As the whole Men of War series, MoW: Vietnam is a perfect tactical RTS, maybe the best created ever. Comparing to Faces of War or first Men ot War we get improved graphics, some new sounds, and of course new environment, according to the time the Vietnam war took place. New weapons, a lot of jungle locations, new music - for MoW fans it's just exactly what they need. Personally I love this series, and I can not say anything against. I'm just waiting for some upgrade or DLC which can give us more modes to play in Multiplayer, such as Frontlines, Assault Zones etc. But anyway, my final opinion is: PERFECT!

A very good game overall. I agree that this game will appeal more to a niche audience. Vietnam era games/sims are few and far between. MoW Vietnam is the best I've played to date. I love the jungle canopy where it is difficult to see and do anything you want. That's how it is in that environment. Quite a challenge. The smaller unit actions and tactics are what win the day here. No grand battles like Kursk or El Alemain. Vietnam was a war fought by politicians where the generals often had one or sometimes both hands tied behind their backs.
Good amount of equipment to be used here. Nice to play as NVA to get a taste of their perspective of things too.
The game is challenging. Overall I like it very much. Good job 1C!

5 Punkte weill es ein Men of War Spiel ist, aber ich hätte mehr erwartet, leider bietet das Spiel, Inhaltlich nicht sehr viel, und der Multieplayer ist auch sehr mager.
Da Spiel ich doch lieber AS.

You need to run away from this as fast as possible !!! Even MoW 1.0 is 100 times better than this. The AI is broken, you units are blind and sometimes don't see the enemy even 1 m in front of them. The missions are horrible. The entire game is just a pack of like 10 missions, all of them horrible from start to finish. You are always rushed by timers, you almost never control armor, never choppers, why are they even in the game? It's so boring and frustrating, i just rushed them all. Very very very bad game. My "german power" maps for MoW1 where 100 times better than this and more popular because i gave people FREEDOM to do anything on the map with full rouster of units ! In this game you don't even have reinforcements !!!!!

I am not normally the one to gripe about things, heck I got the game on holiday sale so I payed only a portion of the face value. However within my first few minutes of play I was utterly turned off. Today, I decided I would give it another shot. I do feel the game "could" be good. But it is utterly crippled by a very poor control scheme. I mean, you can't control the camera with the keyboard at all? Say whaaaat? As others mentioned yeah it's hard to see your squads, but that is entirely caused by the horrid camera controls. The game has it's charm with the ability to control individual men, almost in a detached 3rd person sort of way. --Again however, the camera does not follow the movements of the soldier, although you can control his direct movements with the arrow keys. Selecting movement modes for your character are worthless unless in prone, as if you have him crouched and attempt to move he just stands up and runs, so there is no stealth movement besides prone. Grenades are not very intuitive and sometimes it takes several clicks through the interface to make anything happen at all, meanwhile your soldier got blasted. Overall -- This game got a 68, and it deserves a 68 or lower. Do not buy this at full value, wait for it in the bargain bin if you must buy it. I very solid, and better alternative would be Company of heroes. It's missing some of the up close and personal single unit controls like MoW:V, but it out shines it in every aspect including graphics.
