Played this game when I was a kid.
I really liked the realistic body damage - it made the guns feel powerful like few games do!
Just finished the campain in about 2 or 3 sittings. Lots of action, great shooting galore, satisfying weapons and a wacky cartoon/comic style evil vilain plot.
There are few games that I can come back to and say "this stood the test of time", but SoF is one of those games that could be released as a lo-fi "boomer shooter" in 2024 and you wouldn't complain.
One things of note - be sure to install the SoFplus community patch - it will give you access to widescreen HD resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K, 5K, etc - whatever you want) and new graphical, gameplay and audio options.
Do not forget to change the renderer to the one SoFplus adds to make full use of the patch with added AO, texture enhancement, bloom, etc - the game can really look like a decent 2024 boomer shooter if you do this. 👍
If you have mouse issues - weird skipping and uneven movement - reduce the pollrate to 125Hz, as this happens at 500-1000Hz. I think the SoFplus renderer fixes this, though - but leaving this tip in just in case (it works for other old games).
Overall - worth the money and I think most gamers would find the damage model amusing enough alone to keep them entertained throughout the game. The fact that this works so well on modern systems now is a blessing too!
