 A Bit Shallow July 28, 2008
Dimitri Shoz
This game has riveting action and does attempt to convey the feeling of being in the middle of the Vietnam war. What prevents it from being excellent is that it tends to be repetitive. For instance, the mission where you enter the temple to kill the hated VC general is overwrought - it's the same type of firefight over and over again. The enemy AI is good, not spectacular; they tend to march forward in a line like zombies. There were too many times when I just got tired of killing enemies. It requires some creative thought, not alot. If your only going to play one Vietnam game, play the Conflict version instead.
 Just as good as any other crappy linear game May 12, 2007

There are swamp, rice pattys, villages. The missions are poorly conceived pieces of stuff, it is also very, very, very linear to the point that they don't hide it like in any other video game. The enemy is not changeling (the NVA would hide and not have big hats). The enemies come in two flavors those that just stand there oblivious that they have to move to avoid your shoots and those that run towards you.
There's an interactive Base Camp where you can talk go around and do a whole lot of nothing, except boom-boom, get some illegal drugs, shot your weapons, and the "boom-boom" is stupid and has no gameplay/fun/replay value.
The Graphics are realistic graphics they have a grainy texture to them, This is cool some of the time and if it were a better game (aka open ended with brighter/more hidden enemies this would be cool. The death animations are so unbelievable you'll laugh at them (not that I admire the death scenes in any video game). And the cutscenes are vile and pointless (due to the pointless violence)
I would say that the controls are easy to learn and that there's a easy learning curve, but then again (no bragging/pun/'I'm better that you', because were all equal :) I have played a lot of games and know how to easily learn all the control schematics of the games that I play.
ShellShock has one of the least realistic damage to the main character than from any game that I've played. Your health bar regenerates over time, so all you have to do is go to a safe point and wait for 10 seconds.
This game is a best a $10.00-$5.00 meant to be picked up in the bargain bins. You probably should Rent or buying at the price I mentioned in the last sentience anything more is a waste of money.

 WHATS WITH THE BOOM BOOM THING! March 5, 2006
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
Good game but the "Boom-Boom" is useless.It is kinda like a horror game as there are alot of severed corpses,heads,body parts.
whats with the crazy half-nude suicide soldiers that run into everyone and blow up.Its fun taking that RPG7 and blowing up enemies into gibz,or killing civilians for fun-especialy shooting them in the stomach where they just wimper until they collapse to the floor dead.Most fellow soldiers can`t die if they are part of the story like Tick Tock,The Gunner,Phycho and Lt.O`neil but others can besides all these men have a certain death anyway(Phycho will die by the horhouse after getting blown u).
I tried to save a certain person from dying-He was Gardner the guy that walked into the spike-trap after being a smartazz and rushing a head of everyone,I nearly saved him but we both stepped into it-So i guess Gardner will have to die in that spiketrap whatever i do.
the games short about 10 missions.
whats with the BoomBoom you don`t see anything it does not affect your soldiers status,it costs from 30-60 CHITS to hire them-when they all teh same yet it cost about 20 Chits to enter the friggin place.
bye
