Take 2 Interactive Vietcong
Review & Specification:
Bring powerful jungle combat to life on your PC.
Set during the Vietnam War, "Vietcong" is a first person shooter with tactical elements.
...You forge ahead through the thick, oppressive heat. Your erratic heartbeat and amplified breaths are all that escape the hostile stillness.
Sweat beads down your face as an all too familiar vibration breaks your concentration. You turn to face the threat while the rookie lays down a wild burst of gunfire into the trees up ahead. The jungle explodes into a fiery deathtrap with roars from automatic weapons interrupting the incoherent shouts from your men.
Spin, aim, shoot, duck, dodge, fire. Your actions form a dance as rapid explosions create a giant fireball of destruction. And then, as quickly as the chaos sprang to life, it departs, slipping away into the darkness. A downpour ensues, quelling the raging jungle, setting things right once again. But there's no time to rest. This is a war, and you've got a job to do.

Reviews
"The developers of Vietcong are clearly trying to re-create the intensity and the challenge of fighting your way through some of the most unapproachable terrain of the Vietnam war, thanks to its dense environments and fast pace. But from what we've seen, the game will also be very accessible and easy to jump into for anyone who's ever played a first-person shooter."

"If Pterodon can create the same sense of panic and madness as featured in the likes of Platoon and Apocalypse Now then Vietcong is going to be one to watch out for. The fact also remains that we've never seen a good recreation of the Vietnam War in a videogame "

"Apparently, the game will feature extreme levels of realism, extending to such giddy heights as your character being temporarily deafened by nearby exploding rounds. In these situations, when trying to talk to you, teammates' voices will be muffled and garbled. We love it."
