Product Description
Platform: Xbox 360
At the height of the Vietnam War, a covert ops cargo plane carrying a top-secret consignment known only as 'Whiteknight' is lost over the deepest, uncharted jungles. Special Ops soldiers are immediately dispatched to the scene to retrieve the top secret shipment and one-by-one they disappear without a trace... until one month later, one of them suddenly walks out of the jungle. Crazed and deranged, something in the jungle had ripped out his humanity, poisoning his soul. Something in the darkness had driven him mad... and followed him out.
Taking the first-person war game and turning it on its head, Shellshock 2: Blood Trails places you in a war where fear takes on a whole new meaning.

What a shame. The concept for this game was great (A combination of Vietnam and horror genres). The execution is very poor. The graphics are very under par for a 360 game, but the gameplay also lacks imaginiation. Play areas are very confined, with barely any option but to follow a narrow path through the level. Weapons are lacklustre and basic.
I recently got Legendary. This game didn't have the highest standard of graphics, but was still enjoyable, as it had interesting levels, enemies and story. I was expecting something of a similar standard here, but alas it just didn't happen.
This game crept out with barely any marketing or advertising, and I think it is because of it's poor quality that noone was shouting about it from the rooftops. These days I expect a reasonable quality for a £30-£40 game, but this fell very short and I find it hard to justify charging this kind of money for something so below the acceptable standard.

Maybe I am looking through rose tinted spectacles, but as a person who played ShellShock on the PS2 and throughily enjoyed that game, I expected Shellshock 2 on the xbox 360 to be a major improvement, and how wrong I was.
The major grip I have with this game, is that there is no real playability to it. When I want to get into a shooting position, take cover and shoot from cover (like one can do in Gears of War 2, brothers in arms and most other fps) my only option is to stand or kneel. Its terrible.
I can forgive the lean graphics, if only I felt drawn in. There is no real sensation when firing a gun, or no real direction (no map etc) menaing than although one is hand held through the stages there is still a sense of wandering aimlessly.
To be honest its a cr@p game, and what a shame that is considering the first game was miles better on a lesser platform!

Hello
I have been playing SS2 (360 Pal version)for the past few days and have to report it is terrible in almost every way.
The graphics are very original xbox, so while not being terrible they fall way bellow most 360 and Cod games. The soundtrack again is just serviceable at best, with the score soaring and dipping throughout the game.
The real problem is the gameplay, since the first SS (which I thought was great)we have switched from 3rd to 1st person and with it have the loathed Quick Time Events, these really have no place in games and certainly not in 1st person ones, where you/your character is already immersed enough into the gameworld. You move very slowly, you can run via lb. The weapons switch is so slow as to frustrate and you get snagged on the game engine a fair bit.
The game is split over 10 levels, each taking anyway from 20-40 mins to get through and is a fairly straight forward corridor shooter albeit set in Nam and with a horror edge, I will give praise for some tense moments, especially during a mission in a mansion, but these are few and far between.
The game does seem to throw some easy achievements at you (always good!) although I will not be getting the "played twice" or "complete the game on the hardest setting", I did so on normal, I got 150 points for that.
To summerise, a really poor effort and great shame as the 1st game to use this name/brand was really rather good.

Yeah, the graphics are not the best, and it is pretty dark gameplay, although you can put brightness to the fullest which makes the gameplay a hell of a lot easier. Read more

When at its best, its still only mediocre!
Shellshock 2 has a pretty good premise. There aren't many games set during the Vietnam War. We've all seen Platoon and Missing in Action and all those 80's movies. Read more
