Okay I don't have the DC version of course. It isn't out yet. But I do have the PC version and it isn't very fun. Sure you blow heads off and there are gutts flying everywhere. But they truth is that there is no strategy behind the game. You just go around shooting. I like stratagy games like Metal Gear Solid though. But I am telling you this game isn't worth buying. It gets old really fast. It is exactly like DOOM except against humans and better graphics of course. But remember how DOOM was so awesome for the first 5, 6 maybe 7 days then it got really, well then you didn't play it anymore. Well that is how this game is. I haven't played it since the 1st day I got it. I recommend not buying this game!

Aww yeah! SOF rocks!

If you ever played this game on the PC, you will realize that this game is truely awesome. Not only does it have very realistic gore (with the help of the GHOUL technology) the storyline isn't too shabby as you play ex seal John Mullins in an attempt to take out a huge crime lord. With an awesome mixture of local and exotic locales, this game truely rocks.

Now that its coming to the Dreamcast, its twice as sweet!! :)

When I played this game at my friends house, I loved it and played a long time. As soon as I got home I was on the web trying to find it for dreamcast. As soon as I found it I was begging my mom to get it and making deals with her to get it. I haven't gotton it yet but when I do, I'll be the happiest person on Earth.

AN EXCELLLENT SHOOTER GAME!!!

...My review of SOF - a GREAT shooter game with a nice story line. The weapons are very cool and the enimies are true to life and belive me when you put it on a harder level, MAN watch out the bad guys just blow you away in 2 shots! So my total opnion for this game for someone who wants a first person shooter and is tired of playing Q3A and UT- GET THIS GAME!!!!!

Well i purchased this game about three days ago, after rainbow six i was very hesitant. Well i was wrong the first level of the game is not really fun, but when u get to the train level not very far into the game, its great fun. I mean your on a moving train trying to dodge helicopter bullets, while still blasting your way through enimes, what could be more fun.....the graphics are ok.......but i mean im used to computer and playstation 2 games so.....i guess there good....good enough to see what your doing unlike on rainbow six......this game is worth it...control is kinda hard...but u get used to it......the alternate fire button is L1, then push R1..... so thats kinda cool.....reload is L1...then the diagnal left.....so as you can see its kinda tricky to get used to...but nothing like ... rainbow six........so i suggest get it and try it......great war game....and fun to play

Violence not as over-the-top as hyped

General/Summary: Everyone has their own opinion on the violence factor of games. To be honest I thought the violence in this game was overstated. Its bloody to be sure but not as bad as it was hyped. I think Perfect Dark Or Duke Nukem for N64 was equal to me. Its a very good and challenging game but the load times are unacceptable in this day in age of games. I have played games from years ago when the technology was much less that loaded better then this game does. It seems to take the momentum out of the game. I'd be interested in knowing why the load times are so lengthy. If you like a good first person shooter this game fits the bill but its pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. Nothing real groundbreaking here.

Gameplay: I love how much you can configure things. I use a keyboard and mouse and you can assign every function to the keys you like. This is the only way to go if you can afford it. I couldn't imagine using the controller. Load times, as mentioned in the summary, is the only sore point.

Graphics: The graphics are pretty top-notch but not as pretty as Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament for Dreamcast. The models of the characters seem blocky to me but they aren't horrible. The environments look good but not great. The menu screens look excellent.

Sound: Sound is on par with most games of this type. Music is good, not great. Weapon sounds and voices are pretty well done but again, nothing special.

Best First Person Shooter Ever!

This is the best first person shooter on the market. Incredible graphics (and incredibly graphic) and inventive scenarios make this the best game of its kind I've played. DO take the 'M' rating seriously, however. The designers obviously studied war footage and the goriest movies available to create the blood and guts effects, and they are something to behold. Not recommended for young kids or anyone who's emotionally disturbed, but for mature gamers who can separate reality from pixels on a television, SOLDIER OF FORTUNE will keep you up for days as mercenary John Mullins, fighting to save the world. This review is for the Sega Dreamcast version.
