Soldier of Fortune

Rating:
Summary: This is like the "Starship Troopers" of computer games.
Review: This game is all right. Not great, just all right. It's basically the "Starship Troopers" of computer games, with lots of gore but little substance behind the endless showers of crimson. It's painfully obvious that the main selling point was supposed to be the gore, and that a good majority of the developers time was spent on making sure spilled intestines quiver at just the right speed, rather than designing smart enemies and interesting levels. The first level in the subway station is cool, as is the series of levels in the Sudan and Japan, but this does not make up for the sheer stupidity of the plot. While this game is fun to play for a little while, it is nothing compared to "Half-Life" or "Deus Ex." I would recommend that you download the demo or borrow a copy of this game before investing your hard-earned cash in a game that may very well dissapoint you.
