The reason why SoF died
If you're like me, you've likely forgotten just how bad this game was. Do yourself a favor and just play one and two and forget this existed.

that the game works correctly!!
This is a common problem that may be caused by extremely high framerate. In order to fix it, please enable Vsync in drivers for your graphics device. Nvidia: I) Right click Desktop II) Select/Open "Nvidia Control Panel" III) Select "Manage 3D Settings" top left IV) Go to "Program Settings" Tab Va) Find the game on the drop down games list and select it. Vb) If it's not there, then press Add -> Browse, and go to the game installation folder (default C:\GOG Games\game_title\), choose the main executable file. VI) Scroll down in graphics settings and set Vsync to "On". VII) Apply.

A cheap soldier of fortune.
I remember when the game just came out and I was glad. As soon as I saw the disc in the store I immediately bought it. Having installed and almost immediately passing the game, I was a little disappointed. Why a little, but not furious? Well, what did you want from the budget game published by "activision value" (by the mid-2000s, this company was removed word "value")? Game on quality of the first and second parts? Do not be silly. As a budget shooter, he is good. This is one of the best shooters that published a subsidiary with a bad reputation. What I didn’t like was another game, it’s not like the first and the second games. This is a budget clone of call of duty. That is why I was a little disappointed. I didn’t want call of duty, I wanted a soldier of fortune.

Not that bad
The game definetly has some big issues, but once you get the game working properly its actually surprisingly fun. All the weapons feel good and sound punchy, especially the shotguns. And for what the game is, the reload animations are amazing. The gore is very satisfying, you can shoot off arms, legs etc. with surprisingly good blood effects. Yes the game is pretty cheesy but from a pure gameplay perspective its rather fun, yes there is the occasional difficulty spike for seemingly no reason and some bullshit bossfights, but they werent frequent enough to actually ruin the experience. Over all its a pretty good altough a bit generic FPS game, but for just under 9€, id say its worth a try. 5/10

A total failure...
Oddly, this is even worse on GoG than the version I have on my original CD-based copy. I suspect that this may be because of some form of "copy protection cheating" built into the original game which wasn't properly removed for its GoG release. Let me just be clear. I have played through the first two missions, on the CD release. I was unable to get past the first few SECONDS on the GoG release, as my bullets seem to all... 100% of them... be blanks. I mean, I stood a few feet from a "terrorist" and unloaded my entire clip, at point blank range... and it didn't affect him. I, however, died rapidly. In the CD version, this is not the case. I can hit them (albeit the "hit boxes" are not really representative of the character model as seen on screen). But point-blank, dead-center-of-chest, or dead-center-of-face, and NO ROUNDS CONNECT? That's a HUGE issue. Now... I'll continue from the PC CD-based version I've played previously, and which (EVENTUALLY, no doubt) this will "rise" to become. This is a straight, on-the-rails shooter, with zero actual player interaction. You follow from one (nicely rendered, I'll grant) setpiece to the next, shoot the bad guys, wait a moment to "auto-heal," and then move to the next setpiece. It's the very antithesis of the sort of game the first two games in the "series" were like. So, as far as I'm concerned, this isn't really even in the same series. I suspect, in fact, that this game was originally written without reference to "Soldier of Fortune" and was then changed, by some text in mission briefings, to seem like it was at least missions from the same "shop" as the first two games were related to. You're not playing at John Mullins in this game, either... but rather, some unidentified man named "Thomas." The thing about the first game was that John Mullins is a real person... and while the games were not really "his adventures in real life," it gave you someone to relate to and pretend to be.
