  • Summary: On a routine run over the Vietnam war-zone your chopper is taken down in VC territory. It’s up to you and your squad to make it out of the VC infested region while liberating civilians. You’re in total command as you make your way through war-torn Vietnam and eliminate the VC insurgence.Com.Command your squad of up to four soldiers at once. Use the Touch Screen to issue commands, view the map, access inventory and select which squad member to control. 20 different jungle missions include rescuing POWs, saving civilians, hunting down VC, and more. Utilize your squad to combat multiple enemy types including: soldiers, tanks, turrets, enemy barracks, etc. Take advantage of different specialties and weapons per solider: long range shot, grenade launcher, automatic weapons, etc. Beware land mines and other traps throughout war-torn Vietnam. Flush out enemies with smoke grenades or take out a swarm of VC with fragmentation grenades. Destructible environments filled with barrels, crates and animals add to the war experience.

    This is a rare case in which a budget minded title is actually of more merit than many full priced titles currently on the market.

    For a budget title, Operation: Vietnam is a pleasant surprise.

    A slightly slow, single-player only arcade shooter. It has ten levels (plus ten bonus missions), above average graphics for a DS game, and a decent auto-aim that can't quite compensate for the fact that you can't strafe, and thus spend a lot of time running directly into enemy fire.

    Maps are too long and slow-paced when they should be frenetic and bite-sized.

    This is great fun - takes a while to get going (1st level is a bit slow) but then the action really kicks off. Brings back happy memories of Cannon fodder and the like.… Expand

    I got this game after playing Killzone. I was looking for another isometric 3d shooter and this game is FUN. Its not historically accurate, its a shooter and the missions are challenging. This game won't disappoint given its price of only $20.00. Awesome. Its a keeper.… Expand
