...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 The graphics are a bit outdated by todays standards, you don't even notice once your into the game.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 trying to spot enemies and not get shot. Im having a great time with this game. Single player has a great campaign, you can also go back and play single missions and there is another feature where you can have a quick fight. You choose what team you want to be, how many team members you want with you, what weapons you use, which map and how many enemies there are then you play. You unlock new maps and weapons for this mode by playing through the campaign. You can swap weapons with enemies, you search their bodies for intelligence, weapons and ammo. You need to look out for booby traps, such as punji pits and trip wires. Between missions your in your bunker. Here you can read your "diary", check mission briefings and numerous other things. You even have a radio which plays music from the 60's. The AI is very good at times. Throwing grenades and the perfect moments. Your squad mates are pretty good, but the enemy VC AI is where it's at. Trying to flank enemies, and not be flanked. Do you hide behind the fallen tree? Do you lie belly down in the mud in the bush hoping you wont get spotting. Then when it's clear you get up to move only to step into a trap.. The enemy "bug out" (retreat) when they think they can't win. And they fall back to better positions. Finally a great war FPS without scripted AI! Definatly a game you should get if your looking for a fun single player experience, with good multiplayer and you want a challenge while your at it. The graphics are outdated, but when your into the game they really don't seem that bad at all.
