    The A.I. of your teammates is simply horrendous. [Dec 2004, p.95]

    The bugs in the gameplay make it difficult to recommend and the graphics make it unpleasant to watch.

    The fact of the matter is that for the majority of Vietcong: Purple Haze, I was just plain bored. "Shellshock" at least provided a hint of tension and atmosphere during the first few missions to make you want to play on. Purple Haze doesn't. Enough said.

    The biggest issue with Purple Haze for Xbox is that the game simply isn't complete. Why the truncated campaign? Why the revamped levels?

    The review at IGN was changed days after people started talking about how the review said it was a third person game. It ORIGINALLY said it The review at IGN was changed days after people started talking about how the review said it was a third person game. It ORIGINALLY said it was third person. Someone was told to change their review before the website was starting to be looked down upon, like some other websites. This game is good though. Could have used more enemies, but is still better than Shellshock.… Full Review »
