Advantages: great mulitplayer option.

Disadvantages: Poor graphics for today.

I bought this game several years ago and have been playing it on and off ever since. Vietcong is perhaps the best Vietnam-based FPS I have ever played, and will ever play. Despite there being a sequal, Vietcong 2, I still feel this game offers much more enjoyment.

<--TheCampaign-->
Campaign mode is both tense and exhilerating. The game offers 28 missions with more than 30 deadly weapons to become an expert in using. It takes you through dense rainforest and beautiful mountainous regions which can all be played in the multiplayer mode. From the beginning training missions to the high-action fighting mission, I found this game rediculously hard to conquer. But still extremely fun along the way. This isn't a campaign mode you will complete over-night.

<--TheMultiplayer-->
Multiplayer is better than campaign mode in this game, in my opinion. When you access the online mode there are still many players online despite this game being nearly 6-years old. The levels you get to play are great fun, even though many have been created by third-party developers using the map-making mod. Lord of the Rings maps have been made, including Helms deep and Osciliath City - which work wonders. You are able to pcik you side and weapon-class before entering a game, and each class offers a fun alternative to the others.

<--Conclusion-->
A good FPS despite its age. The graphics are ut-dated but this doesn't matter. There good enough for you to hide in the undergrowth and go about undetected!

Summary: A great FPS, worth a buy, still.
