  • Summary: The single-player mode is a long series of often-amazingly intense firefights.

That was the main selling point of this game, and it did deliver! Extremely responsive, each of your countless shoots triggers a reaction of the enemy. Expand

    Why modern games can't provide this level of sophisticated gore anymore is a mystery especially with how advanced game engines are nowadays.Why modern games can't provide this level of sophisticated gore anymore is a mystery especially with how advanced game engines are nowadays. Still arguably the most satisfying shooter ever created. Expand

    Soldier of Fortune is an action pack brutal game that will please every hardcore gamer to its core.
    Build using the Quake 2 engine, this is a beautiful looking game with amazing level design, really, this are the best designed levels for a game release in 2000. The main attraction of the game it's the dismember system that show how violent the game can it be and it is really violent.
    As i already mention the game is best enjoy in it's highest difficulty, this is where the game shines, keep on mind that dying is something that will happen a lot... really... a lot.
    The storyline i consider it kind of basic but well executed.
    Good job Raven Software!!!!!!!

This year a lot of great first-person games were released such as Deus Ex, Thief 2 and No one lives forever. With such heavy competition, it was already at a disadvantage
    Graphics: For 2000 they were pretty average, the human animations and reload animations and animations, in general, were very good. Everything else is mediocre
    Sound, music, and voice: Overall sound and music are average. The dialogue is pretty cheesy and of average quality.
    Story: it's forgettable and the characters are typical stereotypes of good and bad guys. I just finished the game and i don't remember anyone name
    Gameplay, level design; Literally every level is just standard shooting in corridors with rarely any change up. You will get bored pretty quickly. Even though it's a pretty short game (about 5 hours) it will feel like it's longer. But the shooting itself is fun.
    Fun factor: The game is fun enough to get you through it. Even though towards the end i just want it to end as quickly as possible.
    Overall if you are a FPS fan then play it or else dont.

    L'un des jeux les plus violents, l'un des rares jeux où on peut démembrer ses ennemis au fusil à pompe, leur exploser la tête au calibre .44,L'un des jeux les plus violents, l'un des rares jeux où on peut démembrer ses ennemis au fusil à pompe, leur exploser la tête au calibre .44, les trouer comme des passoires à la mitraillette et toutes choses très poétiques (sans compter le lance-flammes syndical) d'un "soldat de fortune", c'est-à-dire d'un mercenaire, mélange de Rambo et de Robocop à lui tout seul... sauf qu'il a un vieux galure sur la tronche et une moustache ridicule. Et un pote noir qui a trop forcé sur les stéroïdes.

    J'allais dire que c'est plutôt amusant... c'est presque le cas mais pas trop longtemps, car c'est en vérité atrocement répétitif... On se demande quand ça va se terminer au bout de seulement quelques niveaux, car après s'être occupé des bombes nucléaires, on devrait aller se reposer, prendre sa retraite, ranger les flingues et aller à la pêche. Mais non, ça continue encore et encore... Et puis au Japon, j'ai pas trouvé la sortie : tout est verrouillé... pas vu l'astuce ou un sale bug a tué le niveau peut-être !

    De toute façon, ça réapparaît sans cesse derrière soi, à côté, devant, en haut, en diagonale... sans compter les ennemis toujours planqués derrière la moindre porte, fenêtre, cachette, poubelle etc, etc... Dans le genre "ça revient sans arrêt" juste pour te soûler parce que c'est presque aussi scripté qu'un Call of, Soldier of est certainement un précurseur dans son domaine !

    Quant à l'histoire (?) issue d'une série B ou plutôt triple Z, elle est d'un ridicule sans nom... Les pétoires donnent des "sensations pures" (la castagne, ça vous gagne) et les effets sonores sont convaincants mais les graphismes, même pour un jeu de 2000, sont à la ramasse et la direction artistique est d'un goût douteux, pour ne pas dire inexistante en fait.

    Un jeu donc très brutal mais con comme ses pieds, perclus de scripts vraiment infâmes et ignoblement répétitif.
