    SOF 2 IGN review

    Did not show to be insider content but I will still only post the scores.

    Presentation
    This game suffers from uber long load times, boring loading screens and menus, pretty blah graphics, horrid collision detections, and a huge neon sign pointing out this is one heck of a sloppy port. 4.0
    Graphics
    When a game a next generation console game's graphics can be likened to Ghost Recon and Goldeneye, you know something is wrong. 4.0
    Sound
    Repetitive, annoying sound effects and an almost non-existent soundtrack leaves a lot to be aurally desired. 5.0
    Gameplay
    It's a standard straightforward shooter. You don't need tactics or stealth to get through this one. 6.0
    Lasting Appeal
    With plenty of single player and multiplayer options, you could play this game for months to come. Heaven help you. 8.0
    OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 5.8

    ---

    Why I picked this game up is beyond me? Why can't I stick to sports games? Why can't anyone port a SOF game to a console and make it look halfway descent? Why?

    I have to agree with the 4.0 so far as it is simply fugly. All I have played is the Random map generator, and I thought it was just me, but the graphics reminded me of SOF for the PS2. They are that bland. This thing not only hurt my eyes but the sound is horrific when you walk. Imagine walking on egghells no matter the terrain. Very annoying. The AI on the normal level so far is pretty bad as the enemy tends to not notice you firing right at them.

    Then to add to the annoyance you have atrocious load times just to get to all of this.

    All I can say is if you are questioning getting this one, rent it first or just stick to RTCW.



    On the bright side this could be the game to drive me back to only playing sports games.

    I'm still gonna give this a rental just to see how the online play is.
    Cameras or guns, one of them is gonna shoot me to death.

          After reading the review you it seems like the Reviewer really enjoyed the XBL play but hated the offline stuff.


          I played a little bit online yesterday adn it was pretty good. Almost had a sort of counter strike feel to it. Very quick team games played up to a overall score.

                I've heard RTCW on XBox Live is much better, so that is what I am going to be picking up next week.

                      After playing both I also think that RTCW is the better game. IF anyone only plans on getting one of the titles that is definately the way to go.
