Elite Warriors: Vietnam has some aspects that are well done – like the radial menu for the squad commands – but fails in terms of realistically providing AI that reacts to the evolving game conditions. This could have been a good game, but lack of a cohesive story (it just felt like mission upon mission upon mission with nothing to pull it all together) and some problems with the gameplay and AI pull it down.

PC Action
Noch nie stellte ein Spiel die Niederlage der US-Truppen in Vietnam verständlicher dar. Auf einer taktischen Karte scheuchen Sie vier Soldaten mehrere Tage durch den Busch. Bei Feindkontakt oder an wichtigen Zielen steigen Sie ins Kampfgeschehen ein und kommandieren nun aus der Ego- oder Beobachter-Perspektive.

Good night, Vietnam: Als Spezialist für Geheimaufträge begeben wir uns in den dichten Dschungel, sehen den Wald vor lauter grünen Bäumen nicht mehr und suchen vergeblich nach Story, KI und anspruchsvollen Taktiken.

If you are looking for a great military game set during the Vietnam War then I can rattle off a list of about four great games and three good games. Unfortunately, Elite Warriors: Vietnam will not appear on any list other than war games to avoid.

Die »Studies and Operations-Group« schleicht
sich in Elite Warriors Vietnam im
Team durch grüne Pampe, die
Urwald sein soll, aber nur die
Sicht versperrt. Gelegentlich
gibt es Feindkontakt, Sie sehen
aber in den seltensten Fällen die
grünen Vietcong vor dem grünen
Hintergrund. Die übertriebene
Kollisionsabfrage ruiniert
die Steuerung des Helden.

With insects buzzing, birds singing and tribal drums beating the soundtrack reminds me more of Africa than Vietnam. The radio chatter helps keep it real and reminds you that you're in a war and not on a safari. The guns sounds are good though they sound a little subdued. The voiceacting is too serious and monotone. Like a bad religious service. Graphically it's pretty decent but there are a lot of areas that you can't interact with thanks to invisible walls that force you to stay on your chosen path. EWV is not half bad but guess what the other half is? Not good!

Developer nFusion has carved something of a niche for itself by creating budget-priced tactical shooters. It has bucked the budget-ware trend for cheap but lousy games, and the results have been pretty good--at least until Elite Warriors: Vietnam, a sorta-kinda sequel to 2003's Line of Sight: Vietnam. Elite Warriors introduces some unusual gameplay elements that end up being completely superfluous while drastically reducing the scope and variety of the core shooting action. The game also reintroduces a few problems that nFusion seemed to have licked last time around. The result is neither especially tactical nor satisfyingly action-packed.

Jeu de shoot tactique, Elite Warriors Vietnam oublie trop vite les bases du genre pour se concentrer sur des aspects qui s'avèrent finalement superflus. Les gros problèmes d'I.A. enterrent les quelques bonnes idées du titre et le joueur court le risque de s'ennuyer ferme.

Mag ja sein, dass die SOG-Spezialisten die Besten in Ihrem Gebiet waren, in diesem Spiel sind sie es mit Sicherheit nicht. Wer sich mit geschlossenen Augen durch die Briefings klickt und einfach drauf los ballert kommt genauso weit wie der Taktik-Fetischist. Nur für Letzteren, der auch noch einen starken drang verspüren zum 100. Mal durch den Dschungel Vietnams zu robben, ist dieses Game geeignet. Jeder gesunde Shooter-Fan sollte sich schleunigst eine der vorhandenen Alternativen suchen.

EWV is supposed to be about the elite of elites. Unfortunately, if this game is any indication, the SOG soldiers were blind and deaf, and had the tactical sense of lemmings.
