Soldier of Fortune: Payback

Beyond Terrible!

I spent a little over an hour playing this hot garbage and can say with absolute certainty that this is by far the worst FPS I've ever had the misfortune of both paying for and playing. Where to start? Well, for one the hitboxes are completely inconsistent as in I've lost track of the number of times I have been shooting what the game has decided is a ghost. Get ready to be charged by enemies while you back pedal for survival while gasping in horror as the malestrom of rounds you send flying pass through them and into a wall. Because of this, it becomes nothing more than a guessing game as to if you'll kill them or be stareing down the "Game Over" screen for the upteenth time that minute. Also the shotguns, pistols and LMGs become useless as the only thing you'll want to stick to is an assault rifle with a grenade launcher undermount and grenades themselves. Everything else is useless! Oh, remember the Ghoul Engine from the prior to SOF titles and how impressive and ghoulishly fun it was. Gone! Instead you get some lousy blood mist, no cool death animations where they respond to where they've been shot and no organs seeping out just limbs popping off combined with the enemines collasping to the ground. You know, if the physics engine doesn't drag them down into the floor or fire their corpses off into the sun. Graphically, this game is comparable to Rocky Dennis's face and it still loses out. Gotta love that five foot in front of me draw distance with incredibly limited graphical options. If none of that disuades you from purchasing this piece of feculence then maybe when playing on "Normal" you have the life expectancy of a hemophiliac with a penchant for self harm will. You have rebounding health that plummets faster than an Enron stock. Of course, that is the best case scenario. Sometimes you'll be at full health walk into a room and get one shotted outta no where. Hope you like a pitiful checkpoint system. Long story short, play the previous games. Out.
