How Metascores Are Calculated
|
A first-person shooter that truly deserves its "M" rating (translation: take the kiddies to grandma's for this gore-fest), SoF puts you in the role of mercenary John Mullins who must hunt down nuclear terrorists and save hostages through 10 levels/locales from a New York Subway to Iraq, Bosnia, and Japan.

A solid Dreamcast title that, despite having a few nagging problems with controls and loading problems, delivers good bloody action & actually, let me rephrase that, & delivers brutally violent, incredibly gory, and horrific bloody action that borders on the perverse.

Hot Games
A much higher score would be given if the ridiculously long 90 second load time between levels had been optimized. Otherwise, it’s a great shooter.

GamePro
It’s good fun for gunslingers who have strong stomachs and who can separate fantasy from reality, but with its average graphics and watery story, Soldier is notable only for its amazingly…um…interactive violence and its place as one of the few semi-realistic shooters for the Dreamcast.

GameSpot
The main problem affecting the Dreamcast port of SoF is the game's ridiculously long loading times. Each game level is broken into numerous smaller stages. Every time you complete a stage, you have to wait more than a minute for the next to load.

Planet Dreamcast
The gore alone will keep you entertained at first, but once you discover the game's detailed graphics and subtle effects you'll be hooked.

Electric Playground
The worst, in a ruin the game entirely sort of way, worst part of SoF, hands down has to be the pathetic artificial intelligence offered up by your enemies.

GamerWeb Sega
Fans of the genre will like it and the gameplay is simple but strangely addictive.

The guiltiest pleasure an individual sick-enough to be a member of the NRA can have locked inside a basement with a big screen TV and a stereo system cranking.

Core Magazine
While some subtle improvements have been made, many of the game's original flaws remain, including lackluster gameplay and a dull story.

SoF is best played as a guilty pleasure…Hankerin’ for some good ol’-fashioned shootin’? [Sept 2001, p.147]

Gaming Age
Through and through, Soldier of Fortune is a mess of a port.
