Not worth your money

It barely follows the story line of the Sum of All Fears, same dumb format as Ghost Recon, and only 11 short, easy missions. It doesn't even allow you to choose your own weapons, you have to choose from a pre-made package. If you are a first time FPS player, get this. If you are a hard-core FPS player, it's not worth your money.

This is a very good game............

This is a very cool game. you'll get addicted to it for awhile then about a week later you'll play it every now and then. This game is very action packed! Each time you beat a mission you'll get some new outfits. (an outfit is a set of weapons to use during a mission just incase you didn't know.) If you're mom dosn't like you to get games where you kill people just put on a sad face and tell her that there is no blood(because there isn't.) and say please alot.

The worst computer game! How could they?

I am eagerly awaiting the PS2 version so I can see if its an easier game to play. The controls (stinks). Its very slow on my computer. The graphics look good, but not good enough. Maybe the console versions will be good. If not then I will play the GameBoy Advance version which will (chances are) be a little easy. I'd rather watch the mating habits of pocket lint than play this game. I warn you, wait until the console (GameCube, GameBoy Advance, PlayStation2) versions come out, rent them and then decide if you want them.

ok but not great

Most video games made from movies are knock offs. This one is better than that, but I was expecting a full blown Tom Clancy style tactical shooter a la Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon.

The biggest departure from Rainbow or Recon is that your path is planned out for you. You simply follow the line and shoot whatever pops into sight. Your team is pre-assembled - you don't need to choose from recon, snipers, assault, electronics etc before a mission as you do in Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon. I beat the game pretty quickly, something I could not do in the other Tom Clancy game.

The weapons and AI are pretty good, all things considered, as you might expect from Red Storm Entertainment.

If your looking for a challenge and are a Tom Clancy fan, buy Ghost Recon or the 2 expansion packs, or wait for Raven Shield to come out this winter.

Could have been so much more

The one word that probably best decribes this game, "rushed". Red strom were looking for some easy money off the back of the movie. And the game's quality is reflected in it's cheap price.

The single player missions were like a massive case of dija vous back to my Rainbow Six days, probably becuase that is all this game is. Rainbow Six with none of the expansion packs (which are dearly needed as this game took less than 7hours to clock).

Gameplay- Movement is very restricted compared to other games of similar genre. And AI isn't anything special, the guards have a tendancy to stare at walls (or where ever the last shot came from)do not patrol, or scan the room. Therefore they regularly do not notice anyone enter the room (which makes it a little bit of a duck shoot at times). However if by some miracle they are pointing in ur direction and u are spotted, they are not slow at all in putting a few rounds in you or ur team members.

Multiplayer is a joke. Not even worth mentioning.

All in all steer clear of Soaf, stick with Rainbow 6 or Ghost Recon purely becuase they have pretty much the same game play, obviously with slight variations, but have tons of expansions. For excellent multiplayer fun, try Soldier of Fortune 2(Have been playing for 6months and still not bored) Or keep an eye out for Delta Force Black Hawk Down, release date late march.

Hope this helps.

Nice little Sidenote...not quite the movie

This was the opportunity for a movie to make an awesome selling promotional item...the plot was there...but instead they use the back story. New Years eve and a call comes in. From the White house dinner to the hills of where? Yes thats right West Virginia. What were you thinking oh great programmers? Tom Clancy should smack your hands. Well, none-the-less, it isn't a total flop. I think it is a very good game, although too easy on easy and too hard on hard. If you want a offshot of the movie with no real nuclear threat, and you want to steal some papers and shoot some "terrorists" (remember those west virginians?) then you will have fun... I recommend it...
