Back when I first started my gaming career, my aunt gave me a game called Vietnam: Black Ops. I popped it in, started to play, and died repeatedly. I spit the cd out and didn't play it again for awhile. Once I learned to play with a keyboard and mouse, I gave it another shot. I sat here for hours on end and killed soldiers left and right. I loved this game so much that years lated I still have it and let it sit next to Crysis, Oblivion, F.E.A.R., Half-Life 2, and Bioshock. At such a bargain price, it's worth the money.

First off, this was originally released as a budget shooter. It's nothing spectacular, but it's a very good simple shooter with plenty of creative level design and a good sense of atmosphere. And the sniping is lots of fun. It's a single-player-only game, but it's one of my favorite budget shooters of all time, in spite of the blasting the professional critics gave it at the time. I've played it through many times over the years whenever I want to escape to another place. Better yet was the sequel "Vietnam 2: Special Assignment" (which contained one of my all-time favorite SP level designs ever in "The Burnt Out City"). Good luck finding either of these games. And I was not able to get either of them running in XP. Both run great on my Win 95/98 machines (Pentium II's) however. I'm using a VooDoo 2 video card under Glide. I can't tell you how it would work with any other old video card using DirectX however. So buy with caution. YMMV and all that.

I did not get to play this game it only runs on windows 98 very disappointed.

I bought this game for $5 at a department store wayyy back in 2000. It is one of the first FPS games where the player can use a knife as a backup. It's actually pretty fun to play....very hard though. I can remember putting countless hours into the computer trying to beat this game...which I finally did. Just like every FPS game, you're basically a dirty, toughened POW trying to fight his way through the jungles of Vietnam on a mission to kill the main Vietnamese general guy.

This one of the funnest first-person-shooter games I have ever played. Once you get into the game it's like a movie you can control. Action, gun fire, tunnels and more.....
It's a fair priced game with lots of action and good graphics.

i'm sure this game is awesome i gave the game to my cousin and he loves it. when i ordered this game i thought it was for my psp2 it was was for
my computer i wasnt sure how to play the game so i gave it to him and he thinks it is a awesome game for his computer. so i will give it 4 stars overall.

The game missions was all awesome and great according to my nephews and grandson, they had all accomplished the very hard game missions about 2 weeks LoL and they love it.
