The GHOUL rendering system is what makes Soldier of Fortune so amazingly realistic; this proprietary technology lends itself to the most realistic character models and animations seen on the PC platform, without any significant performance loss.

http://www.firingsquad.com/games/soldieroffortune/
For better or for worse, Soldier of Fortune brings us 2 or 3 steps closer to the graphic reality of battle.

http://www.gamespot.co.uk/pc.gamespot/action/solf_uk/review.html
Far from being a workmanlike but bloodsoaked homage to Rambo-esque lunacy, Soldier of Fortune actually turns out to be an inventive and remarkably intelligent test of your first-person combat skills.

http://www.dailyradar.com/reviews/game_review_618.html
Raven has once again taken id's core code, improved upon it and added more fun than Carmack and crew have put into their last two games combined. Plus, there are explosions, big guns and lots and lots of bloody, gibbed bodies. What more could you ask for in a FPS?

This game blows my mind each time i progress in it. It never seazes to impress me, and open my jaw.

Using the engine from ID software's Quake II, Ravensoft has produced a truly unique title in the first person genre. Raven has out-done themselves this time, and I am sure this will send developers back to the drawing board for a game truly unique like this one.

http://www.3daccelerated.com/games/sof/
In a market clogged by underdeveloped first person shooters, released by every company possible, it is rare that a FPS stirs up the gaming community. However, as you all know, Soldier of Fortune (SoF) has somehow managed to do just so.

http://www.wookiesworld.co.uk/games/reviews/sof.asp
Ok. Let's get the questions everyone is asking out the way first. Yes, this game is very very violent. Yes, the ways in which you can kill someone are many and varied and usually rather bloody. Yes, everything in it is as real world as they could make it.

http://www.game-guru.net/reviews/sof/link.htm
The first thing many gamers will notice when playing Soldier is the shear difficulty of the game itself. Even on medium, I found enemies that appeared out of nowhere even though I thought I had cleaned out every enemy on a given level.

http://www.damagegaming.com/reviews/software/sof/
Soldier of Fortune has been hyped for so many months now, you expect the best you can get when you open the box and play the game. In my own personal opinion, I definitely believe that Soldier of Fortune lives up to its expectations.

http://www.gameunit.com/pcgames/reviews/sof040300.shtml
The bloodiest and most realistic in terms of violence.

http://www.gamespot.com/action/sof/review.html
Soldier of Fortune is filled with genre clichés: exploding barrels, health crates, implausible door-opening mechanisms, and thirty-on-one firefights in which Team Thirty is wildly outmatched.

http://pc.ign.com/reviews/12287.html
There's no doubt that SoF is the most horrific, bloodiest, and goriest games I've ever played, and although I'm not into perverse ultra-violence, this game really is a lot of fun.

http://www.pcgameworld.com/reviews/s/soldieroffortune/
In Soldier of Fortune you'll watch as limbs are dismembered, guts ooze out, and heads explode (all thanks to your weaponry). The innocent and the evil alike will be shot, run over by a subway train, chopped up by a fan, and split in two at various points in the game.

http://www.gamespy.com/reviews/sof_b.shtm
If you like blood, guts and gore, there's plenty of it in Soldier of Fortune.

Het is één van de beste 3D-shooters van de laatste jaren en eindelijk weer eentje met een volwaardig single player-gedeelte.

http://www.gamersbackalley.com/Reviews/sof/review_sof.shtml
Put in Action packed gameplay, mix that with alot of guns and ammo , then add blood and some limbs for garnish. Then shake, pour... and stand well back. Because SoF is gonna blow you away.

http://www.beyondtron.com/pc/reviews/sof.htm
As far as achievements goes, Raven has done an absolutely amazing job at providing extreme realism.

http://www.chemwar.org/reviews/SoFpart1.html
Damage modeling is funny and entertaining in a sick, sick way.

http://www.well-rounded.com/games/reviews/sof.html
Violent gory death, fast-paced destruction and guns.

http://www.game-revolution.com/games/pc/action/soldier_of_fortune.htm
It's the bloodiest, goriest, most ultra-violent game ever made.

http://www.spelletjesgarnaal.be/reviews2/sof/index.html (Belgium)
Call me a sicko, maar dankzij dit soort games heb ik tenminste geen neiging om dat in het echt te gaan doen ;-)

http://www.pcplayer.de/ausgabe/2000/pcp052000/sof.htm (German)
Die Geschichte handelt wie bereits erwähnt von einem Haufen Terroristen, die alle miteinander unter einer Decke stecken.

http://www.gamecenter.com/Reviews/Item/0,6,0-3958,00.html
Unflinchingly violent at times, Raven Software's Soldier of Fortune is one of the most intensely realistic games ever committed to CD-ROM.

http://action.pcarena.com/reviews/sof/review.html
As far as action goes, SOF will never let you down. This game simply has some of the best-paced battles I've ever witnessed in a computer game.

