Like the rest of you I have been caught up in the hype of games like HL2 and Pacific Assault coming soon and seemed to have missed a game called Men of Valour that has been released, after stumbling on it and after playing it for a day believe it is as good if not better than Pacific Assault is going to be.
Set around the time of the Vietnam War, 'Men of Valour' puts the player in the role of a marine. I'm not going to ruin the story line, but the plot is very well thought up, and doesn't fade away.
This game is a shooter and is very similar to games such as MOH, Call of Duty and Vietcong. The 3D sound didn't stop to amaze me as it actually makes you feel you are there, the graphics of the jungle are parraleled to none, as well as all the cities in the game being well crafted and built. The AI has realistic tactics and movement, meaning you’re kept on your toes throughout the game, looking here and there to stop them ambushing you.
One of the things in this game that excites me is the ever so carefully produced cut scenes spread right through the game at every climactic point. These really catch the emotions of the soldier and the detail is phenomenal. A real eye catcher.
The interface is easy to use and even a gaming 'beginner' will find this game easy to play. If you are in to FPS or war/ historic games, then this is defiantly a game for you so go out and grab it.
It weighs in at a hefty 3.6gig installed and for those who a going to grab a preview version ;) it is a huge 2.9gig Download.
Some screenies included below.
