If you are a nostalgic veteran gracing our world here in the US, I want to thank you for your dear service to this great country. Play wisely if you play this game at all. It gets some merit for being a bit to realistic. Um, except for the zombies that is.
Dispite the minor clipping issues, overall the gameplay is quite smooth both on the 360 and the PS3. THe PC version has some lag time attributed to HD access depending on the speed of your top of the line gameplay system. You play as a grunt inserted suspiciously into a unit deep in Vietnam, only to discover that you're not only in the s***, you're on the hunt for your brother, who has been infected with some sort of zombifying virus that turns him - and a lot of his fellow GIs - into something out of 28 Days Later. Mist-soaked hills and raw jungle oppression were enough for Vietnam games five years ago, but apparently not now.
Which is a shame, because the Xbox 360 and PS3 would certainly do a good job of rendering Vietnam in smoldering, oppressive detail given half the chance. Whether for budget reasons or not though, Rebellion barely gives them a tenth of a chance. Textures are bland, geometry uncomplicated, lighting sharp and unrealistic; the jungle is jagged, clip-happy and static. Character models on both sides are dull, sparsely detailed and clunkily animated, and the frame-rate lurches into the teens with alarming regularity. Load times are also surprisingly long, although, as you'll see, I'm not going to complain about the time I got to spend not playing it.
