Introducing Soldier of Fortune 2, Double Helix. Released in 2002 for PC, then later the Xbox, SOF 2 follows the latest escapades of "The Shop's" special agent John Mullins.

With former partner Hawk now dead, John is teamed up with new partner Madeleine Taylor as The Shop attempts to track down the terrorist group responsible for the unleashing of a deadly bio weapon outbreak in a small Colombian town. As expected, the trail will lead Mullins, Taylor and The Shop around the world to various hotspots as they attempt to get to the bottom of the chain of terrorist and unsavoury activity of all the various factions involved. As they go deeper into the various dealings and events, they soon discover the trail leads much closer to home than they could ever have imagined.

This game series is my personal all time favourite FPS title. The Soldier of Fortune franchise was known for its gory and graphical content, and this second instalment took it up another notch, with redesigned and improved character and damage models. Enemy characters could be damaged in many more ways than its predecessor, taking the gore to a new level. The setting locations on the whole were very well designed and very varied, the combat system however, proved to be a great frustration. The shooting mechanics were very unfair, with linear weapon firing that hit it's target instantaneously when fired. When combined with terrain sprites which obscured the players view, but not the AI's (most notoriously in the Colombia level). Any difficulty level from the second one up proved to be very challenging.

The story however, is in my opinion where the games strength lies. With genuinely shocking plot twists, revelations and great suspense. Soldier of Fortune 2 was on the whole, a joy to play.
