    A decent game but very frustrating due to the decidedly unfair AI. An enemy soldier should not be able to hear you crawling stealthily along the ground while he is standing on the other side of a stone wall. Worse yet, he shouldn't be able to throw a grenade over the wall and have it land right at your feet...and grenades should bounce, not stick where they land.

Worse yet, he shouldn't be able to throw a grenade over the wall and have it land right at your feet...and grenades should bounce, not stick where they land. And if you are crawling along in dense blizzard conditions with poor visiblity, the enemy soldier shouldn't be able to see you when you can't see him. And he shouldn't be able to shoot you from long distances with the accuracy of a sniper with his machine gun. And the 3-saves that you are given for each level seem like an artificial way to prolong the game because you never quite know when to save. If you use your saves too early, you have to repeat difficult parts of the level over and over again. And if you wait too long and get killed, then you have to repeat difficult parts over and over again. Either way, the player is the loser. It seems the developer did everything they could to make this game overly difficult, but not in a fair way.… Expand

    Graphically, it's those kind of games that give me headhaches!...Try Medal of Honor:Allied Assault for a real blast!

    Funny how the ps2 sites had approx. (91.08%) negative reviews, and the pc site for the same game have mostly (roughly 87.663%) positive things to say. if not for the gore and the trick weapons...

    The gameplay is fun and the weapons are cool, but the graphics are not that good. Also, the game is too bloody and gory.

    You know it's fun to go round shooting people...... but not when their heads and limbs get disintegrated!

    Though it's not quite as violent and gory as its predecessor SoF II is still a fun shooter for letting steam out and killing some time. It hasn't aged well and gameplay can feel a bit wonky at times, but for what it is it's entertaining.

    The story and characters are 100% cliches and stereotypes, but it works with the overall feel of the game.

    Oyun geçmişte kalan güzel yapımlardan biri. Son bir kaç yılın oyunlarını takip eden birisiyseniz bu oyuna hiç bulaşmayın çünkü seslendirme, grafik, seneryo, yapay zeka hiçbiri sizi heyecanlandırmayacak. Ama zamanına göre değerlendirirsek oyunun son bölümündeki iğrenç, tüfekle helikopter indirme saçmalığı hariç bölümleri eğlenceliydi.

    With solid action, great graphics and lots of replay value, SoF2 is easily one of the best action games of the year.

    It's a shame that the single player campaign is such a letdown - SoF 2 is an incredibly addictive multiplayer game, and if the polish shown to the online portion had transferred over to the single player game, we'd have a candidate of GOTY 2002 here.

    Anyone who gets off on the violence in this game is reveling in violence solely for violence's sake. [Sept 2002, p.78]
