Great Gore But That's About It
Like someone else noticed, the game's gibbing and overall violence are it's sole strength. For what it's worth, it's really damn good. Limbs, heads, and torsos get blown open in gruesome fashion. I frequently took a shotgun and a high-caliber pistol into every mission just for a chance to tear some people up. Being made on the Quake II engine, movement is quick, guns feel good to shoot, and combat is satisfying enough to get you from one level to the next. But that's just it -- it's satisfying enough. I found myself realizing just how identical every firefight started to feel around the halfway point. Most enemies have the same few set behaviors, despite separate skins. Things do eventually get shaken up with bullet-resistant armor and high-powered weapons, but it's a minor challenge at best. You're free to pick an arsenal of weapons to bring into every mission, but you'll eventually just resort to grabbing whatever each enemy uses as their primary weapon once you run out of ammo. By the time I hit the final boss, I was almost wishing that it could've ended sooner. The story is typical fare, and at the very least there's some self-awareness of it. It mostly exists just to string you along and connect the various levels, of which there's some decent variety. Underground subways, trains, high rise buildings, and villages are just some of the places you'll go. It could be worse, really. The final few levels took place in what I can only describe as thematically appropriate areas. I won't spoil them for you. Overall, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Soldier of Fortune. I enjoyed my time with it, and I'm glad I played it. Having said that, I won't try to up-sell you on a mostly generic shooter. If you're a gore-hound, this game is essential. If not, maybe look elsewhere.
