#Shellshock nam 67 gog full
You can shoot civilians, pigs (squeal little hog!), team-mates (although they always get up again, as seems to be the law in war-based games) and run around dungeons full of corpses in citadels with 'welcome to hell' scrawled on the wall in the blood. It's shot in the third-person, has more death that a 15th Century plague party and lets you go as mental as you like with very big guns. What story is included involves a vicious Vietcong general given to massacre and not much else and your missions against his forces. Anyone who's seen Platoon will remember this scene for the atmosphere alone.įrom the off, Shellshock is like being kicked in the face with a size 10 Commie boot. Charlie Sheen's face in the final shot looks like child who's seen a ghost. With the battle 'won', the team desperately tries to revive the LMG gunner who's been shot in the gut, screaming at him, beating his chest, hissing at him to 'take the pain'.
Tracer in the jungle makes for horrific viewing. Taylor hits a Claymore and begins one of film's most appalling, enthralling war scenes. Then he sees the straw hats, the VC in the milky atmosphere, ghosts in the trees. When Taylor wakes the rain is ceased and yellow mist drapes languidly over crystal moonlight, leaves and twigs and solid silence rolled with water drops. And they all drift away in the end, soaked and exhausted. Claymores hang in the trees and the dark. Taylor blames stinking heat and insects for his inability to sleep while the others watch. Oliver Stone shows his squad locking and loading and slides them into a mosquito hole with bulbous eyes and dripping skin. One of the first action sequences in Platoon chronicles Private Chris Taylor's first night in the bush. It's no more controversial than a hundred other games you'll have seen before, all of which play better than this. Thankfully, the quality of the sound fares better, featuring several licensed tracks from the era accompanied by some atmospheric sound effects throughout the game.Nevertheless, is a mess. There was even one part of the game where the approach of an enemy could be spotted by watching his elbow protruding through a brick wall. The graphics engine itself isn't exactly triple-A, and is blighted by an annoying fog that fails to hide the pop-up. It's all far tamer than it sounds though - the pictures are juvenile, the drugs are no more controversial than Snake's sniper-rifle steadying pills in, and the encounters with prostitutes are sexually inexplicit.The presentation is a mixed bag - the pre-rendered cinematicsare generally of a high standard, yet the in-engine cutscenes are dull and unskippable. The contraband stuff includes pictures of women with - yes -partially exposed breasts, not to mention a selection of drugs and a pass to visit the local prostitutes.
Your squad-mates are frequently nothing less than a pain in the arse too, either because they're always getting lost, or keep running into your line of fire.In between missions, you often get to stroll around your base camp where you can try out new weapons, chat to soldiers to progress the story, and purchase contraband. We'll need a more thorough playtest to see whether the gameplay lives up to the vibe. With its unflinching approach to warfare, developer Guerilla is clearly hell-bent on making ShellShock the Platoon of the current crop of Vietnam shooters. A very cinematic game, it has 12 hour-long missions containing striking images and a storyline that encompasses mythical all-powerful NVA generals, a spy in the camp and a revered Special Forces hero who dies in suspicious circumstances. You fight in squads, though you won't be able to give orders, and you visit all of the expected Vietnamese locales, from paddy-field and tunnel network to wreckage-strewn city.Despite being a little cynical when first presented with ShellShock. Expect to see atrocities committed by your squad, heads on spikes, gruesome NVA traps and some of the most disturbing images we've seen in a shooter for many a year.Viewed from a third-person perspective, ShellShock sticks you in the fatigues of a basic grunt trying to survive his tour of duty -whose successes see him rising through the ranks and into the Special Forces and the top secret Black Ops.
