The original PC release of Soldier of Fortune garnered critical praise and a loyal fan base. The thoughtful, violent first-person action comes to the PS2 console with this port by Pipe Dream. Players take the role of super-soldier John Mullins, a highly-skilled mercenary hired by the government to take care of some business that's a little too messy to be dealt with through more official channels. The mission, which will lead Mullins through ten dangerous international locations, is to track down and eliminate members of a powerfully deadly terrorist organization.

Brains can be more effective than brawn and it may serve the operative well to maintain a low profile. Other characters in the game will react naturally to Mullins, often ignoring him unless he blows his cover. Enemies also react realistically in battle. 26 distinct hit locations determine enemy's response, falling to the ground in pain when shot in the leg but dropping almost instantly when shot in the head. Mullins' equipment includes a wide selection of modern weaponry. With a sniper rifle, grenades, and futuristic prototype pulse gun at his disposal, part of the challenge is to choose the right weapon for the job.

Features:
Use any means necessary to find four stolen nuclear warheads
Eliminate a terrorist organization
You are John Mullins, veteran of three tours in Vietnam, and the best there is

  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

Hired to hunt, paid to kill – Soldier of Fortune – Gold, the best-selling first-person shooter, is coming to PlayStation 2. Codemasters has secured from Majesco Sales Inc the European publishing rights to Raven Software’s 18-rated classic. With the atmosphere of a blockbuster action-thriller, Soldier of Fortune – Gold plunges the player into a no-holds-barred modern day scenario. As John Mullins, the world's deadliest soldier of fortune, track down and take out a fanatical terrorist organisation with force.

Soldier of Fortune – Gold submerses Mullins in the deadly world of a gun-for-hire with covert missions spanning five continents. The game’s 10 covert missions, covering 26 levels of play, take in the underworlds of political hotspots across the globe. As Mullins engages in sabotage, stealthy assassination, and full frontal assaults, it’s the player’s skill as a clear-headed marksman that separates the hunter from becoming the hunted.

Mullins has access to lethal weaponry including a sniper rifle, grenades, plastic explosives and prototype pulse guns. Real bullets do real damage; shoot someone in the leg and he falls, writhing and grasping his wound. Shoot someone in the head and he falls down dead. The detailed enemy characters have hit points all over their bodies; take aim and fire – whether an opponent is left floored or terminated outright is up to you.

Powered by Raven’s GHOUL rendering system, the game displays unprecedented detail and realism in its creation of locations and character model animation.

For the player who could do with some target practice before setting off, the game also includes a tutorial option.
