As stylistic turnarounds go, this is as shocking as Steps recording a cover version of I Kill Children by The Dead Kennedys. Weirdly, SOF is being developed by Raven Software, previously better-known for pointy-hatted Merlin 'em ups like Heretic and Hexen. The other up side is that it - rather annoyingly - it looks like being a damn good game in its own right. First of all, with any luck, it'll prove cathartic enough to prevent frustrated gun-hoarding lunatics from going gun-bonkers in the workplace. They'll play the game in their makeshift bunkers, surrounded by hunting trophies and rifle racks, taking time out every 20 minutes to salute the flag and spit on a Saddam voodoo doll. You know the sort: all camouflage clothing, pick-ups and fag-bashing. It's the next logical step from the nation that brought the world the Deer Hunter (although it looks miles better than the notorious Bambi-slaying sim ever did): an action game designed to appeal to gung-ho US trailer trash and paranoid survivalists. Why? Well, mainly because we think the sort of people who read Soldier Of Fortune magazine are hateful, jar-headed scumbags. It's likely to whip every angry sociopath in the world into a state of extreme sexual arousal, and frankly this disturbs us. Welcome to the cheery kingdom of Soldier Of Fortune, a first-person shooter based on a sleazy, right-wing gun-love magazine. What are you left with? A frightening environment filled with pain and anger and weeping and violence and, of course, lashings and lashings of hot, creamy death. And then imagine yourself standing on a mountain, hurling said ball as far away as possible - clear over the horizon, so it disappears forever. Imagine you could somehow physically grab hold of all the pleasantness in the world, all the chuckles and smiles and summer afternoon picnics, and then crumple and scrunch them into a compact metaphysical ball with your hard little fist. The Dreamcast version is not вЂњbadвЂќ but playing this with the Dreamcast controller is not a fun time! I do want to point out that if you are playing this game you have to play it on PC. I would not say that Soldier of Fortune is an amazing game, but it does hold up better than some other FPS games I have played from this era. I know that when you go back and play some older first-person shooters, they can often not hold up very well. It gets the job done, but I have a feeling some people might look at the dated visuals and not be able to get past them.

The levels are quite varied, but they lack finer details that make you feel like you are in a real living and breathing world. These days, it is not exactly the most appealing looking game. At the time, people liked the visuals, and though the whole вЂњdismembermentвЂќ thing was very impressive. Well, it looks like a game that was released in 2000. I have said a few times now that Soldier of Fortune was released in 2000. It does have a few multiplayer modes as well, but I am not sure how it will go if you try and get a game going these days. While it is not the kind of game you would play through over and over again, the campaign is fun and it is short enough so that you do not get bored. Back in 2000, this was pretty shocking stuff and it is still pretty effective to this day. You can blow off an arm and watch it fall, you can shoot a dude in the head and watch the brains splatter. The reason for this is that you can hit an enemy in a certain spot and they will behave accordingly. Soldier of Fortune has many different weapons for you to use, but my personal favorite is the sniper rifle. Missions are split into levels and most of the time you have an objective, but just getting to the end of each mission is really what it is all about.

The gameplay on offer here is very shallow, but it is also a great deal of fun. I felt that it was still pretty effective when it went down. I thought the two main characters in Soldier of Fortune were pretty damn cool and while you can see the twist coming a mile away. The game has a pretty decent story that sees some nukes go missing and Mullins and Hawk needing to go all over the world to make sure they do not end up in the wrong hands. The main character is a dude called John Mullins and he along with his bro, Hawk are a two-man army that are called in when the poop hits the fan and things need fixing.
