GamesFirst! (21st of November 2005)
Score: 3 out of 5
"...The graphics are fairly impressive, especially the environments. Rather than put gamers in the middle of Vietnam's lush jungles, Vietcong 2 follows the events of urban combat in a city in South Vietnam called Hue. The buildings look realistic, and the graphics engine shows the ravages of war and how rundown the city has become since it started. It almost looks like something the Source engine (Half Life 2's graphic engine) put together..."

"...The new rendering engine allowed us to use specular maps as well as normal maps on the characters. Using specular maps means that some parts of the models can reflect light - for example, glasses, or a metal helmet. Using normal maps means that even a low poly surface appears to be more detailed..."
