I love this game. I also love horror movies and movies with lots of action and this game is just great. The graphics are outstanding, especially later in the game. The first few levels look like just about any other first person shooter but after that it's great. Tall grass swaying in the breeze. They say they use the G.H.O.U.L. system to realistically portray damage which is done to the models and it looks gruesome enough. If mixed with Unreal Tournament 2003's ragdoll physics it would be even more awesome. Of course the better it looks, i.e. more realistic, the more the anti-gamers complain. It is mostly the same people who complained about Dungeons and Dragons but thanks to the recent school shootings, their numbers have swelled. I notice it is usually people who have NEVER played video games and who don't want to, who are the biggest complainers. Some of the school shootings were done by children who played video games but ALL of the shootings were done by children who attended school, so we could say that attending school may cause you to become a mass murderer. Well, I love these games from Doom to Soldier of Fortune 2, I'm 36 years old and I love my family, both my children and my parents and I've never killed anyone nor do I want to. I would tend to agree, however, that violent entertainment may desensitize people, particularly children to violence. I think there is a correlation there even to boys who see their dads hit their mothers and then they grow up to be wife-beaters. While this may be true, and I believe it is, I don't feel it would be in the best interest of freedom in America or the world for that matter to have others who dictate what we can read or watch. But I digress, Soldier of Fortune 2 is a fun game, a realistic shooter and well worth up to about 50 dollars.
