GameSpot gives 4.5/10 to Soldier of Fortune: Payback

If you've ever wondered what happened to the Soldier of Fortune franchise, you're not alone. The first two Soldier of Fortune games were popular shooters in their day, blending fun single-player and multiplayer gameplay with the concept of playing as a mercenary. But after 2002's Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, the franchise seemed to fall off the face of the planet. Unfortunately, it should have stayed missing in action because the series has been resurrected with Soldier of Fortune: Payback, a shooter that embraces all the wrong lessons that have been learned over the past decade.

4.5 / 10

In this case looks like the quality of the game was proportionate to its development time...to think this game was announced almost 2 months ago >.>

Its such a HUGE shame that the Soldier of Fortune franchise fell SO low

3 - this game is pure mindless fun

Is this game better then Call of Duty 4? No, but for all that it is, it still is fun. The graphics are way above average, and the multiplayer is fast, fun and addictive. The story mode is a mindless fragfest without a story, but it still is fun none the less. If this game gets extra maps in the future and the price comes down pick it up, you will have fun shooting arms, legs, and heads off. Hope to see you online.
