Product Description

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3

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... Somehting from the darkness has followed him out...

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprised, not SHELLSHOCKED, March 11, 2009

This review is from: Shellshock 2: Blood Trails (Video Game)

I got this about a week ago. Have played it for 10 hours or so. Although it has some interesting features, and is a one player game, which can be a relief from the rough and tumble online only games, SHELLSHOCK 2 can be rather difficult to get into. It is actually a sort of chapter by chapter game, going from slow to the point of distraction to "what the hey was that?" It certainly is not in the category of the newest games on the market, and is more in a reminder of earlier games that taught you how to play the newer games. I still plan to finish it and try for the hardest level to compare it to the online games in degrees of difficulty and to see how it comes out as far as a storyline is concerned. Keep in mind, I am relatively new to gaming, age 65, and ENDWAR is still kicking my booty, but I think serious gamers should probably look elsewhere for purchases. I do love the World at War series, this is NOT that quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent First Person Shooter, October 20, 2009

This review is from: Shellshock 2: Blood Trails (Video Game)

I saw some reviews of this game and to be honest yes, it does not deserve a 5 star but to my opinion, it lies between 3.5 to 4.

The game is pretty basic, find zombie and shoot him. The images are pretty gruesome and there are parts of the game that will actually make surprise you and make you jump. Yes, this game is not of high quality, my best guess would be a mix between a good PS1 Medal of Honor and the 'horror' of Resident Evil 5. I am in NO WAY comparing the game to either of those, but the ideas are there.

The controller takes a little to get used to and I had to change the motion sensibility on my PS3 to button combination, it just seemed as though the motion sensors were not picking up the controller movement, minor adjustment. Now, onto the gameplay. Like I said, a basic first person shooter, what makes this game fairly good is the gore, you can shoot the zombies and you will see their body parts explode, mind you, the ammo is scarce and you have to heavily rely on melee attacks for at least a good 1/4 of the game, to the advantage of the game, the melee works fine, it slows down your enemy and takes life away, not much, but just enough. I played it on the hardest level to make it challenging and I got a good kick out of it. The game is short but keeps you glued to your chair if you make it hard enough, and for a price under $20 (shipping included) I would say it is a good investment if you wish to shoot for some hours.
