Soldier of fortune is a great game with the most blood ive seen in ANY 360 game, but it has alot of flaws.
I mean seriously, this is one hell of a graphic game. If you shoot an RPG into a group of bad guys, you will see limbs fly everywhere and dead bodies with no arms, legs, or head fly past you. And you can shoot off a limb or a head in this game with 80% of these guns in just a few shots.
Now, enough about the violence.
The games singleplayer is very short, it only took me about 5 hours to beat. The story makes no sense at all, one level your in the middle easting shooting at terrorists and the next your somehow in the jungle shooting at guerrillas. I have to say though, shooting somebody in this game just has a really satisfying feel to it, kinda like in cod4, but better.
Your arsenal contains more than 30+ weapons to choose from (most of which are pretty damn satisfying) and you unlock more with each level you complete. BTW did I mention the gunshots in this game sound AMAZING? You can also customize your weapons, and alot heavier than cod4 too. For example, on cod4, you can only edit the camo, suppressor, and scope of your weapon. In this game you have I think 5-6 different scopes to choose from including ironsights (unlike cod4 where all you have is reflex and acog), and then you can fit most guns with a suppressor, AND choose what to put on the bottom rail mount. Usually it gives you the option for a grenade launcher or a handgrip for increased accuracy.
Out of all the weapons you have, available to you, by the end of the game you will have unlocked something like 6 or 7 assualt rifles, 5 sub machine guns, 3 shotguns, 4 snipers, 6 or 7 pistols, and 2 projectile weapons (RPG and that one grenade launcher that loads like a revolver) so this game has a lot of good weapons to choose from. ah and I forgot to mention you can dual wield pistols and submachine guns.
This game is also VERY straightforward. Theres not much depth to it and the dialogue in the game is stupid, its all in 1st person so you never get to see what mason (your character) looks like, and its a bit corny at times.
Basically if you want a straightforward but down to earth shooter that is insanely violent I think you will like this game
OVERALL
gameplay: 8/10
guns and explosives are really satisfying but the game itself is too straightforward
Sound: 9.5/10
Gun shots from pretty much all guns sound AMAZING in this game as well as explosions do. The music is also pretty interesting.
Replay value: 7/10
this game will last you awhile, even after you beat the campaign its fun to go through and play the missions again.
Graphics: 6/10
bad, outdated looking graphics. low resolution textures.
Although, the weapon models look nice.
online Multiplayer:
4/10
boring, lack of decent maps. (this game is also nearly dead online) wont keep you coming back.
if you are going to buy this game, buy it for the singleplayer, not MP.
