The verdict
A gritty, atmospheric Vietnam shooter with great gunplay and sound, but it's aging and abandoned, with few players, cheaters and unseen-sniper deaths. Skip at full price.
Great for
Vietnam War fans who want semi-realistic, lethal multiplayer with helicopters and buy on sale
Main risk
Few populated servers, cheaters and sweaty snipers leave newcomers dying unseen or unable to find a match
