PC  Realistic, but oh so many bugs 3.0

THE GOOD:
Graphics
Gameplay
Sounds - and a very nice introduction music.

THE BAD:
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, buuuuuuuuugs
Very restricted map, no abilty to roam around.

SUMMARY:
This could have been a great game, as the graphics are so realistic and the game concept is so close that you feel like you are there - the Vietnam war must have been a scary place for those poor soldiers. But the bugs in this game ruin the experience. You can unload 4 bullets in a VC at point blank range and he gets up while you reload and caps you. Your pointman needs constant reminder to keep going - does he keep forgetting he is a soldier in the middle of a war? Anoying things like getting stuck mean yoiu have to kill one of your men to try the stage again. And finally the gameplay is restricted by walls and trees, so you cant wander through the jungle. May be a good thing as avoids getting lost, but can be solved by placing some VC deep in the jungle to 'entice' you to move back to the game. Look forward to a bug free Vietcong 2?

THE GOOD:
Excellent facial annimations and great weapon graphics. Also good sound and pretty inticing story. Some of the enviroments can be pretty breath taking aswell for example the opening sceen in the heicopter when you get a great view over the surrounding area.

THE BAD:
A few bugs like stacking and a pee brained pointman! Also the "Jungle" enviroments were very dissapointing as it was bassically a path with a few trees to either side. I was hoping that it would be more open enviroments like the forrests of Operation Flashpoint.

SUMMARY:
A pretty good game, but as I stated early the jungle enviroments are pretty crap(in my opininon) as I was expecting large jungles like the forests of Operation Flashpoint. Ok there is more details wich are pretty cool like logs, swaying bushes etc... but the levels leave no space for exploration. But apart from that the game is good. Excellent weapongs graphics and sounds (I love the carbine!). Overall worth buying if you like warbased fps and if you have alot of patience (because you will be reloading plenty of time thanks to those nasty traps spread around the level )

THE GOOD:
Very nice graphics, the faces looking good, and the landscape is stunning

THE BAD:
Some miner bugs, and one wierd bug, in a battle sometimes the enemy and my teammates collaps(relly they do) and are not taller then my boot, it look's funny.... The most anoying thing in this game is when you stand in fornt of an enemy you can emty your gun in him, without him taking damage, and he do the same to you, but you get hit and has to bite the dust....

SUMMARY:
Do to the bug's it's a game that can give you the feeling of being in the war yourself, there should be severel hours of joyment in this game....... I personal think it's worth taking a look at, though it's a relly hard game, it take's some time to master your weaponskills.....If i had three thumbs i'd give it that, but you have to settle with to thumbs up... :-)

THE GOOD:
The graphics and the face complextions and the lush landscape. Lots of weapons and tools.

THE BAD:
Teammates may go somewere else(ie:The Pointman mostly) You get caught on things and you cant move.

SUMMARY:
I recomend it to anyone who likes to shoot and fight and it is fun.O by the way its kind of hard in a way not for anyone who is a wussie. You also better have a good video card. The multiplayer is ok and there is many types of gameplay like deathmatch and team deathmach. All in all this game is da bomb and is fun, and by the way it has bin awile sice i reviewed it but I still play the game.
