(continued from previous page) ...well, making for some frustrating encounters. During these occasions, we literally had to scroll our cursor over a general area, note where it turned red, and then zoom in and take the enemy out. Not to even mention when foes spawn behind you in areas you’ve already passed through.
A recurring trend in this generation lays in short single player experiences, and Payback has clearly jumped on the bandwagon. With a campaign that’ll clock in at around six hours (that you most certainly won’t want to play again), at least there’s multiplayer to look forward to. Regrettably, the multiplayer isn’t all that captivating.
First of all, the online mode, which offers play for two to twelve combatants online, removes all gore, which was the best thing that Payback had going for it. Offering a standard feature set seen in plenty of other shooters (deathmatch, capture the flag, etc.) just isn’t enough anymore. It’s entertaining for a bit, but ultimately an unoriginal and forgettable addition to the title.
Soldier of Fortune: Payback isn’t terrible; it’s just not superior to anything else on the market as of now. Its one unique attribute, extreme gore, is all this title has going for it. Decent graphics don’t overshadow glaring gameplay flaws and lazy development decisions. Fortune doesn’t shine on this soldier.

Why is there a screen shot from the 360 version? Surely it should be the PS3 version you're reviewing.
Doesn't matter. Both suck just as much anyway.
It`s not out in Europe yet I'm guessing?
I really couldn't stomache trying to beat the first level and I can normally play some unfavorable titles. This one is just bad beyond belief.
HAHAHA I love how much this game sucks!
I found the A.I. quite formadable and the graphics exquisite the utmost degree, I recommend this title for game of the year. you people do not know a masterpiece when you see it. This is undoubtably the best game ever made!
^(hint)^ that was oviously sarcasm fot those who didnt get that...lol
add me: Fallen_Guardian
looks sh!te
i can't believe how badly this game has completely ruined the Soldier of Fortune name. Soldier of Fortune 2 was easily one of the best shooters i ever played, but Payback has been the biggest disgrace the FPS genre has seen in a LONG time.
lol. i remember playing this game on the ps2 all the time with my buddy in highschool. it was just funny how th ai sucked. they basicly would come up behind you in two player mode and kill you. but, it was still fun sometimes with the rocket launchers when you would go crazy
as crappy as these games have been i have loads of fun dismembering people lol
Good and fair review
ok this game is not as bad as they saying ok the story line sucks as for the gameplay its a he.ll of fun if you liked the 1st and the 2nd one your love this one for sure i mean killing people is so much fun lol
???? What did i just play ????
this game was pretty bad but if your just want to tear somebody apart there ya go
