        Extremely Violent and Great

        Rated M for Strong Graphic Violence,Blood,Gore and Some Language.

        When I first played Soldier Of Fortune it blew my mind.For 2000 this was an excellent game.The graphics were fairly good for 2000(though dated by today's standards) but what blew me away most was the graphic violence.The violence is very detailed in the game.You can blow off people's limbs and body parts with shotguns,you can see the bloody bullet holes in people when you shoot them.You can slice people up with a knife.You can shoot people in the balls with a shotgun showing their insides etc.The game is extremely violent.Even for 2000 and even by today's standards.Its one of the most violent video games ever.If you like very violent first person shooters then Soldier Of Fortune is the video game for you.I liked this game very much! Worth getting.

        An excellent, but extremely violent game.

        Soldier Of Fortune is pretty much a standard FPS game. It has a fairly linear story with several predictable characters. The player assumes the role of John Mullins, a mercenary who is hired to track down several stolen nuclear warheads from various locations around the planet. However, SOF's claim to fame is its high level of violence. While FPS games are known for being violent, this game takes it to an even bloodier level. The player can blow away or chop off different parts of an enemies body. Basically, keep this game away from the kids.

        Although SOF uses the Quake 2 engine, you wouldn't know it by just playing the game. The graphics have been heavily modified with higher resolution textures and extra special effects. The player movement also seems a little bit different. As for the weapons, they are fairly realistic and look good. There are plenty of enemies to kill and the AI is reasonable.

        8/10

        Nice try...

        I'll be honest with you... This game was only the nice try in attempt to give us a fine blood-carnage action, with high-voltage elements and to show those good old cliché of Americans fighting justice all over the world. The second game "Soldier of Fortune: Double Helix" (2002) was far more better, while the third one "The Payback" was extremely bad. Well, the game play could be more better, AI was nothing special, it was only fun because you can tear your opponent apart with your weapon. And that's about it You are John Mullins, a free-based mercenary who tries to stop nuclear war whoa! And you have missions on very interesting locations in the world. First, you have New York, just as an intro Than you have Uganda, and then, Serbia, Kosovo, where you fight the Serbian militants (when I first remember the line "the Serbs attacked on Kosovo again I was like why would Serbian people attack themselves? You know why? Because American people don't know anything about Serbia, or their people. It was set in Gracanica, a Serbian enclave. I bet the game makers just randomly choose places for the game that they didn't even heard of), the next was Siberia, Russia, where you are fighting Russian soldiers well, as usual, Russians were always the usual suspects when the hell breaks loose in the world than you have Iraq whoa! The ultimate opponent of USA where you fight Saddam Hussein's soldiers holy f**k I bet this game was made only for those who are real fighting, righteous patriots and for the end you have Sudan, Japan (of course it's not complete without the former enemy of WW2, right?) and Germany to fight Sergei Dekker a guy with Russian name what to say typical cliché And that's the thing that really upsets me with this game The only thing I really like about this game is voice actors Todd Susman, the late Michael Clarke Duncan and Brian Thompson. Try "Double Helix" it's far more better.

        Soldier of Fortune

        It's a great game. Beautiful from all sides. There was a time when I spent hours completing missions. Atmospheric, dynamic, beautiful (for that time). The game has a cool plot and well-written characters. There is a clear understanding that it is your actions that will help stop the coming apocalypse. And you feel it as you go through one mission after another. And until the end of the game, the development of the plot does not let go.

        There are a lot of interesting weapons in the game, which allows you to make shootouts diverse. The world is well drawn. At that time, it was more than enough. Basically, gamers paid attention to dynamism, and there is enough of it in the game. The "Soldier of Fortune" is striking in its cruelty, but then there were no modern control requirements for bloodshed and limb shooting. For this reason, no one was worried, and the players were happy to get into one or another part of the opponent's body, which guaranteed a bloody spectacle.

        The game pleases with a variety of locations, storytelling, heroes and villains, courage and betrayal, and looks well like an action movie, but not in a movie, but right on the screen of a gamer's monitor, who is immersed in what is happening. And every time you remember this toy with warmth, even though it is already a good two decades old.

        9 out of 10.

        Viewer Discretion is Advised

        This review is for Soldier of Fortune: Platinum Edition, a GOG re-released from 2018 + SoFplus mod, a fan mod that adds new features to the base game such as Higher Resolution support etc.

        The amount of gore in this game is truly horrifying. Saving Private Ryan comes to mind. A bullet or a bomb hits someone and the player witnesses his guts hanging out or limbs dismembered in real time. You play the role of John Mullins, a soldier for hire who accepts the most dangerous missions the U. S. government offers, including recovering stolen nuclear warheads and infiltrating war-torn Kosovo. The Devs of this game would go on to make several Call Of Duty games. I'm guessing that's where the Devs got their experience in close up cinematic violence. This was a unique FPS game ahead of its time when it was released in 2000. A very interesting game...
