1 out of 5 stars So buggy....   September 12, 2008
Avoid this game. It's very buggy even with the patches. Tons of problems. Some examples:

1) You step off a platform and end up trapped behind it's legs. You can't jump over, crawl under, or go around. Restart the level.

2) The gun site is not accurate. Often you have to aim a little bit off of the target to get a hit. Hard to find the magic sweet spot when enemies are running after you.

3) The AI sucks. The enemies pretty much line up to die. The only problem is your gun has a bent site or something so you can sometimes miss a head shot from 2 feet away. Maybe they did that on purpose to make the game harder and cover up the lousy AI.

Avoid this game.




4 out of 5 stars great game if you like shooters!!!!   July 19, 2008

Strait forward shooter with beautifull graphics. i play it at high end settings .Easy to play and relax after a days work.Just instal the patch for the game first.Dont understand all the negative. i played all SOF and this one looks the best.


2 out of 5 stars A GAME THAT HAS LOST ITS WAY   July 17, 2008
Soldier of Fortune 1&2 had heart and soul. This game might as well be called "Soldier Street Fighter" in as much as it feels more like an arcade game than a FPS following a story line. EXAMPLE: at the end of each mission, you face down ther BOSS GUY who requires a zillion shots to kill like some big boss on the old quarter arcade games. Graphics are good, but if you're looking for a game like the first two with characters and a story you care about, you will not find it in this game.


4 out of 5 stars why all the bad reviews???   July 2, 2008

I really liked this game. I am working my way though it for the 3rd time. Though I have never played any of the other SOF games... I really like this one -alot of fun.


3 out of 5 stars Surprise   May 21, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The idea is good, but execution is a little lacking. Plan on getting killed a lot; you pretty much have to play and keep trying different things to get through each level. The graphics are not the best, only passable and the plot keeps you guessing to the surprise ending.
