Vietcong 2

Moby ID: 21527

Windows version

Tired sequel

The Good
The fact that you were allowed to play the game as an ordinary vietcong villager was a novel change. Most of the graphics and sound is top rate. although lacking any kind of atmosphere.

The Bad
All the good aspects of the original game were thrown away, such as the feeling of empathy toward your characters development. The storyline is complete and utter tosh and could easily have been written by a 12 year old kid. There was no reason to look after your team as they just miraculously regenerate 30 seconds after being gunned down.

The american mission is very short and rather easily completed, and just when you think you have a similar sized vietcong mission you realise it is only a quarter of the length and very dissapointing.

The Bottom Line
More like an expansion pack than a sequel, bland storyline and attention to the wrong details.
