Is this Game Good or Bad?

[Mack the Knife]

seems there's a wide range of reactions to this game. some guys like it, some hate it. since there is no demo and watching videos isn't the same as playing, maybe people could comment here whether pro or con (and a short reason why) so people teetering on buying the game could come just here to read all the yays and nays.

so, is this game good or bad?

Here are a few pros and cons. There is some overlap.

Pros:

• lot's of stealth missions
• nice looking graphics (for being a DirectX 9 game)
• it's a game about Vietnam (a unique setting)
• the multiplayer, although limited, is fun

Cons:

• lot's of stealth mission
• only 10 missions in the standard game
• only 3 non-coop maps
• GEM editor not included
• at times buggy
• costs $35
• no mod tab

I posted a short review on steam, it maybe able to help you decide,

Anyone that follow the series from the time of (Soldiers: Heroes of World War II) would enjoy the Men of War Vietnam campaign. As this take you back to the old game play that many of us who was unhappy with assault squad due to the lack of a real campaign from past installment would enjoy this one,

I would like to inform the newcomer that come from assault squad not to buy this unless you have enjoy previous installment of this series before assault squad ever existed,

This is the series that many of you may have not known,

Soldiers: Heroes of WWII (2004)
Silent Heroes (2006)
Faces of War (2006)
Men of War (2009)
Men of War: Red Tide (2009)
Men of War: Assault Squad (2011)
Men of War: Vietnam (2011)

Upcoming
Men of War: Condemned Heroes (unknown)
Men of War: Tskhinvali Is On Fire (unknown)

If you have never played any of them, try the demo that are available.

I recommend buying Men of War (2009) as this one have everything from the past and present installment of this series.

I also would like to say that the price it a bit high on steam, i would wait until the price go down to a reasonable price, due to the lack said by spray_n_pray, but a side that it a very good game if you like the campaign from past installment.

if cost is an issue, both GetGames and GreenManGaming are running promos on the game. the downside is that they aren't currently activatable on Steam, but the option is upcoming.

I don't think the standard edition is worth $35.
