John Mullins, limb exploder.

This game is old, so there is some jank, but man... Raven's GHOUL system was (and still is) incredible when this came out. Other devs were doing dismemberment systems, but this one was easily the best. Very satisfying turning a corner, pulling the trigger on the shotgun and watching the limbs fly. Even though Raven is destined to forever toil away in the Call of Duty mines, the stuff they were doing back in the day was top-tier. If you like shooty FPS games, this is one to have in the collection.

Pushing the limits...

... of controversy and technology - a true pioneer. Back in 2001I was in the 7th grade and I'd use to sneak in 30 mins of gameplay during the lunch break, spent in the nearby "LAN club" - picture 12 Pentium 2s in a small-ish room, usually in the middle of a Free-for-all deathmatch, the room filled with cigarette smoke and frantic yelling. In those days when the internet was dial-up only, I played the credits off of this game - to the point of knowing it by heart. The different escalating levels of damage you could inflict on an enemy model, followed by messy cyber mutilation was something I'd never expected to see in a game at that point in time but eventually started to see later on in other titles. Unreal Tournament had similar technology but definitely not like this. Throw in the death animations - again a never before seen by me feature in a game and I really got hooked. Although then I found it interesting the plot now seems quite flat and unsurprising but some characters ( like the main villains) were given enough personality through the voice acting that they really deserved more screen time than the amount they have, Also - really enjoyed the simple dot crosshair; the guest star (now dead) dictator making a short appearance; the level design was top-notch for it's time too. Bottom lining it - this game is worth every cent as it's a pioneer in more ways than one and is more than decent overall ( not sure I liked the second installment as much s the first).

Still fun but doesn't age well!

This game is still very fun and being able to shoot of limbs is still very entertaining but I feel that the story is very weak and that it hasn’t aged well. However, I still think it’s fun, and it’s easy to play (my kind of FPS) and a lot of nostalgia!

Old-school shooter just like you love'em

In-depth video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0RCgTt0uRc A linear experience peppered with 90s clichés, Soldier of Fortune is an honest-to-god old-school shooter. Enjoyable to play, even if it's a bit of pain in the ass sometimes with the diabolical enemy placement. The gunplay is really good, and the movement is what you'd expect from an era where Arena shooters still reigned supreme. It also includes a very in-depth body damage system which can be a bit gruesome even for today's standards.
