Eidos Interactive announced the release of their new horror war game Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, based in Vietnam. A sequel to 2004’s Shellshock: Nam ’67, Blood Trails offers you a war completely different from any other. This scary first person shooter war title is apparently said be banned in Australia as their highest rating there is for 15 year-olds and the game doesn’t satisfy these requirements.
During the Vietnam War a covert ops cargo plane goes down in the heart of a hellish Vietnam jungle. The Special Ops personnel sent in to retrieve the highly classified cargo start mysteriously disappearing one-by-one. A month later, one of the Special Ops guys staggers out of the jungle, dazed and incoherent in a deranged mental state. Something has consumed his soul, something has let him live and followed him out.
“Shellshock 2: Blood Trails takes players to a Vietnam War unlike any they will have experienced before. This is a war where your enemy doesn’t just want you dead… it wants to rip you to pieces,” exclaimed Lee Singleton, General Manager of Eidos Games Studios. “As the infected turn one-by-one, your instinct to fight becomes an instinct for flight, to leave the real horror of this war far behind.”
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails will be released on February 24, 2009 in the US and on March 31, 2009 in the UK and Australia. Shellshock 2 is available for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 and is estimated to be about 59.99 USD (approx. Rs. 2,940).
