Ah, the French Foreign Legion, a subject that doesn't get much play in American culture unless it is mentioned in an old Porky Pig cartoon or a bad Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. Now there's Code of Honor 2: Conspiracy Island, a first-person shooter that lets you play as part of the French Foreign Legion. However, this low-budget effort is so clumsy that any self-respecting shooter fan would do well to stay away.
There's not much of a conspiracy to Conspiracy Island, nor is there much of a plot to begin with. You are Sergeant Boulet, part of an elite team sent to the remote Pacific island after mercenaries seize it and butcher the science team. Your job: kill them. The localization from the original French game was maybe a bit too effective though, as the good guy voices are so downright American that you have to wonder why they didn't at least try to fake French accents. Then again, this is the French Foreign Legion, but even the female dispatcher's voice over the radio is American
