Solider of Fortune: Pay Back

Well, when you hear that a game is banned form being played or even owned in a country like Australia, you think, this has to be a great game, right???? I guess not. Welcome to Solider of Fortune: Payback, the craptacular game of 2007.

Now, I was a huge fan of the 1st 2 Solider of Fortune games that were highly rated (at least the 1st of the 2) and were quite graphic in nature. With the heads being blown off, the blood spurting, and the limbs flying, these games were seen as the worst, most violent games for a kid to play. On top of that, the actually look and feel of the games were nice. In the latest, we lose the main character, Jon Mullins and are brought a new person. before I go any further, this game just sucks and should not be known as a SOF game.

On top of bad graphics, the physics and the realism was shot form the beginning. and being a Activision title, like its predecessors (Quake IV, COD, and various other action titles), this is nothing like it's cousins. The heat being dispersed from the firearms and the fires is ok at best the skins on the models is what gets me. From the 2 previous games, you see such detail being placed into the people and the environment, and I put the settings at their max and it was horrible.

With that said, I do not recommend anyone getting this title. I would say to get the older versions of SOF and play those. It is a shame that this is what happened to the game series. I hope that if this is not the end of the game series that they wire up and try to at least make it somewhat playable.
