Gamers can suit up for top-secret covert operations with the release of Activision's first-person action game, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Based on the critically acclaimed PC title from Raven Software, the game features all of the intense, gritty action found in the original, plus full Xbox(tm) Live support for mayhem-packed, all-out multi-player combat. Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix for the Xbox is currently available at North American retail outlets for a suggested retail price of $49.99 and carries an "M" (Mature - Blood, Violence - content suitable for persons ages 17 and older) rating by the ESRB.

In addition to the single-player campaign, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix also includes full multi-player action via System Link and Xbox Live support. Gamers can choose from 20 multi-player maps and six game types, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Demolition, Infiltration, Elimination and Capture The Flag, as they run-n-gun against up to 12 players. Xbox Live consumers can look forward to additional unlockable content offered at a later date.
