Author's Review
General- I believe its important to know a little about the person doing the reviews, so here's mine. Myself, I'm an 40 something internet gamer, and mostly play all my games vs others over the internet. Most all my games are first person shooters, mixed with some stradegy games. However, I do find myself playing against the computer from time to time like in SOF2. Overall, I very much enjoyed the muliplayer demo, and found the retail game even better. I have played SOF1, and it is an upgrade both technically, and in the play realism. This game is definately worth the purchase.
Gameplay- Rather than characters just falling over when shot, body parts will fly. Shoot someone in the head with the shotgun, and guess what, you remove there head. I find this more realistic than just falling down after a blast to the head. The same goes to other body parts, shoot them in the leg, and they aren't dead, but limp. This holds true in Mulitplayer, and is called there 'Ghoul' technology. You must be accurate with your aiming, a shot to the head whether its a rocket or a pistol, will kill them. The rocket launcher is slow loading, and in firing. This way one weapon doesn't rule the map like in SOF1. Every weapon has a different advantage and disadvantage. Sniping is a riot as it is in most all multiplayer games. There are various game styles to play in multiplayer, Infiltration, Capture The Flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch. Yes, from a multiplayer stand point, this game is a riot!
Graphics- The graphics are much better in the retail version than in the demo version. The graphics really come out in the jungle/forest maps. The graphics are very sweet!
Sound- Sounds are what you'd expect, and it supports my EAX. Which can be very critical in mutliplayer gaming. If I hear guns shots in my right speaker, I know I better shot my barrel in that direction.
