  • Summary: ShellShock: Nam '67 focuses on one man?s experience of the most controversial war of modern times. You take on the role of a rookie soldier on his first tour of duty as he experiences the fear, chaos and atrocities of the Vietnam War. From the napalm bombardments of civilian villages and the gruesome VC (Viet Cong) boobytraps, to the permanent threat of invisible foes and deadly ambushes, Shellshock: Nam '67 dares to go where no other war game has gone. Powered by Guerrilla?s ground-breaking technology, ShellShock: Nam ?67 delivers a graphically harrowing depiction of the terror of combat. You must fight your way through a variety of missions ranging from large scale battlefield encounters with the North Vietnamese Army to stealth-based missions such as assassinating a VC General. As you progress from a ?grunt? to Special Forces carrying out classified missions, you will have to rely on the same skills and tactics employed in the battlefields of Vietnam in order to survive. Your tour will take you from the lush wetlands of the South to the mountain borders of the North featuring diverse locations including dense jungles, rural Vietnamese villages and claustrophobic tunnel systems.

    The line "Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules" has never been so fully embodied by a video game.

    On the plus side, what's there is competently done and is flecked with powerful moments of brutality. On the downside, these spots of overt anguish aren't dealt with particularly well and lead to a reduction of the overall effect.

    Firefights become more surreal than menacing when the worst-case scenario is of your fellow GIs having to catch their breath for a few seconds after being riddled with bullets. [Aug 2004, p.96]

    Truly disappointed by this game. Really anticipated a unique experience because of the media leading up to its release. General freedom to act and explore in this game is very limited - they should have licenced the Crytec engine. Graphics are likewize outdated -even older engines generate better graphics. Gameplay is again hopeless! Even purchasing an older Conflict series game is recommended compared to this.… Expand

    I think I can quote other user's review, because it's the best description of what I think about this game: "Terrible controls, cartoonish combat, atrocious level design. Dodge this draft.… Expand
