This game arrived propmtly and was as described- Thank you and would buy from you again.
That being said, it is a lot easier (for me, anyway) to play Men of Valor with a PS/2 (Not Playstation 2) keyboard and mouse combo, which is where the SmartJoy Frag comes in. At first, I had to put the game on pause so I wouldn't get shot while laughing. This game is hard, but it's worth trudging through. I am not an experienced console gamer, so when I use the SmartJoy Frag for the XBox, I actually forget that I'm playing this game on a console rather than a PC, and I spend my energy taking the enemy down and enjoying the game instead of re-training my brain to use a five year old controller that I have never wanted or needed in the first place.
I don't have good reflexes and being able to properly aim at someone moving and jumping around in a microsecond is near impossible for me. This is annoying, and it can cause a novice player such as myself to become frustrated and give up easily. There are no cheat codes to the XBox version of the game. I have been playing computer games using a keyboard and mouse since 1997 with the release of Quake II, so I'm not at all accustomed to using a controller which is rather foreign to me. But at least you can move your mouse to look around when the in-game video is playing, and it doesn't take away from the gameplay since most of the vids don't really last that long. I will never go back to using a standard console controller (wired of wireless) for an FPS.
This game is tough. In fact, I usually end up with the highest number of deaths before the round is over. The storyline alone is worth it, not to mention the laugh-fest I have when I hear the things the Viet Cong yells out to me and my virtual squadmates. Even on the easy setting. I'm sure that by this time most of the people who have an XBox are quite accustomed to using the XBox controller, even for first person shooter games like Men of Valor, but I am not one of those people, and I would not have been able to get through the first level were it not for the SJF. I have to make sure I drink plenty of water and have enough protein in me before playing this game so I don't get frustrated with myself when I run out of respawns and have to start the level over from the beginning (the maximum number of times you can respawn your character from the most recent saved checkpoint is 12, so don't die too quickly if it can be helped). I am not one of those people online who you can never touch in a DM or any other type of online match.
When you turn your XBox console off after having saved a checkpoint in the game, you will have to restart the entire level all over again. Although there are checkpoints in certain levels of the game, you cannot save your progress. I also like the weapons. Sometimes you have to sit through an in-game video before you can play. Shoot, I have a hard enough time as it is with the VC in this game who stand still and take a few rounds from me. The key word for this game is patience. Just make sure your keyboard and mouse are both PS2, not USB.
I would definately recommend this game to anyone. We are always looking for coop games to play together especially military games. My Sister & I (both females) love this game and have played it several times. We love the different levels, shooting (especially-sniper shooting), sneaking around and general mayhem. It's a must buy.
lol You have absolutely no idea where each other are so it makes it quite fun trying to hide and stalk to find the other and it's really cool when they have no idea you have them in your sights and then "boom".
If you are into war games or shooters, then definitely try this game out.
you got'em.
It's a blast to play.
However, the multiplayer aspect was quite fun for my nephew and i due to the fact that there is no talking.only hunting each other to see who can take who out.
I do not recommend this game to children, though, due to the foul language used quite freqently so far in it.
I am only several missions into the game so far but am having a great time.
I put this game in and started playing it with my nephew and I had to turn it off b/c of the cursing in it.
lol cool.
It is.Its better than Conflict:Vietnam,ShellShock and BATTLEFIELD:VietNam.Its the most fun not to mention the best realism,best graphics and visuals.if you own an XBox this will be the top Vietnam war game.If you own a PS2-probably Conflict,a gamecube-Uhh Conflict.i own all three systems-MOV is best.
