No wonder we lost so many soldiers, they were probably so bored they lost touch with reality.

But seriously, respect the soldiers who fought in this war only to be re created in a horrible environment. God this game was ****. The guns were insane. The M-16 was a god in this game and most other guns sucked. Grenades only killed one person most of the time. The soldiers took 5 rounds of M-16 fire to the chest before falling to the ground, and living!!! The level design is horrible. Its hard to get through and there is a horrible camera angle. The graphics are constantly fuzzy to a point where its too realistic. There are dozens, maybe hundreds of small bumps, and hills etc in the terrain you cant climb onto or over. The night levels suck. The stealth is pathetic and the screen looks like a movie from the 50s. If I were to have sat down, and wrote a list of characters I thought would be in the game, I would have guessed 75%+ of them. The same characters you see in every movie about war in general and especially Vietnam movies. This game is like writing something on a chalkboard 1000 times with a piece of chalk thats less than an inch long. It was frustrating (even on easy!!!) *Spoilers* There is one level where you take control of a fortress and defend from literally 500 and counting guys. You have like 12 guys. uuuuummmmmmmm................. I know Vietnam's odds for us were bad, but I doubt that EVER happened. Maybe once or twice but Im guessing no. *End Spoilers* The whole hooker situation is just.........................for horny little boys. Base camp is almost as boring as the Beach in Vice City. BOTTOM LINE: This game seems as if this happened: -Someone payed the creators of SOCOM. -They gave them a horrible story. -They got them drunk and gave them flu injections. -They were forced to make a game in under 6 months. The only people who should place this are lovers of excessive violence (I do but still, no!) People who love Nam related things People who love war realted things And people who dont mind repetitive gameplay and annoying characters The only cool thing were the effects of getting shot(and and the enemy). I would say its easy, but annoying and drawn out. Theres not much to learn except how to get poon in base camp. I spent 5 + hours playing. (wasted life- Sorry God ha ha ha) Because of this game, I will not play any other Vietnam games for a while. It ruined the genre for me for now. The ai looked like that of the characters in a multiplayer goldeneye game. I give it: 4/10
