Global Star Software, a publishing label of
Take-Two, announced that Conflict: Vietnam is currently available in retail stores
throughout North America for the PS 2, Xbox and PC. Transporting the Conflict series from
the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of Vietnam, Conflict: Vietnam builds upon the
signature squad based gameplay that has sold over 1.4 million units in North
America.
Conflict: Vietnam is a squad based action game that puts players in the
shoes of four barely trained 101st Airborne soldiers who are caught countless miles behind
enemy lines during the 1968 Tet Offensive. It is up to the player to use all four members of
the squad and utilize their different abilities in order to successfully traverse through
booby trap filled terrain, loaded with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers. The
objective isn't to win the war; the objective is to make it out alive.
