I just got this game yesterday and I was impressed with the over all presentation. Sure it's no Halo 2 (comes out in less than 30 days) mind you, but it's not supposed to be. This is a very accurate vietnam war game. I myself own some of the weapons that are avalible in the game (Colt 1911, SKS, M14), and they all sound and reload the way they do in real life. The single player game and 2 player cooperative mode is very well done. The trees, voices, and best of all the explosios all have very nice touches added to them. Both the enemy and allied AI is good but not great. The soundtrack is another stong point for the game it consists of 60's and 70's music combined with a classic modern battle score. The developers 2015,were previously with EA games and made allied assualt. The first medal of honor on ps1 was a breakthrough in ww2 games, and at the time was created by dreamworks interactive. Electronic Arts being as greedy as they are bought the small development team and like their sports franchises tried to create a monopoly. MOH Allied Assault was a great game on the PC but it lacked what war was all about, blood and more importantly the attitudes of the men who fought it. MOH frontline was a scaled down version of allied assault for PS2 and was a direct port to XBOX, as was Rising Sun. These were both ok games, but they were lacking something. Men of Valor powered by the unreal engine improves the over concept of the first person war game genre and adds several new game features like the ablitily to bandage your self when you are bleeding, and being able to search dead bodies of both enemies and allies. If you do not use cover and tactics you will not last long, you are not a geniticaly engineered superhuman cyborg that can jump 10 feet in the air and then do a 180 in mid-air, while shooting some one in the head with a sniper rifle from 200+ meters, you are an average soldier with a small amount of health and average abilities. I have not played the online multi-player enough yet but the class based system should be interesting. If the game would have come out a few months earlier like it was supposed to it would recieve much more praise, but with Halo 2 on the horizon it will quickly be over shadowed, and it might not recieve the following that it deserves.

Low score given by IGN but I rate it high

Game sets in '68 Nam. You start as a private and advance higher and higher through the ranks. Game play is very good, very challenging but it has it flaws as does every other game out there. I'll give you a for instance: During gameplay you and your squadmates are engaging the Vietcong and your allies will run right into the enemy and the enemy will find you first and shoot at you. But during later missions your squad will actually get in some great shots to aid you. Graphics are outstanding, voice-over is a little off. Very graphic about blood and body parts and yes very course language. Has a great soundtrack from the 60's. Be warned this game is very, very long. Another plus, it has co-op play so you and your buddy can play split screen or even on XBox Live. So, enjoy this game because, I love it.

THE BEST WAR GAME BAR NONE!!!

PLEASE DONT MAKE TO MUCH OUT OF THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS. I CANT BELIEVE THE DISS BY OXM (OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE)REGARDING THIS TITLE. THE GAME PLAYS PRACTICALLY LIKE HALO, W/ THE EXCEPTION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO JUMP (NO BIG DEAL). THE GRAPHICS ARE A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. THE NARRATION AND PRESENTATION ARE WELL SCRIPTED. THIS GAME IS A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF THE CULTURE OF THAT TIME.IE..THE LANGUAGE/CURSING (WHICH YOU PROBABLY DONT WANT KIDS TO PLAY..BUT THATS WHAT WAR/KILLING/STRESS WILL DO TO YOU) ALSO, THE MUSIC REALLY ADDS A ELEMENT OF REALNESS TO THE GAME (MOST WAR TYPE GAMES I'VE PLAYED DO NOT EMBRACE THIS FACTOR). I DEFINATELY LIKE FACT THAT (VIVENDI) HAD THE COURAGE TO TELL THIS STORY FROM THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE, WHICH IS EVIDENT IN DEAN'S LETTERS TO AND FROM HIS FAMILY. MEN OF VALOR IS A GAME THAT WILL KEEP YOU BLASTING AWAY MUCH LONGER THAN HALO 2 IN TERMS OF LONGEVITY. ONE OF THE KNOCKS ON THIS GAME IS THE ENEMY (AI). YES, YOU SOMETIMES SLIP UNDER THE RADAR BUT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS I WISH I COULD!! THESE CATS WILL CUT YOU DOWN IF YOU TRY THE BUMRUSH TACTICS.. GO AHEAD AND TAKE ME UP ON IT!? AFTER ALL IS SAID, I'M GIVING THIS GAME 5 STARS. HI! MY NAME IS D. TUCKER AND I APPROVE OF THIS GAME ;P

What a tremendous surprise!

All I can say is WOW!The awsome graphics ,The awsome sound which is also better that holo 2(sound that is),and the very grand presentation and story some of the battles you fight will have your heart completely racing its that good. I played trough this game in about 15-20 hrs I didnt really keep up with it.A few days later i got my copy of Halo 2 As huge of fan as i am of Halo I'll have to admit I had more fun with this game.Halo 2 is only about 11-12 hrs long and you can read my review on it I was disapoited.Be warned if you are offended my vulgar languge or if you crack under pressure this is not a game for you.most of us may be to young to haved served in vietnam thankgod,but this game puts the hell our soldiers went trough in a new context in your brain up till now if you werent there yourself I guess you have visions of Vietnam from movies Like Platoon,Apox.Now,Hamburger hill,in this game you mind will go into vietnam overdrive.I would go to bed and have dreams of VC poping outta bushes and diffrent things like that,it really gave me better perspective on the war then,and a greater appreation for are military men and women fightin in Iraq and Afganistan,if anythin after you play this game I believe you will Have A better understaning of the phrase War Is hell,atleast as much as you can get without have being there.

this game rocks

It is!
Its better than Conflict:Vietnam,ShellShock and BATTLEFIELD:VietNam.
Its the most fun not to mention the best realism,best graphics and visuals.
if you own an XBox this will be the top Vietnam war game.If you own a PS2-probably Conflict,a gamecube-Uhh Conflict?
i own all three systems-MOV is best.

Excellent Co-Op

My Sister & I (both females) love this game and have played it several times. We are always looking for coop games to play together especially military games. We love the different levels, shooting (especially-sniper shooting), sneaking around and general mayhem. I would definately recommend this game to anyone. It's a must buy.
