(And that’s not even counting multiplayer games.) As Dean Shepard, a young black Gl fresh out of boot camp, you throw a soccer gaily together with your group mates Greaser, Hoss and Smooth, little knowing that in 13 bullet-riddled missions you’ll have been ambushed, shot, blown up and killed more times than you can recall. The situation in Vietnam seems comprised, and American troops in Da Nang understand that they’re there mostly as a deterrent. Even the script and narrative are of a high quality, even if a little laboured, as you follow the development of the war from a little show of US arrogance into some fullblown jungle apocalypse.

However, as far as we’d love to punish the sport for not fulfilling its true potential, there’s no denying its wily charms.

Clearly, there were some last-minute deadline problems leading up to the launch of Men Of Valor, and it shows.

You know something is wrong when a game hits the shelves just in time for Christmas and it’s been patched twice. Systems: Windows 9x, Windows 2000 Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10.
