Vietcong 2 (PC)

By (cnet.com)

Given the dubious results of the Vietnam War, it was a bit surprising when publishers, after having exhausted World War II for stories, started to turn out Vietnam War games a few years ago. This resulted in a wave of Vietnam games, with the majority...

A few did make distinct impressions, including Vietcong, an immersive first-person shooter developed by Pterodon, a Czech Republic studio (of all places). Well, it's time to get back to the jungle with Vietcong 2, the follow-up to 2003's original,...

Vietcong: Purple Haze (PlayStation 2)

By (cnet.com)

Thoroughly retooled by a new developer, Purple Haze generally makes a mess of what used to be a good game.

Vietcong: Purple Haze Review

By Adam Gainer (gameplasma.com)

VC:PH overall is an okay game. It's not a must own by any means. It might be worth a rental for you serious Vietnam war gamers. However with other Vietnam game's coming out soon this one is a little out of date.

Vietcong: Purple Haze

By RewiredMind (rewiredmind.com)

You wait years for a game based on the controversial Vietnam War to be released, and then three come along at once. Eidos didn't really break into a sweat with Shellshock: Nam ‘67 and SCI failed to impress with the surprisingly below-par...

First off is the embarrassingly bad AI of your squad members. Once you’ve gone through the long and drawn out process of sending a command to them, they will carry it out obediently for about ten seconds, before returning to their regular...

So what of Coyote's bizarrely named Vietcong: Purple Haze‘
