Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Men of Valor is how the game’s developers are approaching the storyline. The narrative of the game will follow an American marine through the early stages of the conflict – from ‘search and destroy missions around Da Nang airbase to the Tet Offensive and the counterattack on Hue’. Openly admitting that the conflict is ‘the most controversial of the modern era’, the makers of Men of Valor are promising a storyline which captures the ‘heroism and valor typical of the American soldier…unsung during the turbulent times’. What this exactly means remains to be seen. 

Nevertheless, Sierra and 2015 are promising a game that will put the player ‘in the middle of scenes like those in the finest war films’. Should be interesting.
