Advantages: Keeps the battlefield series going . New ideas Disadvantages: More of the same, Graphics ok
----------------------------------
When battlefield 1942 came out the world bowed at its feet. It had the right balance between realism and enjoyment. Then when the game and all its expansions were about to be extinguished EA and DICE made a frantic push to maintain customers with battlefield Vietnam.
----------------------------------
What is the game?
Before I ramble on I think i ought to explain what the game is for people with no battlefield ... ...game is strikingly similar to battlefield 1942 so it begs the question, is it worth it?
----------------------------------
Graphics
The graphics on this game are average. With slightly improved graphics over battlefield 1942 you aren't gaining a great amount of technology and some will even argue that the graphics are worse. Higher spec machines will run this game nicely but on my 1 and a half year old machine it was awful. The vehicles look average ...

Advantages: Excellent multiplayer mode Disadvantages: No mission mode
The Battlefield series has certainly been a pioneer in this field, and anyone who's a fan of it, especially the newer Modern Combat game, should definitely check this game out, even if it's just out of curiousity and appreciation for the franchise.
Although not everyone's cup of tea, Vietnam war-based shooters are arguably an under-developed market, especically in comparison with World War II shooters. In my opinion, having played on numerous 'Nam ... ...enjoy this game, and any Battlefield fan will probably love it. This game can provide hours upon hours of great entertainment, and is also a fairly realistic reflection on the Vietnam War. This game will never be dated, not only because of its high quality gameplay, but also, importantly, because of its historical context. ...

Advantages: Another fun game that can hold up to 64 players online Disadvantages: It is exactly a duplicate of the original battlefield game
This game is a stand alone version of Battlefield: 1942 so it doesn't require that you have the original version to play it.
I particularly didn't like this product that much as it is COMPLETELY the same as the original game 'Battlefield: 1942' the only difference is different location, time, weapons, but overall its the exact same game with replaced looks so instead of Germans you have Vietnamese soldiers.
The only thing that does make this game ... ...atleast up to 64, and the ability to ride any form of vehicles from gunships, u-boats, jeeps, tanks, airplanes, bombers, jets, APC's.
Even playing online gets abit boring, which causes a lack of enjoyment in online experience, and that you find alot of people playing online will not do objectives but merely hop into the vehicles and ride off as if it was a rally.
If you already own battlefield:1942 I would recommend that you do not purchase this ...

Advantages: Easy player control system; Online multiplayer (64 palyers); Many servers to play on. Disadvantages: Occasional server lag; Difficult to control Planes / helicopters
...is very similar to the Battlefield 1942 game, and yes it is- in terms of its gameplay and style. However, on the other hand it is set during the Vietnam war so the weapons, vehicles, music, characters are all different - provinding a different experience I rate this game at a solid 4/5 - and at £16.49 delivered from www.game.co.uk, it is a real bargain - I guarantee you that you will get many hours / months of enjoyment from the game ...
