ShellShock: Nam ‘67 takes you on one man's journey through a rookie's first tour of duty in one of the most atrocious conflicts of the 20th century, The Vietnam War. ShellShock goes where the GI's had to, but no game has dared to before.

Experience the shocking realities and tragedies of what actually happened out in the jungle, from napalm strikes of civilian villages and gruesome VC booby traps to the permanent threat of invisible enemies and deadly ambushes. This is a war game about the unbelievable fear, chaos and anguish of Vietnam. If you make the grade you just might survive.

Features: * Gritty Content & Portraying the brutal atrocities and controversial actions of the Vietnam War, ShellShock: Nam '67 provides gamers with the most true-to-life, uncensored depiction of the Vietnam experience for the first time in a video game. * Intense Combat - Fight your way through a variety of missions ranging from large-scale battlefield encounters with the NVA to stealth-based missions. * Unconventional Warfare & From napalm attacks, intricate tunnel systems and deadly booby traps to fighting militiawomen. * Character Growth & Develop from a fresh-faced rookie to a hard-edged Special Forces agent. * Realistic Injury & Soldiers don't simply live or die. A struggling, wounded or bleeding fighter will still attempt to take down their enemy. * Diverse Environments & From dense lush jungles and rural villages to claustrophobic tunnels and waterlogged paddy fields, Vietnam's contrast-ridden environments are dangerous hunting grounds littered with booby traps and secret VC hiding places. * Numerous Weapons & You will have full access not only to a range of US weaponry, but can also use the VC and NVA's own weapons against them. * Interactive Base Camp - Socialize and interact with the platoon. Develop relationships with different soldiers, find out information on forthcoming missions, test weapons on the firing range or just kick back and listen to the DJ.

Shellshock takes you back to the years of the Vietnam war. You take on the role of a rookie soldier on his first tour of duty. Using a third-person perspective, you experience napalm bombardments of civilian villages, sneaky night missions along the river banks, claustrophobic tunnel systems and huge battles in temples and open fields. Most missions are played as a team, but your team members cannot die and do not influence the mission objectives. You will have to assassinate enemy generals, take out crucial boats and guide your team through unknown territory.

The game does not have drivable vehicles, multiplayer options or extensive environmental interaction, but it features a particular system of dismantling the many bombs and traps: in a race against time, you have to perform a long key sequence in the correct order to clear the path. The atrocities on both sides are clearly shown in the cutscenes, filmed as through a shaky hand-camera. Either side is not afraid to abuse civilians for their cause and this sense of realism gives the game a rather raw edge. You can even purchase the services of hookers in the base camp.
