Soldier Of fortune Platinum Edition

P.S.:I bet you nobody will be playing on Soldier of Fortune Multiplayer!
Scincerly SOF1,2 Lover,
POO(Im not tellin you my name)

Shoot a guy in the foot, and watch him dance around on one-leg; take out a leg, and watch him squirm on the floor; deliver a slug in the gut and listen to your victim moan in pain and even beg for mercy; if you're really serious about this thing, go for the head shot and watch it explode like a watermelon. That's the main attraction of SOF. I can perfectly understand why some parents would not want to let their youngsters see such gratuitous yet oh so cool violence, and there is a parental control lock that will take the realism out of the game.

Soldier of Fortune is much more than an excuse to revel in gratuitous violence. The game play is excellent, rivaling that of the Quake series and Half-Life. The fact that you must complete specific missions makes it much more cerebral than many a first-person shooter, yet the game is not so difficult that you find yourself getting hopelessly stuck every five minutes. Sure, there could be more variety among enemy actions, and strategy sometimes equates to little more than just blasting away willy-nilly at the bad guys, but Soldier of Fortune really has everything I want in a first-person shooter. The addition of "friendlies" adds a further little challenge to the game; as much fun as it is to blow away innocent, unarmed civilians, too many collateral damage deaths can make your mission a failure. Your weapons and equipment are the types of things a real soldier of fortune would carry, not some crazy science fiction gizmos. Your missions, while fictitious, are taken out of the pages of current world history, giving you the chance to take out vicious terrorists who represent a clear and present danger to basically the whole world. This is as close to becoming a hero as I will ever get (even though being a soldier of fortune is as much about making money as it is about taking out the world's bad guys).

The Platinum Edition includes all of the extra multiplayer features of the Gold Edition along with five brand new multiplayer maps, a video preview of SOF2, and the complete online version of the official Strategy Guide from Brady Games. The game has a little age on it now, but it's still a heck of a lot of fun to play. I would only ask that you make your own decision to play this very realistic game or, if you are a parent, you make the decision as to whether or not your child or teenager should take on these violent missions; don't let "them" tell you what you and yours can handle.
