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.
There's really no way of getting around it. Vietcong and the expansion offer a type of gameplay in a shooter that you can't really find in any other setting.
Offers more of the intense and suspenseful single-player and multiplayer action that made Vietcong the respectable game that it is.
Tweaks to the multiplayer modes are welcome, but are hardly enough to turn it into a world-beater. A bigger cause for celebration is that I didn't come across any of those diabolically awful tunnels that plagued the full game.
Its weak campaign notwithstanding, Pterodon has the right idea when it comes to winning hearts and minds. [May 2004, p.59]
If you were hoping it would upgrade the action quota... or if you expected an improvement in AI and collision detection, then stay away.
Vietcong and its expansion pack ultimately succeed in providing an approximation of the horrors of jungle warfare. The shit-scared feeling of imminent death is translated as well as anyone has managed to date, although perhaps for many FPS fans this might not equate to a fun gaming experience.
