Video Game Reviews of Conflict: Vietnam
Customer Review: LOOOVED IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is a very accurate depiction of 'Nam in '68 (although I've never participated in the war, let alone born around the time. Let me rephrase it to "very believable").
You control 4 soldiers: the team leader (Staff Sgt. Frank Wier), a sniper (Corporal Bruce Lesh), a heavy machine gunner (Corporal Will Shafer) and "the new guy"/medic (Pvt. Harold Kahler, also the main character in the story). Throughout the game, you will gain deep feelings for these 4 characters.
Game features:
Graphics: Not as bad as the press would have you believe. Character models are done well (the faces need a little polishing up, though) and the jungle environments are spooky (in a way that actually make you feel you are actually there). 8.9/10
Controls: A little bit out of the ordinary. But, there is a key remapping option. I can understand the frustration of getting used to the defaults, but that's why I encourage you to play the demo about 10 times before you buy it. 7.3/10
Sound/Music: Great music score, the weapon sounds are decent but some of them seem a bit underpowered in the sound department. Some famous rock songs featured in that time period, but I would like to have more. The best part is the voice acting that matches the characters very well. 9.2/10
Story: Very well written! The story haunts in my sleep! The cutscenes in the game really move the story along and is a very welcoming sight. 9.8/10
Presentation: Well crafted and polished 9.5/10
AI: I've seen better, they're all a bit dumb but great shots! 6.8/10
Difficulty: Sometimes frustrating (even on "Easy" mode). The "two save for each mission" save system is a pain! The levels don't always go from easy to hard and level lengths vary. 6.5/10
Overall gameplay: It won't let you go until the last bullet is fired! 9.5/10
Atmosphere: The best in any war shooter! 10/10
Lasting appeal: It was great while it lasted for the 1st time playing it, but I'm just glad to be out of Vietcong territory (in other words: this game will more thn likely be catching dust on my shelf). 4.7/10
Conflict: Vietnam is possibly the best Vietnam war shooter out there! Do I recommend it to everyone. No, only those of you who are really looking for a good war game and those of you that are crack shots with the mouse! It is a solid, above-average game that will haunt you until you beat it!
This game isn't about a bunch of special ops war aces who can run through an enemy compound and kill everyone in sight and come out unharmed (a.k.a. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the WORST war shooter ever invented). No, it's about 4 soldiers with little to no actual war experience who just want to see another light of day and to escape the lush but deadly jungles of Vietnam. The game gives you a sentimental feel for the 4 heroes as well as a heavy pride in your country (if you're living in the U.S.A.)
You can get this game for a bargain price (I got mine right off of here for 7.99 + S&H). To me, it was worth every penny of the price!
Game total score: 9.1/10
