    Vietcong is ugly as hell, but it's challenging and very unique.

    Vietcong makes a pretty bad first impression on you. It's an ugly game, and it's quite hard to get used to its peculiar style of gameplay. Vietcong isn't a stealth game. It's not a pure action game either. The squad-... Read Full Review

    A faint glimmer of some good qualities, but overall a big dissapointment.

    This game could of benefitted from a bit more polish, because as it stants it is very dissappointing. The action just isn't that good. The sequences of firefights are not long enough and there are too many interruption... Read Full Review

    Vietcong is the best FPS Nam game ever created. It has a long and realistic single player and has a nice comunity for MP

    A great game. If you like war themed FPS games then this is one you shouldn't miss. Missions are fun, varied and you...

    ...go up against some great AI. You get the fight in the jungle, why wouldn't you pick this one up? The graphics are a bit outdated by todays standards, you don't even notice once your into the game. Your too busy try... Read Full Review

    Occasionally phenomenal but badly paced. Some innovations point way for development of future FPSs.

    Vietcong effectively combines the elements of realistic military combat with those of fun fast-paced action, and by doing so pointing out a possible evolution path for shooters which gameplay-innovation-wise have reached... Read Full Review

    Funny - I'd forgotten how this game provides some of the most immersive first person action I've ever come across with some of the most annoying aspects of 3rd person shooter game design and programming. Overall well wor... Read Full Review

    Total Absorbing Fun, Flawless! A+++++

    A totally absorbing game from beginning to glorious end! VC has probably the best enemy, and friendly AI I have seen in a FPS. VC pop out of brush, fire, then move to new cover with believable realism. Great game interfa... Read Full Review

    I had been looking at purchasing this game for a while, but put it off because it does have a cheesy name, and I figured that it was of the same caliber of that "other" Vietnam simulator. I found it at a reduced price o... Read Full Review