Ob die deutsche Version ebenfalls einen grossen Erfolg haben wird, ist zu bezweifeln.

http://www.gamesurge.com/reviews/review_sof.shtml
Soldier of Fortune is a great game for any fan of the FPS genre.

http://www.stomped.com/reviews/sof/
I commend Raven/Activision for good testing and an excellent product.

http://honest3d.com/games/sof/page4/
While they aren’t anything revolutionary (curved surfaces) they get the job done.

http://www.telefragged.com/open.php3?file=reviews/sof/index
Just when you thought Xatrix's Kingpin had squeezed the last bit of power out of the now aging Quake 2 engine, along come Raven, packing some serious heat with Soldier of Fortune.

http://www.3d-unlimited.com/games/reviews/sof/index.shtml
If you want a game with great action, graphics, sound, and just about anything else you want, Soldier of Fortune is our pick.

http://www.gamerscentral.net/articles/2000/4/soldieroffortune/
First Person Shooter games just don't get any better -or more fun- than Soldier of Fortune.

http://www.theoxygentank.com/reviews.shtml?id=sof
I can honestly say that I enjoyed Soldier of Fortune's single player experience much more than Valve's critically acclaimed Half-Life, which a lot of people consider to be the best single player experiece ever.

http://www.maximumpain.com/cgi-bin/maxnews/viewnews.cgi?newsid955332405,2836,
Taking the Quake II engine to the next level, Raven has really pulled out all the stops on this one.

http://www.thecorporation.co.uk/reviews/040900.soldieroffortune.shtml
Soldier of Fortune is a great game, one of the best shooters around. Its cinematic feel is unparalleled, and the action is non-stop.

http://www.bfg10k.com/reviews/sof.php
If you like FPS shooters with guns, gore, and graphics, read no further, just go buy this game.

http://www.bloodshot.org/reviews/soldieroffortune/sofreview.shtml
Soldier of Fortune, developed by Raven Software, adds hit locations, improved lighting, fog effect, motion captured movements, and even more violence than you thought could be crammed into anything based on Quake 2.

http://www.gamespot.com.au/features/au_sof/
Soldier of Fortune has painted an extraordinarily graphic, absorbing and cinematic picture of the momentary aspects of lethal gunplay.

http://www.gamepig.com/reviews/sof/sof.html
Even prior to the release of Soldier of Fortune, it had already gained a reputation for gore galore. For those who were seeking it and looking forward to an FPS game with more realistic violence, Raven didn't disappoint.

http://www.btinternet.com/~craigwebsite/sof_review_interface.jpg
Mind blowing violence: graphics that are just too graphic are a feature of Soldier of Fortune.

http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdr.cgi?zones/reviews/pc/apr00/sof.html
Graphically and sonically Soldier of Fortune is flawless, boasting as it does superb character animations and excellent sound effects and plenty of pyrotechnics.

http://www.gamesurf.de/gsgamecheck.php3?cont=gamecheck/sofr/page1.htm (Dutch)
Ein weiteres Mal wurden Spezialeffekte hinzugefügt und Explosionen, Nebel und viele der Umgebungstexturen sind sehr detailliert und brauchen sich nicht vor den Effekten neuerer Spiele zu verstecken.

http://www.aussiegamer.com/reviews/?id=0020
This is a great game that I would recommend to anyone is not offended by heavy violence.

http://www.actiontrip.com/reviews/soldieroffortune.phtml
The sound is altogether perfect.

http://www.thegameden.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/S/SOF/SOF01.htm
Despite the use of proven technology, Raven Software has totally re-vamped the engine to provide a more visually enhanced form of game play.

http://www.speedy3d.com/reviews/sof/
It's so detailed that if you shoot somebody while they're down then their body jumps from the friction of the bullets entering their flesh.

http://www.gamersdepot.com/games/sof/001.htm
There is nothing more satisfying than running over the carcasses of your deceased aggressors.

http://www.stratosgroup.com/reviews/games/sof/
If you're looking for a fresh, violent, fun single-player first person shooter, Soldier of Fortune will feed your action cravings.

http://www.arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/sof/sof-1.html
In what has to be the most visceral first-person shooter ever put on the market, Raven has recaptured an aspect of gaming that has been lost since we first played Doom.

http://www.gibworld.com/gw-reviews/reviews.php3?id=42
Soldier of Fortune has one distinct advantage over the myriad of other action games in the world today - it has a complex, interesting, and intelligent plot!

http://www.dw3d.com/games/sof/
Thanks to the all new additions to the Quake2 engine, this may the bloodiest games I have ever played.

http://ukgamer.net/index.asp?kind=other&item=Soldier+of+Fortune
As we near the end of professional development of the Quake 2 engine two games remain outstanding. Well last week this number was reduced to one as Ravensoft finally released Soldier of Fortune to the games playing public.

http://www.gameproworld.com/gpw/pc/article/0,1579,5281,00.html
Action games today aren't usually known for their realism, but Raven intends to change all that with its latest entry, Soldier of Fortune, which mixes Quake-like action with Rainbow Six's bullets really hurt philosophy.

http://www.playnow.com.au/reviews/Review558.asp
SoF's innovative multiplayer modes and features make it stand out from the crowd.

Soldier of Fortune is one of the most engrossing action packed titles that I've had the pleasure of experiencing in the past six months of gaming brilliance.

Lately I’ve really been missing single-player FPSs. I’d almost forgotten what it was like to have “plot” and “theme” in the levels. Soldier of Fortune brought it all rushing back to me.

http://www.sharkyextreme.com/games/reviews/raven/sof/

http://www.monolith3d.com/games/sof/sof_review.php3
In my personal opinion, the game is a good one to have in any collection.

http://www.3dnuts.com/sofreview.html
The creators of this game and anyone who plays it deserves to be taken out back and ass whipped with a switch! After playing this game for several hours, I feel as if I should to call an exorcist or go to church!

http://www.krawall.de/features/feature.show.khtml?test_id=sofrev (German)
Es gibt seit dem bekannt wurde, das die amerikanische Version in Deutschland verboten wird, einige böse Dinge die über SoF gesagt wurden.

http://www.gamevortex.com/gamevortex/rb_sof.html
Since its first showcasings at E3 and QuakeCon '99, SoF has been wowing the masses with its groundbreaking innovations in gameplay, and the final build of the game certainly doesn't disappoint.
