    Flat out awful mission and objective designs tear down what is really only a mediocre-at-best third person shooter engine.

    Appropriately, during the ending credits John Lee Hooker sings, "Lord have mercy, don't let me go to Vietnam." Gee, I guess he must have played this game too.

    Simply uninspired - and repetitious to boot. [Oct 2004, p.97]

    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]

    For some, Shellshock may represent the true horrors of war; for us, it simply embodies the terror of a bad game.

    The bad game play doesn’t stop at confusing mission objectives either—if you like running and gunning then you just might enjoy Shellshock because that’s the only thing you’ll be doing.

    What I'm opposed to is a crude, unattractive, senseless war game like Shellshock: Nam '67. [Oct 2004, p.76]

    Any Vietnam vets out there that play this game will be appalled. Wait for Men of Valor. At least it will do those that fought there justice. Any Vietnam vets out there that play this game will be appalled. Wait for Men of Valor. At least it will do those that fought there justice. This game is terrible in every aspect: graphics, control and gameplay. Nothing more than any other third person shooter set in Vietnam to get people to spend money on it. Where are the quality assurance teams nowdays? How could anyone let a game that seems to be only about 30% complete get shipped to stores? … Full Review »
