Of course the violence is optional, you can put it in or you don't. Personaly I like to see everything realistic. The levels are awsome as well. They take you around the world with different environments. The characters voices are so real with real accents. The weapons are breath taking, give you a verity to choose from, from knifes to granade launchers... This game is the best so far and now that there coming out with SOF 2 in December its a deffinite must buy...

Other games that fallow this one are...

No One Lives Forever, Undying, Deus Ex, Hitman Codname 47, Project IGI: I'm Going In.

Soider of Fortune is GREAT!

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.

Great fun!

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!
