Waste of Time

User Rating: 2 | ShellShock 2: Blood Trails PC
The only reason I have given this game a 2.0 rating is because of the look and detail. The eeriness is good and it has a few good scares, the scenery detail is quite realistic (similar to the details in Call of Duty 4), the difficulty is good even on the easy settings... but.

Although this game has a good look to it... the gameplay is very sluggish. The mouse is very unresponsive and has at least a 200ms window between mouse movement and actual gameplay movement, which makes it almost impossible to play correctly even on the highest sensitivity settings. Also, when running, the screen bounces up and down at a very annoying rate and gave me a headache. And the worst of all, in certain situations, they have resorted to using a "Simon Says" type of key sequencing that you must press in the correct order to survive. Is this game for adults or kids... ("Simon Says" follow the colors and sounds" crap). This is the main reason I stopped playing "Indigo Prophecy".

This game is no where near what I was expecting!

My system (P4 CPU, 3G RAM, and an nvidia 8600GT card, running on XP SP3) can run Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Condemned: Criminal Origins, and many other high end games so there is absolutely NO reason why it shouldn't run this one flawlessly.

In my honest opinion, this game is a waste of time and money.
