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.”

“For better or for worse, Soldier of Fortune brings
us 2 or 3 steps closer to the graphic reality of battle.”
- gamespot.co.uk
“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.”
- dailyradar.com
“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?”

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.”
- 3daccelerated.com
“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.”

“Ok. Let's get the questions everyone is asking out the way first.

kill someone are many and varied and usually rather bloody. Yes, everything
in it is as real world as they could make it.”

the shear difficulty of the game itself. Even on medium, I found enemies

every enemy on a given level.”

expect the best you can get when you open the box and play the game.

of Fortune lives up to its expectations.”

health crates, implausible door-opening mechanisms, and thirty-on-one
firefights in which Team Thirty is wildly outmatched.”

goriest games I've ever played, and although I'm not into perverse ultra-violence,
this game really is a lot of fun.”

“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.”
