BeefJack: ShellShock 2: Blood Trails Review

BeefJack writes: "Boy did I make a bad choice by renting this game. ShellShock 2: Blood Trails has started the race for the worst game of 2009 by unleashing zombies during the height of the Vietnam War. I remember renting the first ShellShock game for Gamecube way back in the day, and found that it was tastefully controversial as well as a good war game. ShellShock 2 is in no way a sequel to the first title as it introduces an entirely new plot in an entirely different genre."

Positives

* Good narration
* Good use of darkness and mood setting
* Features some colorful characters

Negatives

* No replay value
* Story concept is overboard
* Cheap thrills
* Does not match the first ShellShock game
* Graphical effects and too many GI clones
4.8 / 10
