Closer to 3 1/2, but definately not 4

I'm only reviewing after playing the demo, but from what I've played, I can basically review this as if I've played most of the game.

Unlike what some of the people here are saying, the graphics are generally really good. There are some very WEIRD animations in the game, and just a few bugs, but the graphics are very nice, really give the feeling of being in the jungle. I found that the blood effect was really bad/unlrealistic looking. Now, I've never seen someone really get shot or anything, but to me, the blood just looked too bright and too much of it. The gun models generally looked good. Explosions are pretty satisfying.
8/10

Now, the sound; VERY disappointing. The Thompson sounds so fake its not funny. The PPsh sounded really crappy too. There were times when I couldn't distinguish the different gun sounds when my whole team was firing, and the team had just about everything - M60's, M16's, Thompsons, M14's, and then the VC were shooting, and I couldn't really tell the difference. Now, there is a lot of swearing in the game, but its not like Brothers In Arms, where even though they run through the full gamut of expletives, they don't sound like they were put there just to be there. In MOV, I thought it just seemed like they developers tried to put in swear words everywhere, not necassarily to fit the situations like BiA. Overall, very disappointing.
5/10

I'm not really going to spend much time describing the gameplay, because that is definately different to everyone. All I will say is that I genuinely felt like I was in the jungle; I was looking out to the side for traps and the VC the whole time - very immersive. I just wish the blood/gun sounds/swearing was re-worked.

Not That Great

A no. of viatnam based games have recently been released ... must say ,that this one is the best of the lot. But what to say the competition is not much at all. The first thing u notice about the game are the graphics , the graphics are not at all up to the standard of the new games that have come out resently ...there is a lot of detail ...the jungles are well created and the grass looks great ... but just when u play the game it feels that somethings are missing as though the graphics were hurried.. one poor animation is of the guns...allied forces and call of duty had far better gun animation (both games are 3 and 2 years old.)
Now to the gameplay ... i got bored pretty soon .. there was not that feeling of eargency that i felt in call of duty ...
The game does in the biginning give a feeling of the difficult times the men faced in the viatnam war .. but this feeling does not last.. its fast starts to get a bit boring ..and u start wishing when will this game finish..
Well after i finished i did enjoy it ... but i am sure i will not give it any replay value..
As for multiplayer goes .... i still prefer to play call of duty of battlefield 1942.... They are just far better games..
if u are looking for a viatnam based game... then plzz purchase this .. but if u are just a wargame fan ...i would not recommend this purchase.

good animation

I will say this game is more of an animated vietnam movie,its heavily scripted.at certain points yo lose control and the little scenes play out and you cant shoot or move, very iritating.For some reason some of the trees and bots will turn totaly white like a siloette.that could be a video card issue but I understand other people have had this problem.The voilence is good,I realy enjoyed the viet cong women.very intense battle situations but unfortunately this actualy gets old after awhile.I also noticed right off as a military buff and historian,a few mistakes.These guys are marines right ?well they are wearing Army issue flack vests instead of the marine ones and the snipers have M-21's with the ART scope,well thats an Army weopon.Marines usualy used a Bolt action 30.06 REM or something similiar in those days.This is not acurate at all sorry.The playability is decent but not up to par with MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT.

this game sucks

While I was never in Vietnam, I was in the military in 1976; and this has the feeling of one of the more realistic Vietnam War era games out there. But there is also a large fun factor in this shooter too (along with being able to use some interesting weapons taken off dead enemies).

good nam game

I've played vietnam games a lot like Viet Cong, NAM and this one is right up there with them. good graphics, storyline and weapons....Love the part where planes come in and napalm an area. The load times are long and no gauge or level to see how much time before gameplay starts....lot of swearing and bad language in the game - but it's a lot of fun!

Nice game

This game sure gives me the feeling of "been there, done that" in its gameplay. I am refering to Medal Of Honor and Call of Duty, except those games had a decent game-save feature. Here you have to wait for the game to automatically save itself because you can't. The result is that when you're killed you must replay the same action again and again until you get it right and can proceed. It even has the little compass so you'll know which direction to go, which is only another way of saying that this is a super linear game. It might appear to be a great big jungle for you to explore, but there is really only one way for you to go. This copy-cat game can be fun at times, but the feeling of deja-vu transcends the experience. This game is completely unoriginal and, if you really want to try it, just wait for the price to drop before you get it.

Crappy game

wow when you play this game it's like playing a medal of honor game except you die to fast now i'm a fan of shooters like Brothers in Arms, vietcong, and The one good medal of honor game pacific assault but this game just sucks alot of the gear is the wrong type for the period marines using M21 sniper rifles for one those weren't fielded till 1969 by the army not the marine corp they used bolt action .308 Remington 700's confirgured for sniping and since does a grenade landing rigth in front of a guy and him running backwards away from it about 10 feet not kill him last time i checked most shrapnel spreads go on fro about 20 feet from a frag grenade overall it just felt like a crappy game it has bad graphics weak sound and lackluster gameplay

I bought this game, only to find out that it would not work on our PC. If you do not have a T&L vidoe card, it will not run. BE SURE YOUR VIDEO CARD IS A T&L BEFORE YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!
