Recognizing This is a Fun Game, I Accept the Flaws
OK. Although this game is not as good as Metal Gear Solid, or as realistic as Rainbow Six(PC version), it still packs some bang for the buck. The graphics are not the worst(that honor goes to Dark Forces). The sound is OK, but nothing to write mom about. The control is tricky at first, but when mastered, you'll be shootin' and movin' like a pro. Now my gripes. Even though you have a great selection when it comes to guns and gear, all of the weapons perform pretty much the same. Believe me, a .50 Barrett sniper rifle has more range and knockdown power than a scoped M4 carbine! In the Vietnam level, you can choose the same weapons and equipment that you can in "modern day" levels. I'm POSITIVE we did not have AN-PVS5 night vision goggles and HK MP5SD sub-guns in Vietnam. And lastly, difficulty. This is a HARD game. So much so, it is impossible to tell a difference between the three levels of challenge. But all-in-all, the ability to command two Army Rangers in hit and run raids using light infantry/special operations tactics is this game's strongest point. So, if you want a fun and challenging game, and don't want to blow alot of money, check this one out.

Don't bother
Do not waste your money or your time. Thought to myself it wasonly ..., even if it ... I still wouldn't be out that much. Well I got the game, threw it in the P/S, watched the cheesy intro(with the most horrible sounding vocals I have ever heard, kinda like talking into a coke can), started up the 1 player mode and started picking my rangers. Ok, at this point, not what I expected, but for ..., didn't expect much. So I pick my first ranger, go to the inventory, and start picking my weapons. First point: If you know anything about military weaponry, you'll know that most of the guns have only a slight resemblence to the real thing(yes I understand that it's a video game, but if the packaging claims to be so realistic, then that's what I expect) So at this point I'm slightly disappointed, but with the hope that it'll get better. Pick my second ranger, start the mission, and that's when I realize only ... or not, this is a game that should've stayed in the designers imaginations. But figuring since I've made it this far, might as well press on. So I get going, only to realize the mission objective is more vague than anyone could imagine and the graphics are a reminder of my original nintendo days. But I finally figure out the point, only to realize it's not difficult, but just annoyingly confusing. Not like a puzzle that I just can't figure out and get mad, more like I just don't want to waste my time. If you want a military game, buy rainbow six. Well to the point, don't let the price fool you. Even for that it's a waste of money.
