Unique 3rd Person ShooterSep 22, 2004
By Blair Kasfeldt "Biblical Hebrew: Vocabulary Made Easy!"
Personally I really like 3rd Person Shooters, so I suppose this will slant my review, but I really thought this game was fun.

Im not sure why everyone is blasting the graphics and gameplay. I thought, overall, the character models looked good and the environment was well done.

While I am not a combat vet, I imagine a good deal of the firefights that took place in Nam were from a distance so the complaint that you don't always see your enemy up close was done on purpose. I think the game has somewhat of a feel of [edited] to it, although you cannot control your squad, which was disappointing.

There is a nice array of weapons (although historically inaccurate in many places) and a good variety of missions to accomplish.

The story line was OK, but predicatable. Wasn't happy about the anti-vetran slant the game had - not all the guys in Nam committed war crimes as this game often depicts. VietNam vets should be remembered honorably as they served in an impossible situation with no moral support from home - that is the true atrocity of the war.

A final BIG disappointment for xbox owners. The xbox version has a bug that causes the game to crash on the 8th level. Eidos is well aware of it, but hasn't issued anything offical regarding what they plan to do for us disgruntled xbox game owners - thanks Eidos. ...

Good But too Easy and too many glichesOct 13, 2004
By a "NA"
The game was good, but like other reviewers said it freezes up way too much. But even with that set aside the game is way too easy even on Hard level. I think I beat the game in like 4-5 hours of gameplay. ... Also they should have a co-op play it would have been an improvement. They also need to make it more realistic, like for instance your squad when ever they die they come back to life, or the enemys take like 16 shots to die, and same for you. Need to make it more like Ghost Recon where 1 shot can kill you.

Dont Waste Your Time Or MoneySep 17, 2004
By David Holt
This game is really bad. The only new thing is the gore factor which at first is different but it gets old and unexciting real fast. Plays like [edited]. After the third mission I totally lost interest. .... I was really looking forward to this game and then I became disappointed real fast. Next time this company should spend their time in developing a more realistic type of game and get away from the hitman type feel. This is a renter and even then entertaining for only a few hours. Don't waste your time or $ on this one. ...

Again, not for girly menOct 22, 2004
By Frank Acosta
This game is diffrent than other games as it really tried to be dark. And what I mean is that though war is hell, and all FPS (first person shooters) games depict death and violence as in war, no other game so far as touched on what Shellshock tries to touch on. The brutallity of the NVA and VC. ... It's this detail to the nature of the enemy that is going to hit very close to home for some. Running through rice fields with mortars exploding all around, civilians turning on you. Everything is here. So be warned, as in real life, this war is hell

Lots of Blood - Bordering on GratuitousDec 19, 2004
By Lisa Shea "medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
If you're looking for a true immersive experience in combat-ridden Vietnam of the late 60s, this mature title might fit the bill.

You work your way through the conflicts in Vietnam, starting as a green rookie and learning skills and techniques as you go. There are squad blasting missions, sneaky missions, missions where you need to slay a certain person, and other missions where you just shoot everyone in sight.

The graphics are reasonably good - trees have individual leaves, the helmets have sayings scrawled on them, bursts of blood come out from shots. The weapons and outfits are well done.

The sound goes for realistic over arcady. You don't get fun bouncy soundtracks as you fight you rway through the jungle - instead you're surrounded by gunfire, the shouting of your commander's orders and the cries of the wounded. It does get a little repetitive, though, as you hear "destroy that tunnel!" for the 20th time in a row.

There are booby traps and tunnels, napalm and death. You shoot women in the head, see hands blown off. In general this game really earns its mature rating. Heads burst like a balloon, and some of the mission situations are questionable. If I was a Vietnam Vet (or a Vietnamese person for that matter) I'd be pretty annoyed at the portrayal of what an 'average soldier' was like.

If you're a shooter fan and are looking for lots of blood, and can disconnect the game with the history it's playing, then you might enjoy this. But if you're really a fan of the military and of realistic shooters, there are other games on the market that are better to spend your money on.
