   I bought this game reading all of the bad reviews and it's not as bad as they say. The single player is pretty bad in the beginning but as you progress it gets better. The one thing I like is the multiplayer. Its very fun and if you want to take a break from cod4 then this is a good alternative. The gore is really funny and entertaining and if you don't want it then you can turn it off in the menu. All in all the single player is mediocre but the multiplayer is good… Expand

   I think this game is great. A refreshing change to everything else thats out right now. You dont get tired of shooting enemies like you do in most other fps's. OK the framerate is a bit dodgy sometimes and you get a tad of slowdown but you forgive it. You get to choose yr weapons before each level and the enemys sneak up on you and hit hard from time to time. Gives you a feel of being a bad ass commando. Like it… Expand

   I've always been a fan of the SoF series for it's 'mindless' gameplay. By that I mean it's like those movies that you just switch off and enjoy. If you've been playing some story heavy games recently like I have then Soldier of Fortune is a good way of clearing your head (no pun intended!). Graphically it seems unfinished as some areas just seem to lack any texture - like faces and weapons - where as other areas look quite nice. The controls seem a bit sluggish at first but can be helped by turning the sensitivity up. With all the great shooters on the 360 at the moment SoF will be easily lost in the crowd but if you see it preowned or discounted (like I did) it's worth a look and should entertain for a short while, as long as you don't take it to seriously.… Expand

   Looks like a PS2 game, plays like its a pre-alpha built. As soon as you press Start, you are dropped in the middle of a city with guns blazing. There is no easing into the action, you are simply dropped in. Which inst necessarily bad. The textures are washed out, and edges are jaggedy. The game looks like a PS2 port to a 360. With games full of unbelievable visuals like Assasin's Creed and COD4 hitting the market. It is hard to believe SOF:Payback was not held back to recieve more polish. Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2 were a great success, SOF:Payback is a great downfall for the franchise, and should have not been released. The only thing that stayed from the SOF's great legacy is the dismemberment of enemy bodies. But that is not nearly enough to cover up for the game's other downfalls. 3/10, and that is being generous.… Expand
