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.
