    La suite syndicale du premier mais en plus con ou en tout cas aussi con qu'avant, ce qui laisse une impression de "plus con", étant donné que c'est toujours la même chose, toujours aussi bas du front et pire que tout, toujours autant...premier degré complet avec ce mercenaire de mes deux, gros moustachu de mon cul !

La suite syndicale du premier mais en plus con ou en tout cas aussi con qu'avant, ce qui laisse une impression de "plus con", étant donné que c'est toujours la même chose, toujours aussi bas du front et pire que tout, toujours autant...premier degré complet avec ce mercenaire de mes deux, gros moustachu de mon cul !

    L'effet "gore" et "démembrement" est passé (et carrément fané... démembré lui aussi) alors que les graphismes n'ont pas progressé : ils étaient déjà limités avant et ça ne s'est pas vraiment arrangé ici... Certes, j'ai joué à la version Xbox qui tient à peu près ses 30 im/s (quand même !) et reste sensiblement moins belle que sur PC -je veux dire que la version PC est moins moche en fait- mais tout de même, ce moteur Quake 2 dépassé, conjugué à un manque de goût généralisé, c'est putain de pas beau...

    Même les effets sonores font un peu "passés" et dépassés, pas à la hauteur de la concurrence qui n'est pas restée les bras croisés... Quant aux temps de chargement, eh bien votre patience sera mise à rude épreuve (il paraît que c'est une vertu !).

    Pour le reste, non les restes de ce "Soldier of", c'est la même chose que précédemment avec moult scripts, quantité d'ennemis qui apparaissent dans votre dos, pas de carte, pas d'indications à l'écran e des niveaux qui cassent les burnes un peu trop vite et avec un peu trop d'application ! trop con et trop psycho-rigide, trop ringard, ce Soldier of doit juste aller se faire foutre ailleurs.    … Expand

    If you're looking for something to waste time with then you've found it. If your looking for a challange keep looking. Graphics are more than poor. Looks like something from the last generation of gaming systems. If you want to buy it rent it first.

    The graphics are last generation...the multiplayer gameplay is a joke...in some courses your just basically looking at what might as well be shadows of your opponents...it will not system link.

    It's like playing an N64 game - otherwise it's a bad port of a originally lousy game.

    Dual-Uzi's rule, the graphics don't. Good fun, no Halo tho...

    This is the worst 1st person shooter I've ever played. The graphics are very sub par, but it's also really simple and boring.

    I'm really surprised on the reviews this title has received. That is until you noticed they are all slamming the single player mode. Multiplayer is where it really shines. Fast action, gunnin' and runnin' using modern weapons. Since August 03' there have been 4 new downloadable maps with all them being different and unique for some really fun shooting mayhem.

The critics missed the mark in not giving more weight to the multiplayer aspects of this really addictive online game. My two cents.… Expand

    The first level is CHOPPY what the hell, it is an xbox game. i expected it would run like a pentium III at least, no it is a 486 with 16mb of ram the graphics are pretty bad for a next gen console. the only good part is shooting off your opponents limbs thats it.

    If this game is ANYTHING like the PC version........it's gonna rock so hard. And with the Xbox live, there's no contest......it's gonna rock!

    Great game overall. Online mode is a blast and will keep you coming back for more.

    The online play is fun and fast. The singleplayer is a joke. But the online is worth a purchase if ya have Xbox live.

    Bottom of the bargain bin title. It's a pretty trash game, like all the Soldier of Fortune games, but at least it's a little better than Payback. It's about as generic as its cover art and most aspects of the game plain suck.

    It does lose points for omitting variety within its multiplayer setup.

    The bad news is this: The game's graphics look dated. Most characters are blocky and reek of a poor PC port job. And Xbox Live support...needs an overhaul. [Aug 2003, p.74]

    This is as stock and uninteresting as it gets, nothing more than the staple prescripted key/switch hunt you've already seen 100 times. [Aug 2003, p.77]
