badddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

very very bad this gmae is not fun

If I could describe this games gameplay in one word it would be timeless. The amount of detail in the gore to this day is STILL untouched, and gunplay is some of the most brutal I experienced in a game. The story is very generic and nothing worth bragging about and the graphics are honestly kinda ugly even for it's time. I also don't like how the game goes for more of a realistic, tactical feel and abandons it's run and gun quake like gameplay from the first soldier of fortune. The gameplay is what will have you coming back for more and more due to the way enemies react to getting shot and the satisfying punchy gunplay that is still to this day top notch. I say if you are a fan of ultraviolent fps shooters this is a must have.

PikaCommando nailed it with his review, including his apt description of the jungle level. I'm a fan of Raven Software and was really excited for SoF. The gameplay is good for its time, sort of reminiscent of Half Life. HOWEVER there's so much cheap garbage that goes on. Getting killed by grenades that come from nowhere and are often even undetectable is a problem. Enemies whose line of sight and awareness is far more than what you're capable of is a problem. Guns are deadly and war is unpredictable stand hazardous - however, this is a game, meant for entertainment. Auto-saving my way through each level (if you disable the limited allotted saves per level) breaks up the stride every couple minutes or seconds, because i never know when some cheap enemy that is impossible to even see will blindside me or instantly kill me with a (sometimes silent) grenade. Do better, Raven. Come on. Games should be fun and even challenging, but not unfair and enraging crawls.
