Gamers' Temple
Both fun and challenging, and very nicely walks the fine line between realism and playability.
Read Full Review >IGN
With a great engine, a merciless damage model and AI and the cool Clancy atmosphere, Sum of All Fears is definitely enjoyable.
Read Full Review >PC Gameworld
If you’ve been curious about more realistic tactical shooters but reluctant to try one, this is a great introduction.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
The hit and miss AI and relaxed realism will not appeal to hardcore veterans that are still playing Rogue Spear. Its aids and features is an olive branch to the mass gaming audience not hooked on tactical first person shooters.
Read Full Review >GamerWeb PC
Represents all that is Tom Clancy; a good plot, a good simulation, and quality.
Read Full Review >Gamer's Pulse
Although the game plays similarly to previous Red Storm games, The Sum of All Fears is much easier, and it lacks both preplanning and character advancement elements.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
Here we have a tactical shooter that has all the thrills in all of the right places. [July 2002, p.91]
GameSpot
While it seems pretty clear that some parts of the game were rushed to get it onto store shelves in time for the movie's release, The Sum of All Fears is still a solid team-based shooter that's surprisingly accessible, even for new players.
Read Full Review >PC Gamer
All these practical problems obscure Sum's flat-out brilliant mission design. [August 2002, p.70]
ActionTrip
I like the fact that it's a lot more action-oriented and that the controls are dumbed down, because you can just sit down, relax and play a mission or two.
Read Full Review >Yahoo! Games
Graphically, SOAF walks a narrow line between ultra-realistic settings and way-too-sparse texture mapping.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
The biggest complaint I have with The Sum of All Fears is the mission design. In a word, it's dull. For a game so short, I found myself playing 45 minutes at a time and stopping because the game couldn't hold my interest.
Read Full Review >Adrenaline Vault
It's simply too easy, even on higher difficulty levels, and suffers from a "thrown-together" feeling of being rushed to meet a movie deadline.
Read Full Review >GamePen
Think of The Sum of All Fears as the horribly ill-conceived marriage of "Rainbow Six" and your basic arcade first person shooter.
Read Full Review >Computer Gaming World
There's nothing in TSOAF you haven't already seen; in fact, there's a lot less here than what I expected. [Sept 2002, p.73]
Game Revolution
It is the exact same thing [as "Rainbow Six" and "Ghost Recon"], except for the planning, the intricacy, the strategy, the coordination, and most importantly, the fun.

Bob M. gave it a 9:
Awesome - easy to pick up and overall very fun. Perfect for first time tactical shooter fans, and still fun for experienced players with the scalable difficulty.
