"OldTimer Likes This First Person Shooter"

I'm not computer savvy like many of the reviewers of this game, I couldn't recognize a gigabyte if it bit me, and I would hazard a guess that most of the reviewers are my sons' ages, but I do know what I like. Since I retired, I've played many of this type of game, and while the training mode can be a bit frustrating, the remainder of the game is well thought out, and fun to play. It is neither too easy nor too hard, moves along well, and the graphics are adequate. I haven't completed it yet, but the sections I've finished were engaging, and I look forward to the next level. All in all, a good game, worth the money.

Awsome gory game

This is the ultimate shooter game. The damage is very real... sometimes a bit too real :P. Limbs will be blown off and blood will be spilled. You are a mercenary. Use your weapons to help fight terrorists and save hostages. One of the best shooters I played.

My experience with Amazon orders in general has been a wonderful experience. I recently purchased Soldier of Fortune II for my son and he loves the game. The game arrived just as we requested and was in great shape. I would recommend this to anyone.

Thanks Amazon,
Marjorie

One of the Greatest FPS of all time!

SOF2, the sequel to one of the most goriest games ever made, makes a return, but has a lot more detail than the first. In this game, you can actually shoot somebody's eye out, you can actually see a brain when you cut somebody's head and slicing pieces of it off, and you can even shoot somebody's hand. unlike the first game, the graphics are much more improved. the first game (which is also a classic) had PSone graphics, where the characters were blocky. The game has a nice selection of weapons, a few exclusive to this version.

Not to be played on a full stomach and not for children

Man oh, man, was this game ever gory. I remember the first time that I played this game and I almost puked. I mean, the first shot at a bad guy that I took, ripped his whole arm off. It was disgusting. I am telling you this honestly, note; THIS GAME IS NOT FOR CHILDREN AND IS NOT TO BE PLAYED BY THE FAINT OF HEART OR ON A FULL STOMACH!!! Don't believe me? Go to Gamespot.com, type in Soldier of Fortune, and look at the screenshots and pretty much all of them will show up looking like buckets of blood and decapitated bodies. However, for those that are looking for a good solid action and can handle the content of the game, I highly recommend this but not on a full stomach.
So, parents, with this said, it was a great idea to write to check your child's wish list twice, and if this game shows up, the answer should be no way in hell.

"Mullins! you are jeopardizing the mission! get back here now!"

Oh man. This is sweet. even after playing quake 4 and the F.E.A.R. demo, this is really a game i can truly enjoy. one of the biggest pluses to the game is simple yet important. you shoot somebody, and they have a bullet wound. its not like youre just shooting people, and youre kinda wondering, well is this guy dying or not? no, this time you can pull out your shotgun and blow the limbs off people one by one and hear them scream, or slice an enemys face right down to the grayish brain. this is a very realistic game, a few problems which take away from the realism, such as the fact that you can carry a ridiculous amount of weapons, and the one thing that REALLY bugs in me in the game is the fact that the blood isnt done too bad (try getting one of the blood mods for extra real blood tho) but after you kill an enemy, the blood will just ooze from the body in a way that is oh so similar to the grand theft auto series. and whats more the blood doesnt look like the blood that squirts out when u shoot their juicy bodies, it just looks horrible. just a big mistake made in the game. the weapons are nicely chosen, an assortment of different handguns, grenades, and powerful machineguns. even the combat knife can prove to be quite useful. there is a lack of "stealth" weapons though, which didnt make much sense since stealth is supposed to be a large part of gameplay, theres even a meter on how much noise youre making. the story is involving and very good, nothing more can be asked for however sometimes during the missions your objectives just arent made very clear. if you miss a soldiers orders u can be confused for quite a while... but not a problem to the game. the multiplayer is well, just all you would expect from multiplayer action. definetly not bad, i still recommend ut2004 or quake though. havent tried counterstrike but apparantly thats the best, sounds pretty fun from what my friends have told me, i plan to get it sometime. well thats just about enough for this game, i hope a sof3 is released, perhaps with the nextgen graphics of doom3, that would be plain sweet...

Crispy Game

I was almost going to give this game five stars because it was really good. duh
First, let's get a few things straight. The guns in the game are sweet. In first person shooter games I think that most people would agree that the gun design is important. Well these guns are serious as in Serious Sam.
The gore is extreme, and I am going to leave that up for you to decide wheter that is bad or good. You can turn it off or tone it done though. The models in the game are very good and very fun to shoot because of their juicyness. And I think that the graphics are very nice on most of the levels. Some people thought that the story was confusing, but I thought that it was very interesting.
The bad things about this game would be the bugs, and the times where they don't tell you what to do next in the level. Overall, I think that it is a good buy. Also, the demo doesn't do the full game justice.

the most awesome, yet graphic game ever

My opinion on this game is that it is GREAT!!! this is simply because it combines a good story line with heart pounding action and well lots of blood and gore. which video games are all about

A Lengthy and Awe-Inspiring Action Game!

Yea, this game is gorey. Once you kill (many different ways to kill him/her) a terrorist, you can basically, at your leisure, just shoot the crap out these enemies. Once the limbs are eliminated, you will begin to see their lungs--no lie. It's that gorey. But it is great fun to watch!

Just like Soldier of Fortune 1, you will explore levels situated from dense Vietnamese jungles to a remote ship out on the Atlantic Ocean, from the Airport Terminal to Japanese urban streets. From mantions to massive mantions. Lots of variety. Also, for each level where you combat outdoors, it's either raining/snowing or just plain clear. In the beginning of one level where you enter the large virus-producing (discuss later) lab., it's like 50 degrees below zero, and terrorists aren't expecting you.

I love the music in this game. When on the main menu, you're greeted with orchestrated music, that sounds very suspenceful but critical music. You'll know what I mean when you hear it. Also, each level has slow-paced and fast-paced music. Each pace changes when the mood changes--what I mean is: fast, suspenceful music when you're in danger, and vice versa. I love the mantion level music, probably the best orchestrated music--kind of sounds like Medal of Honor, WWII type music.

Weapons range from a sidearm to the UZI, to an AK47, to an ultra-powerful shotgun. Grenades are awesome. Choose from either phosphorus (eye-blinding), stun (loud/bright) or flame (destroys objects and flames up stuff)grenades---and then you have your regular explosive grenades--NOT that the others DON'T explode also--they do explode.

The story is about John Mullins trying get face to face to Promethius and his connections with the illegally-operated labs that are producing a fatal virus that will kill everyone, which you will notice after the Vietnam level, where you're in a small city with sick people regurgitating.

Taylor, a partner of John Mullins, and Sam, John's advisor, are in the game. However, later in the game, after the ship in the ocean, when you fly back to the "the Shop" or headquarters in outskirts of NYC for a mission breifing, the 2-storey building partially explodes because of an "inside job". There's a fire, and must rescue Sam and bring him to the awaiting ambulance. I liked that part.

I have a GeForce FX 5200, 768 MB RAM while playing SOF2, and there are instances of slow-down, but not drastic but somewhat noticeable. However, that only occurs if there are many objects and buildings in the background, of course. You can also adjust the graphics settings to make it faster.

There are many reasons why you should get Soldier of Fortune 2. Excellent, driven plot; realistic graphics like eye-candy; sounds great on my computer; gameplay is excellent with unlimited gorey scenes; there are also great scenes of destruction, too.

an addicitve fun, smart blood bath
