So, the most unique aspect of Soldier of Fortune turns out to be the detail put into the action, such as the way enemy teams will move in on you, and the weapons.

The idea of playing covert operatives is nothing new for PS or PS2 owners, as we've had Gabe Logan and Snake to please us, not to mention the other 'team' titles like X-Squad and Eidos' Project Eden. Apart from Mullins, we have the tie-in to Soldier of Fortune magazine, profiling guys with guns for hire as long as I can remember. Mullins may have the resume to beat among military elite, but he still seems to be shooting his way through the kind of predictable levels we've seen many times before. The success of a character is only as good as the story behind the character, and this is where Soldier of Fortune breaks down a little, IMHO. So, for those who like their gaming connected to the real world, Soldier of Fortune sits on the same ground as Tom Clancy's games and any of your garden variety historical strategy titles. Mullins is a real guy, with real credentials and the kind of military record that makes terrorists sit up and take notice. When you take on the role of John Mullins, you're not just stepping into videogame fiction. No need for aliens, futuristic themes or other time-traveling, body-morphing activities. While FPS games have gone more and more toward sensational, far-out storylines that can either accentuate great gameplay or cover up a pile of poop, Soldier of Fortune takes us back to basics. The cutscenes that play in the game's engine come up to show events between levels and sometimes critical happenings mid-level. The sound and music is fine, with ambient sounds that increase the tension and some real racket from arms fire and explosions. Character models are detailed, and the environments look good, but nothing to knock your socks off. You can turn off the gore, which leaves us with a good enough example of FPS, albeit not as strong as Timesplitters or a post launch title like Red Faction. The visuals, sickening as they may be, are high enough quality, but the framerate stutters at times. So, big technical achievement, but how do I feel watching this stuff after the recent attacks on the US and the subsequent warring overseas? Frankly, if I want to see sickening blood and guts, I'll turn on the TV. Head shots tear off heads, shooting someone in the arm or leg leaves them minus one appendage, or both depending on where you aim.

One of a slew of FPS games released for PC within the last year, Soldier of Fortune had the distinction of offering ways to shoot body parts off your enemies. We have good and bad, of course, but where you decide Soldier of Fortune falls may depend on your attitudes toward violence and the current political climate we're facing. Wasn't it the XBox that was supposed to get all the ports of PC games? Nah, just kidding, I love the fact that PS2 is seeing more of the titles that made an impact on the PC gaming world.
