If you are a SOF 1 or SOF 2 fan. This game may disappoint... although It has its moments...

I expected this game to be like SOF 2 except with upgraded graphics. It's not...

The first thing I noticed were the horrible controls. When you sprint you are unable to use your mouse to turn into the direction you choose so you are forced to run straight...

The graphics are a little cartoon like. Gun models are well designed. The "depth of field"effect can get annoying after a while. Especially when you reload.

Gameplay is extremely repetitive... At least in SOF2 you felt like you inflict different damage to your enemies with different weapons. Here the character models break apart the same way with just about every weapon So you never feel like you are seeing or doing anything new...

AI stinks... Your enemies seem to know where you are miles away before you even get a chance to spot them.

Sound is alright.


But most of all is the lack of options to tweak. Like Textures, Shading, V-sync etc etc... They are missing unless I missed it.

That being said the game is still fun due to the ridiculous amount of violence.

Before you buy wait for a demo...
