    Why oh why is there NOT a password system?

    Games based on movies are always viewed upon with great skepticism. There've been so many bad examples of movie-to-game titles that a game based on a movie always "suck until proven otherwise". Platoon is a "movie-game" ... Read Full Review

    Though held back with painfully high difficulty, this movie-based title isn't all that bad.

    Many have watched the classic Oliver Stone title based off of Vietnam, Platoon. It was an excellent movie, if not the best Vietnam war movie out today. This game certainly doesn't follow the footsteps of being excellent ... Read Full Review

    What a shame.

    If I could get past the first level of this game, maybe I'd have a little more appreciation for it. But as it stands, I just couldn't get much entertainment out of this game. The object of this game, based on the movie... Read Full Review

    A pioneer in the bad movie tie-in genre.

    "Platoon" is a very good action game in general. Still, it's very frustrating, hard, and tendious.

    By bansheerpg | Review Date: Dec 23, 2006 | NES

    "Platoon" is almost everything a gamer could expect from an old-school action game. Still, it is way too hard, and it tends to get really frustrating and tendious. "Platoon" actually does pretty we... Read Full Review

    Long, tedious, frustrating and even fun.
