Soldier of Fortune: Payback first-person shooter video game and the third installment of the Soldier of Fortune Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 . The game was released on November 13, 2007.[1]
Unlike the previous two Soldier of Fortune games, which were developed by Raven Software using the id Tech 2 and id Tech 3 engines developed by id Software , Payback was developed by Cauldron HQ .[5] [6]
The game was met with tepid, mostly negative reviews, with many saying the game looked pretty but the gameplay was uninspired. Like the other two games in the series, Payback had great character modelling and gore effects. Owing to the level of violence, the Office of Film and Literature Classification of Australia refused to classify the game. After the game was effectively banned in Australia, a modified version was released on April 23, 2008,[2]
After freelance mercenary Thomas Mason (Kyle Herbert ) is betrayed by his comrade during a mission, he swears revenge against a worldwide terrorist organization that brands all of its operatives with the same tattoo on their necks.[7] [8] [9] [10]
Reception [ edit ]
The game was met with negative reviews. Most critics cited the great character modelling and gore effects. Jason Ocampo of GameSpot scored it a 4.5/10. He claimed that "This shooter is a great exercise in pattern memorization and trial-and-error gameplay." He also said it "looks pretty". Jay Frechette of 1up.com scored the game a 5.5/10. Frechette said "Soldier of Fortune doesn't cross the line of being a bad game, but it hardly ever breaks the surface of mediocrity either."
On October 16, 2007, the game was refused classification by Australia's federal classification board, the Office of Film & Literature Classification (OFLC).[20] dismemberment has been completely removed.[21] [22] [2]
Soldier of Fortune: Payback was banned in Germany due to its high amount of violence.
