I like combat games when you have choices. You are able to clean out the town or area you are in. Not so in this one. I had fun with it. Maybe it just me.
 Great Shooter November 27, 2007
I just purchased it at EB games for 5 bucks! I have always wanted to purchase a copy of this so I was really excited.
There are 5 discs which come with the game which brought me back to the good old days. This game is highly enjoyable even in 2007-2008! There are still quite a few people who play this online as well.
Game is pretty challenging. You will have a rough time even if you are an experienced shooter fan. For the price here on amazon it is a must because of the great gameplay and graphics for 05.
Similiar to battlefield 2 IMHO
Sorry for the short and mumbled review...
 Nearly as good as the original. October 11, 2007

I realize I'm in the minority here, but I loved VC2. True, they (mostly) lost the jungle setting of the original game, and the original game is a classic that's hard to top, but Pterodon Studios is the same developer that made the first game, and it shows. Gameplay is still excellent, just in a different setting. I thought a lot of the level design was superb. A lot of the settings are still burned into my mind. The opening levels are a bit unintentionally humorous...for instance, you are at a party wandering around amongst the guests, and the 'fire' button causes you to raise your wineglass in a toast. But it's actually part of the story, so I had no problem with that.
The game's engine appears to be a slightly updated version of the engine used in the original game. For me, this meant that my framerates were pretty low, even considering my high-end (for the time) machine. I was one of those that thought the graphics engine was actually beautiful to look at, however, it could have used more optimization to get it to run faster. I finished both games just fine, but there were many times my framerates would fall below 20 fps, and it didn't matter how I tweaked the graphics settings. So if you buy this game, be prepared. You may have trouble with framerates no matter what you do. But even then, I think it's a great game to have.

I picked this up at big lot's for 6 bucks and I still feel like i've been ripped off, I can't understand the high system requirments for this game when the graphics look like they are from a game from 1999! I have amd athlon 64 3500+ 2.0gigs of ram,nvidia geforce 7600gs oc 512mb graphics card, soundblaster audigy 4. my system eats up most games on max settings for breakfast! but this game chugged along like a turtle with 3 legs! stay away from this pile!

I wish I could tell you how good the gameplay is - but my game would not install. Repeated emails to their customer support address and inquiries at their website yielded no response at all.
(At least the other reviewer got rude responses...)
I would avoid games from this company.
The game would not run, and their tech suppport does not respond to calls for assistance.
