"While the gaming industry has done World War II a million times over, the latest war-du-jour these days is the more morally ambiguous Conflict in Vietnam. Chances are nobody will be able to capture it with quite the panache of Dice and Electronic Arts, the duo that put together our 2002 mutliplayer game of the year, Battlefield 1942. Battlefield Vietnam has all the flavor of the era, most of the hardware involved, and some of the best multiplayer gameplay you'll find in a war-themed first-person shooter.
Don't expect realism here. As with 1942, Vietnam focuses on gameplay. You'll drive tanks and jeeps and APCs, patrol rivers in gunboats, soar through the skies in jets and hover over enemy territory in choppers. It has the flavor of real combined arms tactics but the fast pace of an arcade game."
