Operation: Vietnam. Developed by Coyote Console and scheduled for worldwide release this autumn by Majesco.Operation: Vietnam drops players into the war-torn jungles of Vietnam as they try to escape enemy territory.
"Operation: Vietnam packs the run-and-gun action found in popular arcade games into the Nintendo DS™," said John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. "The squad-based gameplay and variety of missions create a fast-paced, exciting experience for gamers on the go."
In Operation: Vietnam, a chopper flight over the thick jungles of worn-torn Vietnam goes horribly wrong as the transport is shot down deep inside Viet Cong territory. Surrounded by the enemy, players must rally their squad and lead them back to safety. Along the way, players must fend off repeated assaults while liberating oppressed villagers.
Exciting features of Operation: Vietnam include:
* Use the Touch Screen to issue commands, access inventory, view maps and select which squad member to control;
* Utilize your squad to combat multiple enemy types including: soldiers, tanks, turrets, enemy barracks, etc.;
* Take advantage of different specialties and weapons per soldier: long range rifle, grenade launcher, automatic weapons, and more;
* Flush out enemies with smoke grenades or take them out with fragmentation grenades.
Will also include Wi-Fi but no details of what that would entail.
Screen shots aren't really all that clear to me but it looks like it could be well detailed. I like the sound of this game, run and gun arcade style but you can also issue commands and sounds like there could be some strategy to the gameplay. We'll only know if its worth giving a damn about when its eventually release, but theres little else like it on the DS like it so heres hoping.
Right I'm off to drink some rum and wait for Doctor Who
