Conflict: Vietnam demo released

Rumble in the Jungle. That's not our pun, by the way, that's the name of the level.

SCi has released a playable demo of Pivotal Games' chart-topping squad-based Conflict: Vietnam title, which you can get hold of on Eurofiles this morning if you fancy seeing what all the fuss is about.

The demo's a hefty 248MB, and features the second full mission from the game, entitled Rumble in the Jungle. There's not much else to say, other than you'll probably need a minimum of a P4 1.5GHz, 128MB RAM and a 32MB graphics card for it to look any good on your machine.

And of course if you're interested in what we thought of C:V, you can read our review of the Xbox version here, and for the sake of completion here's a review of its top charting buddy Shellshock: Nam '67 from Guerrilla Games and Eidos.
