Customer Reviews

Good Game
Well i got the game today through the post.Well its everything i expected it to be.Graphics are good.Weapons are good.Weapons you start off with are M1 carbine,M14,M3 grease gun,Colt 45,38 revolver,the rest of the weapons you have to earn.Firing the weapons is quite good from the hip with a little crosshair or press your right thumb stick and use the weapons iron sights or if its got a scope a scope.Giving orders is easy,even though they don't always carry them out(like real life in a war sitution if you ask me).And you need to try and keep all your team members alive or your be stuck without them.Loose your engineer and your out of ammo(but you can pick up the enemys weapons but can't get ammo for them).Loose your pointman(local vietnamese person) and its all over your lost.Loose your radio man you can't call in airstrikes and call for evac.

All in all i would say this is a good game but not excellent.The reason it isn't excellent is because its graphics are upto a good standard(good) but not breath taking(although the water in the game like water falls,streams, is amazing).

Xbox live is fantastic i've tryed capture the flag(ctf) and death match.I would rate the online play quite highly.

ITs cheap for a reason
This game coudl possibly be one of the worst FPS games i've played ever, the AI is apauling and teh graphics are not up to the standard. If you want a good Squad based FPS buy Brothers in arms leave this one alone

Quality !
If you like RS6 3, then you will love this game. It has very intelligent AI, and some great features. It is also online enabled, and multiplayer in this game is absoultely fantastic. A great FPS, and a must buy for anyone who loves shooting stuff !
