Magicka: Vietnam Critic Reviews

Magicka goes Vietnam and brings more firepower to the original formula. The use of weapons changes the gameplay and the overall feeling is good. Unfortunately the DLC is tiny but the price is balanced.

It's as crazy as you can think of, like Vietcong popping out of your magic cauldron. And fun as hell.

Vietnam's story mission is pants, but the new weapons and survival map will please devoted Magicka fans.

Magicka: Vietnam completely changes the way you play Magicka, but there's not enough content and as the difficulty level so high this is more for the most hardcore players of the game.

Still buggy. Not nearly as funny.

Magicka: Vietnam has its moments, but this oddball add-on is marred by frustrating difficulty.

Despite my best wishes and my fondness for Arrowhead Studios, it's hard to call Magicka: Vietnam anything else but a product designed for a fast buck. I believe that the game's price shouldn't influence its overall grade but I have to revise that statement. One hour of fun for half of the full game's price is ridiculous.

Look, just play Magicka. Because it at least makes some kind of sense.
