Battlefield Vietnam (PC)

I downloaded the demo of this game because i've always been a fan of war games, especially in forresty environments. I played it for a while and instantly went off and bought the full game! The single player mode in this game is definitely worth playing. It isn't as easy as most games and requires skill and tactical play to beat the opposition. What i love about the game is that you get to select your class, engineer, bomber, sniper and so on. You can also ride jeeps and fly planes. As for the graphics, they are good for the time and i think the game would still be enjoyable on the newer PCs. It can be played for hours without getting bored as it requires skill.

The control system is fairly simple, and once you become accustomed to it, you will be able to travel through the jungle with ease - however the controls for the ...  Read the complete review

Battlefield Vietnam was a bit more thrown together then Battlefield 1942. It was the next step in trying to cash in on the new Vietnam game craze that followed the wake of the WWII craze. The game features some graphical improvements over the original and really helps in terms of foliage and cover. In fact sometimes this can be more of a pain if you're the poor noob who is brought down by hidden fire. The real star of this game is the new helicopters. The US gets your iconic huey's as both troop transports and gunship versions. Also the Chinook twin bladed transport chopper is there and works as a spawn point as well. The game features many cool ...  Read the complete review
