  1. Though the Vietcong engine is beginning to show its age, it can more than hold its own with the other realistic wartime shooters it currently shares rack space with.
  2. Offers more of the intense and suspenseful single-player and multiplayer action that made Vietcong the respectable game that it is.
  3. I was not, I recall, overly enamored of the first game, and while inevitable, I don’t see that the sequel adds anything that anyone was clambering for.
  4. Shows signs of brilliance, but STILL lacks that finishing touch that would make it very good or excellent even...I felt like I wanted to play on, but only barely after I've ran into some serious frame rate issues and AI glitches.

    Very nice tweaked add-on to Vietcong. Call me a purist or what have you, but I could have done without the consistent cursing throughout the gameplay, though I assume this all the more adds to the 'realism' of the Vietnam War setting. The environments seemed very much more real than the orig. game. Expand

    I thought Fist Alpha was too short and the developers could have added a few more missions than that.
