Fun to play...
User Rating: 7.8 | Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix PC
Shooting a guy's face off shouldn't be this fun. I mean, I'm a law-abiding citizen (during the week, between the hours of 8 to 3) and an honest taxpayer. I don't have a homicidal bone in my body (from the ankles down). So why is watching a NPC hold his face while liquid crimson flows from between his fingers so damn gratifying? I'll tell yah why - it's guiltless and about has harmful as asphyxiating your favorite stress toy or maiming the dummy at your anger management class. So in a sense, Activision's new FPS Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix can be seen as much needed therapy for the mentally stable PC gamer ("mentally stable" being the operative term) who just wants to vent a little and/or have a good time. Soldier of Fortune II is also great first-person shooter with nearly all the elements needed for a frantic, satisfying frag session. However, the bad likes to travel on the underbelly of the good, and there are a few hitches along the way. But thankfully, Soldier of Fortune II doesn't come with too many unwanted stowaways.
