Product description Vietcong takes you into the dense, steaming jungles of Vietnam during the deadly conflict between American & North Vietnamese forces against the rebel Vietcong! Amazon.com Review For reasons beyond my comprehension, at the time of this writing (April 2003) there are a plethora of games available that cover virtually every major combat or war in human history, with the exception of Vietnam. There are, obviously, a handful of titles centered around that conflict, but no major releases that were notably popular or well-done... that is, until now. In Vietcong, you'll play as Sgt. Steve Hawkins, an Intelligence Officer who transfers to Nui Pek Camp, but there's no real story to speak of. Get your mission objectives in a briefing, go kill some Charlies, and repeat. Vietcongis a first person shooter tends to straddle the line between a tactical FPS and a Quake-style FPS. It's a mixed bag where enemies take anywhere from one to ten bullets to kill, and the action varies wildly between slowly plodding through the jungle and running through it like Rambo. This odd variation makes the gameplay tough to get used to. There's also online play available in the standard deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and last man standing flavors. Levels are typically laid out in moderately narrow corridors that you must travel through with a squad of friendly AI soldiers filling a number of roles like pointman, radioman, medic, machinegunner, etc. Herein lie the first two major problems with the game. First, since the levels are filled with visually obstructive but technically "not there" foliage, it is oftentimes impossible to tell where you're being shot from, and quite frequently even when you can see an enemy, the only thing you can actually see is sporadic muzzle flashes. This may be realistic, but the AI is seemingly unaffected by concealment from foliage and so it's also horribly unfair. Second, the friendly AI is indescribably infuriating. Between moving slowly, having moronic pathfinding problems, and getting stuck on trees, rocks, and each other, you'll wonder why they're along at all. The answer is, of course, that until they draw enemy fire, you'll have no idea where the enemy even is. I do have to applaud the game's sound, however. Voiceovers from teammates and even your drill sergeant in the tutorial mode sound a lot like dialog from Vietnam movies, and 60's music on the radios and in game menus really helps to set the mood. As enjoyable as the core thematic elements in Vietcong are, the critical concept execution simply isn't there. An interesting and untapped premise can't save the game from frustrating gameplay. -- Jon "Safety Monkey" Grover Pros: Vietnamese war is an interesting and untapped game premise Voiceovers do an excellent job of mood-setting Cons: Friendly AI is incredibly frustrating Foliage and level layout make it too hard to see enemies
