Maxim gave the game a score of six out of ten, saying, "figuring out how to work the controller is absolutely infuriating, meaning you go into firefights against stealthy Charlie with no knowledge of your environment, opponent, or weapon." [27] The Times similarly gave the PlayStation 2 version three stars out of five and said, "It is the clichéd choice of music played on the camp radio that makes you wonder whether it is worth delving deeper into this game," citing the use of "Paint It Black" in the TV series Tour of Duty and of "Nowhere to Run" in Good Morning, Vietnam . [26] The Sydney Morning Herald , however, gave the same console version two-and-a-half stars out of five, saying: "Squeezing the Desert Storm games into the currently fashionable Vietnam setting was a mistake. Open landscapes are replaced by claustrophobic jungle, eliminating tactical freedom. Players edge along narrow paths, progressing from one firefight to the next." [25]
