RATING

Soldier of Fortune is intended for Mature audiences ages 17+. Please keep in mind that there are two retail versions of the game. The full version, which includes a low-violence installation option and the "Tactical Version" which has the low-violence lockout permanently activated.

FEATURES:

Covert Mercenary Missions: Enter the world of a soldier-for-hire, a deadly killer who journeys across the globe's most dangerous, political hotspots-from a speeding freight train in Africa to Iraqi oil refineries to Russian chemical plants.    Take on 30 deadly missions in a race against time that could determine the fate of the world. Brutal Weapons and Violence: Tear your way past enemy lines utilizing the world's most lethal weaponry, including a sniper rifle, white phosphorous grenades, and prototype microwave pulse guns. Real bullets do real damage: shoot someone in the leg and he falls, writhing and grasping his wound; shoot someone in the head and he falls down dead. Living 3-D Environments: Infiltrate foreign locations as non-player characters go about their daily lives as if you weren't there until you blow your cover.
   Beware, you may find yourself tracked by the very organization you were sent to hunt down. Hollywood motion-capture animation by House of Moves adds realism and intensifies the visual impact.
    Multiplayer Hunting: Infiltrate the ranks of the Internet via Deathmatch or innovative multiplayer games, including Assassin, where you track and 
kill a pre-determined player while someone else hunts you; and Arsenal, where you race to be the first to kill an opponent using each of your available weapons. 
    Revolutionary Shooter Technology: Reap the benefits of the 3-D accelerator-optimized Quake II engine, upgraded with Raven's new GHOUL
rendering system for unprecedented enemy detail and violence, faster game play, and the most amazing 3-D graphics to date.

MY REVIEW:

For those that love the first person shootem up type games, this is a must. Warning thou,

if you don't like blood or heavy violence this is not for you and is definitely not for young

kids. I personally think of it as a game nothing more. The graphics on this are detailed

and realistic. The game play was smooth. I played on my laptop that has a Pentium II 366

and a 8 meg 3d card built in. I found that you need the latest driver for your video card or

the game wouldn't run at all or freeze up shortly after starting.

if you have problems with this game use glsetup.com in extra folder on cd
