Platoon is a real-time strategy video game developed by Digital Reality and published by Monte Cristo for the PC Windows in 2002. It was also published by Strategy First as Platoon: The 1st Airborne Cavalry Division in Vietnam. Platoon is the second video game adaptation of the 1986 war film of the same title, following the 1987 game by Ocean Software. Despite it being marketed as "the first strategy game about the Vietnam War", the first such game was actually SSI's 1986 Nam.

Reception


The game received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] IGN's Dan Adams said: "If you're looking for something akin to this, you could try out Soldiers of Anarchy, which is great except for the pathfinding (which you can pray they fix) or even go back to the good old days and pick up one of the Myth series or even Commandos 2. But don't waste you're [sic] money here".[6]
