Don't!!! Real shit-hole of a game, one of the worst I've ever played. Read the review at Avault.com.

Here's a clip --

Some titles can be stricken with bad AI and still come through as a relatively decent experience; Vietnam: Black Ops is not one of them. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to say that there is really any AI to be found at all, since enemies do nothing but fire at you without moving to intercept, follow, flee or any other action that could be interpreted as being remotely intelligent. Considering that the levels are so linear as to lead you by the nose from start to finish and that the weapons are by and large useless, the only enjoyment one could hope to find would lie within the visceral and bloody action. Unfortunately, the graphics are so utterly laughable and devoid of variety that even this aspect fails to have any real impact. Without solid gameplay, decent visuals or an acceptable level of difficulty, Vietnam: Black Ops rests as a game that cannot be recommended to anyone.
