This is a perfectly respectable first-person shooter with as much or more character development as the protagonist enjoys in Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (accomplished primarily through letters to and from home). I would say that the graphics weren't as good as Vietcong: Purple Haze because Men of Valor relies too heavily on clearings . . . rather than cutting your way through dense jungle, much of the progress on foot occurs in what amounts to a road through the jungle. This is not realistic. Similarly, Men of Valor doesn't enjoy as many jungle sounds as I remember in something like Vietcong.

Something that disappointed me was the relative lack of time spent in helicopters. The second time in a helicopter is cut VERY short by the helicopter's crash . . . I think they could have done better utilizing the military equipment of the era.

Finally, I agree with a reviewer of the PC version of Men of Valor that the in-game profanity was in poor taste and seemed almost like a last-minute addition placed out of context. I understand that profanity happens (a lot) in certain quarters of the military, but I wish that this competition to outdo each other in dirty language had not happened among the developers of the new Vietnam shooters (Vietcong: Purple Haze and Conflict: Vietnam, to name two others. I can only imagine what ShellShock: Nam '67 was like, but I refused to buy it).

Because of graphics, lack of use of more military equipment, and gratuitous bad language, I give Men of Valor 4 instead of 5 stars.

My Sister & I have rented this game several times (ALOT). I finally purchased an XBox & bought the game. It is challenging and we have a blast playing co-op. It took us a long time, but we finished it (after several rentals, of course) and now we are playing it again. I wish they would have more co-op games where we didn't have to go on line. This is definately a "Must Buy" game!
