 Review - Conflict: Vietnam // Xbox /// Eurogamer
Both Conflict games of the past two years showed huge promise, sporting the kind of slick, instantly intuitive control system that is so good it should be patented and become the standard in all squad-based games.
Conflict: Vietnam, in common with its predecessors, follows the fortunes of a four-man squad, with the player able to switch between the uniquely capable soldiers as they see fit (Hidden and Dangerous-style, as opposed to the one man and his AI helpers in Rainbow Six).
Ultimately Conflict: Vietnam is by no means as bad as some people are making out, but nor is it delivering on the promise of the previous games either.
