As someone who enjoyed playing Soldier of Fortune recently this game is worse in about every way. The story is overly serious and is a drag to get through. Gameplay is hitscan heavy and forces you down linear corridors where you have to aim perfectly at every enemy and have no room for movement. The GHOUL damage system is also pretty uninteresting. SoF 1 isn't the greatest game but is some decent fun and knows not to take itself to seriously and is a fun "mindless" shooter. SOF2 is none of these things and I highly recommend against it.
