4.0 out of 5 stars over the top shooter, December 30, 2007

This game may not be the most realistically accurate shooting game out there, but who cares! Its just a game! I bought this and Call of Duty 4 at the same time and asmuch as I like Call of Duty I would have to say that this game has some advantages. For instance, you can shoose which guns you uses before each level. Also you can customize each one with differnt types of sights, silencers, ect. The over the top violence is graphic as can be since you are able to blow off limbs with just one shot which is then followed by a blood spray that would make George Romero cringe.

All in all, no, it's not the best shooter out there, but it is still fun in it's own way if your in the mood for senseless violence with a lot of blood.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the FPS to get for the PS3, November 30, 2007

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Soldier Of Fortune Payback (Video Game)

This is a very basic FPS with very long load times and ALOT of unlockable weapons that open as you complete missions. The problem is that while the controls aren't broken they are just so basic as are the environments that you can help but stave off the yawns as you split apart the bodies of your foes with some fairly cool and powerful weapons. SOF Payback is also following on the heels of COD4 which has set a new standard for FPS gaming. The graphics are mediocre the gameplay is nothing more than shooting one villian after another with occasional demoltion missions. Boring generic and too late to the party this game is almost guaranteed to disappoint in practically every facet, my advice is try out every other NEXT GEN FPS before you give this one a shot as I suspect it might be the bottom of the barrel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best shooter, but fun nonetheless., December 30, 2008

Ok, so this is not the best fps out there for any system. The graphics could have been better and a lot could have been implemented in the gameplay. But for some reason, I just keep want to keep on playing this game. The weapons are pretty cool, and I like how you fight a "boss" at the end of every stage. The gore is cool, not too realistic, but nice to have.

Some of the problems I encountered were I got shot when I was in cover, and sometimes my gun would just kill an enemy when I clearly was off range. I guess it works in my advantage. Online play is Rainbow Six Black Arrow fun, but you will only find a handful of games to play. Maybe a total of 30 people play in the entire server.

Overall, for me, this game is fun if you are looking to just run and gun. But if you are more of a tactical, graphic seeker, Call of Duty 4 fanatic, then this might not be the game for you.
