  • Summary: ShellShock 2: Blood Trails is a violent, first-person, survival horror game set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Gameplay centers on the use of psychological horror and fear, relying on the power of suggestion, mood, tension and foreshadowing - implying the notion of danger, potential danger, imminent danger, and horrifying acts that have or are implied to have occurred or will come to pass. On course for war torn Vietnam, a plane carrying a top-secret cargo known only as Whiteknight is lost over the uncharted jungles of Cambodia. The special ops squad sent in to retrieve it disappear wtihout trace. Until, a month later, one of them walks out. Something in the darkness has driven him insane... Something from the darkness has followed him out. [Eidos Interactive]… Expand

    Rebellion's game positions uncomfortably between the greatest shooters currently on the market. Its poor technical side together with a boring level design, basic AI and the lack of variety in game modes, end up shaping a title that will soon surely fall into oblivion.

    A budget title and it shows. The visuals, level design, AI, and just about anything else you can think of can't match up with the top-tier first-person shooters. On top of that, you only get 10 brief stages and no multiplayer options.

    ShellShock 2: Blood Trails spices up Vietnam with a liberal application of zombies, but the controls and the generic shooter gameplay leave a lot to be desired.

    1st level lived up to the bad reviews, but it really did improve after that, as a casual gamer I liked the high frequency of check points that kept me in the game. I thought that the levels were varied and quiet imaginative. This game is not in the same league as kill zone 2 or COD 4 or 5, but it is also not as nearly as bad as some would have you believe. If you see it going cheap pick it up, I bought it expecting little, but really enjoyed it! don't be afraid to give it a go.… Expand

    This game improve a lot from the first one and had potential to be a great game. Gameplay: it have solid voice acting and have a lot fun to enjoy this game especially shoot zombies with shotgun. Some levels is very enjoyable such in jungles and the design are very good. graphics: better than first one. most of this game play in dark environment...that's pretty cool when see light reflecting within the environment.Textures are not bad. sound: pretty cool and the sound effect are nice. overall: It's enjoyable game and have cool atmosphere. this game very brutal and gore with some disturbing scenes. besides, the story is interesting.… Expand

    Well after playing this game for a few minutes I could already tell it was utter crap. The whole game suffers from "Turning Point: Fall of Liberty" syndrome. Controls are utter crap, aiming is tedious, and you can't aim lower than 30 degrees up or down. There are also several annoying quicktime events through out the game, all of which were using the WASD keys (each frustratingly difficult). Now I don't get why this project wasn't canned. I played about 6 levels in, uninstalled it and was still pissed at exactly HOW bad this game is. I really would drag on with other tiny nit picks but it would be a waste of time. The game is probably the worst thing since Vegemite, don't even bother renting this piece of shit. 0/10… Expand
