If you keep the original menus, the bottom part of the menus may not be visible. Note that the horizontal FOV isn't changed, so you will actually see less instead of more.
Since the missing information is at the top and the bottom, I don't consider this a big problem. The example image below shows this. The red box indicates what area would have been visible with an aspect ratio of I'm still working on this.
This will be in the next relase of SoFplus. And we all know how well that turned out. Things are looking good for Soldier Of Fortune. It isn't easy being this hypocritical, you know. On the one hand, we believe Soldier Of Fortune to be vile anarcho-porn of the highest and most hideous order -a shamefully slick helping of fascist super-violence designed to satisfy the xenophobic bloodlust of dunderheads, bigots, macho dickballs, and the many thousands of dangerous gun-toting, Armageddon-quickening paranoiacs currently squatting inside self-built bunkers-cum-armouries in two-horse US towns with names like Jarhead, Ohio, feverishly stroking their shotguns while they pore over their bomb plans.
And on the other hand? We like it a lot actually. If you're lazy, truly lazy, then here's a capsule, sum-it-all-up-in-a-sentence review: "Soldier Of Fortune is an ultra-gruesome, real-world take on the Quake genre that's nowhere near as good as Half-Life, and is demonstrably sick and wrong, yet exerts an unusual addictive pull all of its own. Now you lazybones can tootle off to the end and gawp at the score, while the rest of us have a laugh at some of the game's content.
In SoF, you play a character called John Mullins. His name's John, but everyone calls him 'Jam'. It's all "don't go in there, Jam", and "watch your back, Jam". Jam is a Vietnam vet, a firearms expert, an experienced mercenary, and easily the most laughable prick ever to have stepped foot inside a computer game since the eponymous star of the execrable Leisure Suit Larry games reared his wormy little head before a disinterested world. Jarn 'Soldier of Fortune' Mullins is an absolute dingleberry.
A tool of the highest order. He looks just like celebrity chef and Sunday morning Godslot presenter Kevin Woodford, so it's hard to take him seriously and even harder to resist the urge to somehow twist the gun round and watch him blow his own head off. He's also totally lacking a sense of humour. This man takes himself more seriously than Goebbels, as do his mates at 'The Shop' the shadowy organisation of mercenaries for which he 'works'. In fact, every single person in the game stomps around pulling expressions of utter, steely-eyed seriousness, delivering duff lines with such grim self-importance, you keep hoping - praying- that one of them'll blow off in their combats or something, just to break the ice a bit and make them smile.
If you had to sit next to one of them at a dinner party, you'd probably end up taking your own life with a cheese knife before the main course hit the table. He's easily the most ludicrously over-the-top villain you'll have seen in your life -- even if you've spent your entire life watching Sky Movies. Fortunately for Jarn, who's clearly unhinged himself, tracking down Dekker and, er, his stolen nuclear warheads involves visiting a host of glamorous around-the-world locations and shooting a frankly jaw-dropping number of people.
It's like watching an edition of Holiday hosted by those Columbine High School maniacs. At which point, it's worth pointing out just how gruesomely violent SoFis.
You can, quite feasibly, shoot the gun from a man's hand, then take his leg clean off while he begs for mercy - and then blow his head to jelly as he slumps, screaming, to the floor. And once he's down, you can stab him in the face, you can circle around picking off the remaining limbs with a shotgun, or you can pump round upon round of machine-gun fire into his lifeless body and watch it jerk about.
This is not a nice game. Playing this game must be bad for you. It feels bad for you. There are. There are machine guns and rocket launchers. There's an excellent sniper rifle and a downright hideous flamethrower. There is screaming and bloodshed. At the end of each mission, you're given a tally listing the number of head shots, neck shots, groin shots You'll want a bath afterwards.
And then you'll go back to finish off the next level. It's undeniably fun to play. The levels aren't particularly taxing, but they are on the whole imaginatively designed. The real-world setting adds to the thrill, as does - and we're almost ashamed to admit this - the outrageous level of violence.
The graphics are exemplary throughout, as is the use of sound the music's a bit sucky, but it is 'dynamic' - ie it reacts to the action. The weird and slightly frightening thing is, if SoF was set in the spaceports of Mars, or the fictional netherland of Etemia, or wherever, it's doubtful whether it would have held our attention for so long. Fact is, the nigh-on pornographic buzz of spraying a modern-day office with gunfire, taking limbs off be-suited, screaming enemies left, right, and centre, while a standard neon strip-light buzzes overhead, keeps you glued.
That may be wrong, but it's the honest truth. The ultra-violence is eye-poppingly hideous - but it's also whisper it quietly perversely satisfying, in a please-God-don't-let-this-corrupt-me kinda way. But it would mean nothing were the game itself not so damn playable. Soldier Of Fortune is a balls-out, whisky-swilling, flag-waving, carbine-smoking, xenophobic, fascistic, cathartic arcade game that you'll end up playing more than you should.
It probably deserves to be banned - but while it's here, let's enjoy it quietly. Oh, and we'd recommend taking short breaks to read some Enid Blyton or a Mr Men book or something. Returning the game because it's too sick? That's got to be a first for one of our readers. All in all, the general consensus is that most of you find the extremely explicit violence fascinating, while being aware that it is wrong. Want to take part in a quick experiment?
All you have to do is read the following words and monitor your reactions carefully. Here we go: Guns. Muzzle flare. Zapruder footage. Heavy recoil action.
