What is Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix?

If you like your shooters full of gore and flying body parts, Soldier of Fortune II will warm your heart and turn your stomach.

We're talking hard-core shooter experience here. Soldier II is bloodier than its predecessor and wastes little time on puzzles and hidden passages. Instead, you get gross-out gunplay at every turn. Bodies twitch. Limbs fly. Heads split. A steady stream of drug runners, arms dealers, and other enemies clamor to be destroyed.

As in the first Soldier of Fortune, you play John Mullins, a mercenary working for the Shop, a secret antiterrorist group. An earlier mission has come back to haunt you. Dr. Piotr Ivanovich, a bioweapons expert once smuggled from the Soviet Union, has news of a lethal viral agent that Colombian cartels and terror groups are trying to sneak into America.

To stop this attack, you take on ten tough missions with more than 60 levels. Locations include Colombian jungles, hospitals, snowy airports, Hong Kong hotels, and even a cargo ship. You lead seek-and-destroy missions, sneak into enemy installations, rescue hostages, and gather information, leaving a trail of bodies in your wake.

Bloody combat is the main selling point of this game. You blast a parade of enemies with 14 weapons. A gloriously gruesome device called Ghoul 2 technology provides 36 damage zones on each enemy.

So flex that trigger finger and split heads, send arms and legs flying, and even cut torsos in half — all in stomach-churning color.

Patched to v1.03 ("Gold edition"). Prologue cutscene plays fine and performs really well at max detail settings in 1600x1200 resolution, then the game locks up while loading the first level. Tried turning off all graphical effects and lowering the resolution, game still locks up. A comment on a website somewhere says the game "broke with Tiger".
