This thread has been linked to the game 'Soldier of Fortune 2'.
Traded in my Gamecube today at Game, and managed to get six Xbox games in return:
Freedom Fighters
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix
Soul Calibur II
Spider-Man
TimeSplitters 2
They're all good - if not excellent - games, apart from Soldier of Fortune II, which has to be THE worst first person shooter I have ever played in my entire life (possibly excluding Hexen). It's slow, the controls are about as responsive as an angry Whitestripes on a bender and the whole game reeks in regards visuals and audio. Even the gore - which is supposed to be the game's main gimmick - is crap.
I was prepared to stick with it until I had a taste of the Live play, as Tiltawhirl claims it's excellent... but that isn't much cop either. I had a few goes earlier, and wasn't impressed one bit. Compared to the likes of Unreal Championship and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, SOF2's Live is a big pile of steaming dog muck. I may give the game another go later on if I can be bothered. But I can't see that happening.
Good job I have 10 days to take it back before I'm stuck with it for good.

I had the Gamecube version of Spider-Man. The Xbox version has a few extra levels and an extra boss; Kraven the Hunter... which from a Spider-Man fanatic's point of view is muchos goodos.
Cool.
Spiderman is good fun ;)

The shading in the dark looks like it was done in paint.
That's how high a quality game it is.
Yay paint!
