Soldier Of Fortune 2: Double Helix

Very, nice item & seller. it did take me sometime to figure it out. but, i finally got it.Thanks,BiLL

This is worthless as it is for an xbox not an xbox 360 . This should have a disclaimer before purchasing.

its a good first person shooter i love it

good deal

Good product

i admit it, i thought this game would bite when it first came out and didn't pay any attention to it. but then i read some good reviews (obviously, not here, not sure what that's all about) and played the demo- wow, this game is fun after all... after i actually played it... imagine that.so, are the graphics the end all and be all? umm, did anyone say they were? look, this is a port of an older pc game and the port job wasn't the best. yes, there are better looking games on the Xbox, but Double Helix looks like a lot of others (GR doesn't look any better, with the exception of the character models- and I love GR, but this game is a lot faster and more intense). the only time i didn't think the graphics looked that great were during some indoor scenes. even then, the graphics are, at worst, the same as most PS2 games. otherwise, the game looks decent, especially the sense of scale when you're looking around a large cityscape.yeah, this game has some collision detection issues, but this has become more of the rule than the exception- so what's the problem? a lot of Xbox, PS2, and pc games i play have collision problems (you can see a guard's arm or gun coming through a wall or door, etc.). however, i haven't seen any seam tearing in this game yet, which most games can't claim. i don't know anything about a leaf deflecting a sniper shot. i've never seen anything like that happen in the game. a fluke?the AI can be on the weak side... but it's a lot better when you jack up the difficulty level. considering the number of enemies this game throws at you, i didn't spend much time with strategy and just fragged everyone in sight without waiting to see if they would run or work together. just shoot 'em and move on.the online play = you've seen it and played it before. the only advantage this game has online is that all of the weapons are available and there are a TON of cool weapons. It's fun to hop online for a few games, but i wouldn't buy this game for the online play alone (and i have yet to run into issues with lag. yet).the gameplay? here's some of the action during the first few levels alone:- i was taking out two guards, i accidentally hit a tanker truck behind them and the thing blows sky high taking them and the building behind them out = pretty sweet.- i'm running through an alley blasting guys in front and behind me and all of a sudden this wooden crate comes smashing down. there was a guy above me pushing crates off of a ledge trying to crush me = nice touch.- I grabbed a fixed, heavy machine gun and wasted a courtyard full of guys = bloody!- wasted an entire hotel full of guards, including various body parts being blown off here and there = extra-bloody!!- escorted a scientist (the objective) back out of the hotel.- took over a heavy machine gun in the back of a truck while the scientist drove, blowing away tons of guards of guards, trucks, and one helicopter.- snuck around a train station to try and get the scientist on the train without being seen by any guards = stealth action. somewhat. a little.- once you get back to headquarters, they have you find your way up to a secured conference room for the next mission = changed the pace up a little.- then dump you in a lush jungle where your camp is attacked by rebels and you work with friendly AI to take them out = back to the action!!and that's only about an hour into the game with over 50 more missions like that to go. it's odd that no one complains that the pc version has repetitive levels, and yet this version has the same missions (plus a few extra, but you know what i mean).i agree with Game Informer on this one = it's not the best, but it's a lot of fun and there's a ton to do in this game. if you're a fan of FPS's and action games in general, this game is definitely worth checking out. I would say the RTCW: Tides of War is a much better shooter online, but, for me, the single player game of Double Helix has a lot more action and that's what I was looking for. If you only like games that look better than all others and/or offer incredible new gameplay, wait for Half-Life II, Halo II, and Doom III (and then realize that most games don't fall into that category, anyway). and for reference, right now i'm also playing: Aliens vs. Predator 2, NOLF 2, ut: 2003, ToW, Midtown Madness 3 (xbl only, the single player game is useless), DMC II, Tenchu, and Midnight Club II. so yeah, i like games :)((honestly, this game is worth it just to see a guy's bloody stump flop around at your feet after you've blown both of his arms off with an automatic shotgun...priceless.))

Ah, where do I begin? The storyline is a bore, the voice acting for the most part muttered and terrible, and the levels infuriatingly long and complex. I played "Conflict: Vietnam" on Hard and it was nowhere near so much of a pain in the butt. And before anybody starts getting on me for disliking long and complex levels, know that I played "Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" and loved it. "Double Helix" levels got nothing on the massive depth and scale of Morrowind. But I bought this game, yes, own it still, and to a degree like it. That's mostly because there is a weapons inventory so huge I really don't find time to use or get to know all of what it contains. The number of ways you have to destroy your enemies is quite... numerous. There's at least eight grenades, an RPG-7, a grenade launcher mounted on the M-4, and one of those big grenade launcher things with a revolving magazine. The game also has an interesting graphics feature, one I have never seen before or since- you can shoot off bits and pieces of persons in many many ways. The gamemakers clearly put a lot into that, and it is quite entertaining to, ha ha, destroy the foe in so many ways and then close up to see just where and how you got him.It's the firepower and what you can do with it, to me, that makes this game worth playing. I never cared much about the story- it flips and flops back and forth, and everybody mumbles so much it makes the mumbling problems of the Godfather seem insignificant. Hey, at least in there it was just one guy. In here it's everybody. If you want a game with a true mercenary spirit, play the two "Mercenaries" games and "Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries". In there money is the primary object you fight for and nothing else. In here you fight for a contractor whose purpose is so in line with the Pentagon's I'm amazed you don't take contracts from the CIA and no one else.I also had a fantastic time playing the demo of this on my laptop in high school. [GHS] Hansi, that was me. So, it's partly a kind of nostalgia that helps me to like "Double Helix" as well.So, do I recommend this game? Kinda. But like I said, it's the guns that make it interesting. Not the plot or voice acting.One last note- "Double Helix" once had both online play and downloadable content, but Live for the original Xbox has been shot down as of April 15, 2010- so, RIP, Xbox Live for the Xbox. Too bad.Beware the night vision and thermal goggles, folks. Frightful.

Good game
