Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter review Multiple Players; Microsoft X-Box; Internet Required Developed by the team responsible for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Sierra's Men of Valor: Vietnam is modeled after its successful World War II counterpart. Players are thrust into the thick and stifling jungles of the Vietnam War in a first-person shooter focusing on infantry combat. Using a graphic engine based on Unreal technology, Men of Valor hopes to create a realistic environment fraught with many of the dangers that made the war a harrowing test of survival. Authentic scenarios such as the Tet offensive, Danang airbase, and attack on Hue are featured as well as elements like prostitutes, air strikes, and burning huts. Players will fight alongside fellow soldiers controlled by the computer or team-up with a friend for cooperative play. Additional multiplayer modes offer selectable characters from the North Vietnamese Army, Viet Cong, and U.S. Forces.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter XB Without Warning is a technological thriller set in the campus of a large chemical factory, which has been seized by a fanatical organization. Commanding a selection of six diverse heroes, players must infiltrate the Peterson-Davis Chemicals compound, assist any civilian employees they encounter, and ultimately, neutralize the eco-terrorist threat. In addition to combat and stealth objectives, challenges include exploration, puzzle-solving, hostage protection, and a number of plot-related mini-games. The six key characters include three military operatives: a veteran squad leader, an unproven rookie, and a bomb disposal specialist. The three civilian heroes are a frightened Peterson-Davis secretary, a security guard who escaped the terrorists' initial raid, and a TV news cameraman whose helicopter is shot down while covering the complex. Not unlike the contemporarily popular television series, 24, Without Warning involves different characters taking actions and influencing the plot at the same virtual time. The game's "Timeline" features allow players to take the roles of each of the six main heroes in turn, ensuring that each agent completes his part of the job before time runs out for everyone. As one operative reaches a critical, suspenseful point in his part of the plotline, the focus may switch to another character, so gamers can experience each part of the developing story first-hand.
