Better Than Shellshock

"Shellshock" is a decent Vietnam game and I would certainly recommend buying it used but if you're only going to play one Vietnam game then "Conflict:Vietnam" is it. It offers a much wider range and variety of missions than Shellshock. For that reason alone it captures the essence of the war's action better. It also requires more strategic thinking. If you just want action for action's sake play Shellshock instead.

what a pain!

This game is too hard at the Beginning but when you learn to use the controls the game is very adictive, is one of the best Conflict series.

Conflict: Vietnam -- An action-packed game!

This game is bound to keep whoever plays it occupied for countless hours.
When it originally hit shelves in late 2004, I immediately bought it (Being a big fan of the Conflict Desert Storm games). Taking you from the base... to the jungle...to a POW camp...to hovering around in a chopper. This game does indeed place you in Vietnam!

Great for single player. Didn't like so much for multiplayer

I loved the single player mode of this game and suggest to anyone that likes single player games to buy it. The controls are a little weird but are easy to catch onto. The multiplayer I was expecting to be just as good. It was a co-op mission in mutiplayer which isn't very good in my opion. Over all I suggest this game.

Paint this Mutha BLACK!

Conflict has the best war game/fighter games on the market to me. And I'm not really a big fan of games outside of sports. But this 3rd installment of the series is gold. It takes you back to the time of Vietnam as you should know by the title. Its the best Vietnam themed game on the market. I hear some people complain over the controls and such.....but like any game it takes time to learn the them and once you do that switching guns and getting health packs become second nature. I do it without even thinking about it because I'm so used to the series.It has a turtorial,use it! Go thru it twice if you have to. What makes this one different from the other 2 before it is its set in mostly jungle backgrounds which require a different stratagy then being in a desert. You never know whats coming at you from where and your always on the edge. You have to lookout for traps and such because you just can't run out guns a blazing or your dead. This series hasn't been known much for its graphics, but come on, when your dodging bullets in a game do you really think to yourself "Wow, he's kinda choppy and the sky isn't really sky blue."? Give me a break. The graphics are good enough for you to know whats what. The soundtrack is kick-ass and I even listen to those songs now and people think I lost my mind. I just tell them I've been thru the "dogs of war"! LOL! If you take your time and and don't let the controls fustrate you then you will truely enjoy this game for the experiance and when you talk to a "Nam" vet tell him you know what he's been thru.Well maybe not,but the game has that surreal feeling. Vietnam was no joke.

Could be better than Shellshock!

A hilarious portrayal of this otherwise very serious war, Conflict: Vietnam exaggerates just about every theme the war has inspired in films such as Full Metal Jacket, the Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now. It is about four men who's troubles begin during a inevitable separation with their Platoon while doing an ordinary patrol through the jungle. The group's Sergeant, Frank Wier, while determined to return to the 101st, is a man that has a much greater agenda in mind other than survival. A true dedicated leader in the war against Communism. And somewhere between scavenging for Intel, destroying hidden weapon caches and eliminating scattered NVA operations throughout the jungle, the true aim is to just make it back to their squadron. You encounter abandoned Buddhist temples infested by VC, explore large networks of underground tunnels, plow through swamps, cliff-hang off the sides of Hues and shoot at NVA militants below with M-60s. I mean, this is a pretty fun game! There are also a few unique missions in addition to the ordinary seek and destroy, where stealth often plays an important role in your run for victory, namely the mission where you help a small group of South Vietnamese villagers rescue some people from their tribe who were kidnapped by the VC.

good game for the new generation

It's great that they take wars from back in the day and make into a video game it give this young generation a history lesson. Even if it's bloody violent I say it has to be that the only way a game can get their attention. Gory bloody games is what out today. This Vietnam has great graphics and good sound you can move all around the board which means more adventure.

Game is okay, nothing too special.

This game is a small step forward from the Baghdad series, the graphics though have been minorly upgraded. The gameplay is a bit frustrating though because enemies seem to shoot through trees and debris to kill you while you have to move closer to shoot them. For pretty much most of the game you have to keep all 4 guys together because enemies constantly come from behind and attack and your buddies just stand there and take the bullets to the back.

The game is somewhat difficult and sometimes they don't offer enough weapons, which forces some of your buddies to walk around with no ammo for some of the missions. They at least got the music and language right though, but that's one of the few positive things about the game.

The game is definately worth renting but with many other war-games out on the market it probably isn't worth buying.

Is it just me?

I don't know if anyone else experiences this but I get really dizzy playing this game. There's something about the visual effects/ coloring/ textures/ rendering/ etc. that makes me feel dizzy. Don't know what's wrong as I still have 20/20 vision. This game is not playable for me eventhough it may be promising. Shellshock is simpler and more playable (no squad commands though).
