In the grand scheme of things, it's a small nitpick, but one worth noting. Some people might enjoy it, but I just wanted to get back to shooting the bad guys. It's understandable that the developers would want to break the action up here and there, but many of these missions ultimately amount to one huge puzzle, and are usually solved by trial, error. If I had to single out one thing that bothered me about SoF2, it would be the stealth levels, of which there are a few. Aside from the graphics, the AI is easily the biggest improvement over the original SoF, and it's most welcome. Enemies respond to the sounds of gunfire, and will also react when they notice a fallen enemy. They'll hide behind trees, peek out to shoot, throw grenades, chase after you, call for reinforcements and even duck down into grass to hide. Unlike the original game, SoF2's enemies are NOT pushovers, even on the easiest skill level. There are only two games in the last year that I think match up to it on a purely visceral basis - Halo and Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, mostly due to the game's improved AI. The high point of SoF2, by far, is its combat. Also returning is the combat knife, which you'll find handy on many of the stealth missions. There are about 15 weapons total in the game, including a variety of machine guns, shotguns, pistols and grenades. Once you've finished the flashback mission, the game returns you to the Shop, where you're given intel and even get to choose your weaponry before each mission. To help you get acquainted with the game's weapons and gadgets, a short tutorial mission is included.

Missions are a healthy mix of outdoor assaults and tight indoor combat, with a number of stealth missions and arcade-style levels where you'll ride in a truck, helicopter, etc, shooting anything that gets near you. While a few of the levels are a little shorter than what you'd find in other shooters, SoF2 overall is a pretty big game. The game opens up with a flashback mission in Prague, and over the course of nearly 60 levels, you'll visit locations such as Colombia, Hong Kong, Kamchatka, and even an ocean liner en route to Tampa Bay. The plot is decent enough - it has just enough mystery to keep you interested, and is far better than what you'll find in most shooters. Don't expect to see many other ties to the original game, however - this time around, you're tasked with investigating a terrorist group bent on unleashing a deadly bio-weapon somewhere in the U.S. Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix isn't just a solid shooter - it's a huge leap over the original, both technically and in terms of gameplay, and contains a number of advancements that may influence the genre for years to come.Īs in the original game, SoF2 casts you as John Mullins, a real-life mercenary-for-hire working for a covert anti-terrorism outfit known as the "Shop". Soldier of Fortune II includes a "violence lock" feature designed to remove most of the graphic violence and mature dialog, making the gameplay more appropriate for a wider audience.
Resuming the role of international anti-terrorist expert John Mullins (a character based on a real-life Special Forces officer of the same name), players embark on missions set around the world to disarm dangerous plots through intricate covert operations and powerful head-on battles. Running on a modified version of the Quake III Arena engine, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix boasts more detailed 3D environments and a more accurate representation of character damage, both of which are designed to add new aspects of strategy and realism to the proven gameplay of the original release. 2000's Soldier of Fortune offered gamers a first-person opportunity to outsmart evil terrorist plots and battle international criminals with real life state-of-the-art weaponry.
