Men of Valor

Play as Dean Shepard, a newly arrived Marine, and follow his platoon through the Vietnam War. The campaign spans four operations, including Da Nang, the Iron Triangle, Khe Sanh and the Tet Offensive.

Fight the NVA and Viet Cong across jungle, tunnels and cities in missions with varied objectives. You may face ambushes, clear positions, take part in helicopter combat or push through urban firefights.

Use cover, crouch or go prone, and lean while aiming. Wounds can cause bleeding, so use bandages and medical supplies, which can also be found by searching fallen enemies. The campaign features changing weapons, letters home and documentary-style material; the game also lists online multiplayer for up to 24 players.

Players who enjoy Men of Valor often point to its Vietnam setting, varied missions and historical battle locations, as well as the letters that add a personal thread between missions. Some appreciate its old-school shooter feel, music and environmental presentation. Reviews are divided, with many describing the difficulty, enemy spawns and checkpoint system as frustrating; reports of technical problems also vary.
