Soldier of Fortune: Payback - Eurogamer Review

This is a game that is very much in love with the idea of shooting naughty brown people. It's not the gore that's offensive here, it's the whole tone of the game. This is a game obviously designed to appeal almost exclusively to the American market.

3 / 10

1 - Ahhh.. I see you mean unlike

Graw, Graw II, And all the other games where you have to take out terrorists.. Now, I wonder why most of them in the current decade aren't white in the games? Maybe it's because the IRA stopped bombing..?

1.1 -

Let me get this straight - they are complaining about the "tone" of the game? Being what? You run around and shoot people in a foreign country?

I wonder what score they will give the new Grand Theft Auto game then? You know, with the "tone" being so violent and all... Eurotrashgamer.com FTW!!

4 - A definite buy... Lol

I really mean that by the way, this game is the third of a full priced game here in EU. Atleast on preorder, i just must buy it for the gore. But it would be nice if there were a WW3 game were you was fighting against USA =)

4.3 - Bazookajoe

I'm not sure I'd be interested in playing a FPS against the U.S. where you probably would last all of two seconds. If they ever used their full military might and stopped worring about protecting civilains and what the media thought about them, any conflict would be over in days.

5 - I agree that tis game looks bad but...

That reviewer is the sterotypical european who thinks that all Americans think "brown people" are evil. Grow up. Half of the U.S. military is made up of "brown people." The reviewer is nothing more than a snob who has no idea about what is really going on in the world.

P.S. Baghdad is now almost clear of terrorists. They are on the run to the north.

BTW: Baghdad. Great. Good, then they are back where they were before the war started (*). Just a reminder. This whole "terrorist" thing started when some Saudi terrorists dropped some bombs. Well, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Irak, Iran. Who cares. All the same, no ?

(*) well, there was one there before, Saddam, but he didn't drop bombs anywhere in the world.

You want to play a game as a group of terrorists that cut the heads off of and blow up random civilians? No thanks.
