Life Imitates Art - Uwe Boll’s First Game (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/09/18/life-imitates-art-uwe-bolls-first-game/)

The universe is complete. It’s all about circles, you see. That’s my new bullshit theory, on which I will now build both an alternative therapy and life-coaching courses, at astonishing prices. My proof: Uwe Boll is making a movie - 1968 Tunnel Rats (http://www.boll-ag.com/english/index_e.htm) - that’s not based on a videogame. And a videogame is being made of his movie! IT ALL CONNECTS!

This time Boll turns his sensitive, delicate hand to the Vietnam war. And, despite there being very few so far, the reviews aren’t too harsh (http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117937650.html?u=IMDB&p=H2BE&cs=1). Using his familiar tunnels, 1968 Tunnel Rats follows a group of American soldiers as they fight through the claustrophobic tunnels of the Viet Cong. And fascinatingly, there was apparently no script - the film’s dialogue completely improvised by the relatively unknown cast.
And so to the first look at the game:

It looks fine really, doesn’t it? Right now I can’t figure out which developer is making it, which is odd. So it’s hard to tell you any more. I’m also not clear what it is that they don’t prepare you for, unless it’s out-of-control helicopters, which would seem an oversight in basic training. Sadly it’s very unlikely to be zombie Viet Cong hordes, as this seems a pretty straight movie from Boll. We shall see.

Looks a LOT like farcry 2 in terms of artistic style, animations suck, and if the whole game is in tunnels (i know that it says you fight in jungles), I can't see how that would be fun.

The animations and sound pretty much sucked along with some of the explosion effects. But it looks...okay.

Am I MAN enough? Good god, that was one of the lamest trailers I've ever seen. Needs more info.

Naa, I actually thought that the game looked cool. I've seen worse animations, the sounds were OK, and the tunnel models needed work, but overall it looks pretty cool. I have to agree though, trailer sucked.

Maybe Uwe Boll stole the idea, and that's why it's actually good? :o
