Back in 2004 a game was released for the PS2, Xbox,and PC titled Shellshock: Nam ‘67 developed by Guerrilla Games the same developer of Killzone 1 and the most recent Killzone 2, and published by Eidos of Tomb Raider and Hitman fame. Much like Killzone, Nam ‘67 was hyped as a gritty,realistic,war game. Just like Killzone the game didn’t live up to the hype due to clunky gameplay and bad cutscenes. It is now 2009 and Eidos is attempting to redeem the woes of the first game.
“What do you mean a different developer?”
Since Guerrilla Games was too busy working on Killzone 2 Eidos enlisted Star Wars:Renegade Squadron and supposed Star Wars: Battlefront 3 developer Rebellion to make the sequel to Nam ‘67 titled Shellshock 2: Blood Trails. All I have to say based off of their performance on this game is that I am worried for Battlefront 3.
“The Equivalent Of A Straight-To-DVD Movie”
If you have ever seen an awesome movie and then seen the straight-to-DVD movie where the plot sucks, there are no ties to the original film,and it is just ridiculous in a bad way. This game is the equivalent of a straight-to-DVD movie.
“Survival Horror? You’ve got to be fu*#@ing kidding me”
The first Shellshock was a war game and if you pick up this game without having checked online sources like IGN or GameSpot you will be sorely disappointed with what you find in this game. Shellshock 2 Blood Trails is not at all a war game but a survival horror game. Wait survival horror WHAT THE FUCK! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! Well you play as some army dude who’s brother is among the ravening zombies who are tearing everybody in Nam apart whether they are GI or Cong. And there is this whole operation Whiteknight and nobody cares. This game is a piece of steaming crap. It is BS that there is a game on the 360 that is uglier than Dead Rising a game that came out three years ago. There is not a single good thing about this game. It so bad that I am ending the review now.
This game gets a 1.0 out of 10 this piece of crap should be avoided at all costs.

Is it really that hard to change the god damn name, it’s a completely different game, different genre why did they make it sound like a sequel. WTF? Any way good review man.
