    I REALLY enjoyed this game! It had an amazing story and the graphics looked great! I have no clue why everyone says the sound, graphics, gameplay all suck. I think the only thing that sucked is no multiplayer and that it was short. Though, there are two endings, and I have beat it 3 times now and I am still not tired of it! Go rent it and try it, I am glad I bought it!

    A crappy game. Not even worth the money. The game is easy even on the hardest difficulty, the story is ridiculous, and the flashlight is practically useless. DO NOT BUY.

    (Written by AnotherSociety and x Joelene x) The Story So Far You play as Nate Walker drafted into the US army in the height of the Vietnam War. Not giving away too much you join your brother Cal who joined the US army way before you after finding out there father was dishonorably discharged for cowardice due to shellshock. Cal wanted to show that the whole family was not the same and quickly moved up through the ranks with his bravery and courage. Basically you need to get to cal and find out what White Knight is all about. Having played the first shell shock (shellshock Nam 67) I wasn’t blown away by it. It was just another straight forward shooter even back then and this just seems to follow along the same path. Look and Feel Sadly the graphics and controls seem to be stuck back there too. The story was the only thing that kept my attention through out this game. Sadly even that was a bit all over the place at times. The cut-scenes are pretty good there gruesome and violent but again they wont blow you away graphically. Running is very similar to medal of honor with the camera moving about the place. There are also button sequences through out the game which may sometimes catch you off guard. This is my Boomstick If you a fan of ‘Hour of Victory’ or ‘History Channel Battle for the Pacific’ you will be right at home. The slow controls and the feel or the lack of feel from the guns is not the best whether you use a hand gun or a AK47 the feel is the same. The grenades and RPG’s have little or no explosions which look really bad when detonated. The selection of weapons is run of the mill handgun, M1 carbine, M16, Ak47, Shotgun Japanese rifle which feels a lot like the Kar98 for Call of Duty 3, RPG and Grenades. Even the heavy mounted machine guns are not the best. Overall Not one of the best World War 2 games I have ever played but it’s worth a go. Defiantly give it a rent at least as there’s no multiplayer and you will easy finish it in a day or two. Recommend playing it on hard though as it’s very easy the toughest part was near the end of the game if you get stuck I have a small vid click in videos section that will get you through it ; )… Expand

    Starting off this game will make you scared. Seeing soilders with no legs and meat hanging out is crazy. The game plays like most first person shooters and it looks really good. The only downfall is that your soilder will get overwhelmed with enemies and will die because he ran out of bullets. Besides that this game is worth playing.

    Some awesome moments to be had. The level in the claustrophobic undeground tunnels of Vietnam was awesome, as was the level where you are trying to find your way out of a rundown Cambodian mansion filled with walking zombies that you can only kill with headshots. Therewas also a level with traps that you must avoid as you walk through the dank moonlit cambodian jungle. I honestly felt more fear playing this game than I did playing FEAR II. Sure this game may be glitchy in spots, a little rough around the edges, and no multiplayer, but it is still worth checking out. I spent more time with this than with Street Fighter IV, and I bought them both around the same time... hmmm.… Expand

    I recently purchased this game and have played it about 4 hours. I actually like this game and do not care if it does not have multiplayer capabilities. I love how you fight in the jungle and all the while actually feel that the war in Vietnam was alot like this having grown up during that era. Vietnam was unlike any war ever fought and I thought the developers brought alot of the realism of the war in this game. I do not know why this game received such a low rating I thought it was good and it held my interest and there are some very challenging moments.… Expand

    Its not that bad of a game. Its just sloppy, and takes 2 hours to finish. Worth a rent. Maybe not buy it unless you've played it before. Don't buy for 10 bucks. Not worth your money.

    Good horror, and gore. I actually really liked it. Not the best, but good. I've played Bioshock witch was much better, but still a good game.

    Shellshock 2: Blood Trails is an insolvent try to bring back to life a forgettable war franchise, changing its context to the horror style. No matter from which angle you choose to look at Blood Trails, it's a horrendous videogame. Boring, exasperating, and ugly in the most literal sense of the word.

    Shellshock 2 is one of the most poorly designed and unplayable games this generation. Not even its admittedly interesting premise can keep it from feeling unfinished and completely unnecessary.

    Miserable graphics, poor sound and a story which isn't able to fascinate – this game is a no-go. Maybe the king of no-gos. Don't play this title, it will definitely be wasted time.
