Shellshock is a Commando-esque action game that requires you to collect four parts of a schematic diagram, which you receive at the end of each level. The game itself isn't very good to be honest; it's very hard, and the graphics are quite messy. The backgrounds look like an explosion in a paint factory, which hurts your eyes playing. It's all a bit chaotic...

Just two more to get rid of...

...and they're gone!

The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:

• Neil: Using an infinite lives cheat and level skipper.
   
• Vinny: I completed it two ways... using a trainer to skip to left three and then play through to the end with infinite lives; I also hacked the ending, which can be unlocked by freezing the game with an Action Replay Cart, and jumping to memory location: $0D9A (G 0D9A).

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: At the end of level four you get the final part of the diagram. You get to see a picture of the complete schematic with the words 'WELL DONE' written above it. A message at the bottom tells you that you have retrieved all the stolen pieces and that your mission has been a complete success. The game then ends.

• Andrew Fisher: I always felt it was alright as a cover tape game but not something I would have paid £3.99 for.
  
  It was obvious this was how it would end, so I'm not shocked.

• Gaz Spence: Not bad for 5 minutes blast although I expect the game didn't take much longer to code. The ending brings some closure and is a little more than a line of text but only just.

FINAL SAY: Better than the usual ending to such games. This one has a schematic! What more do you want!

G.E. RATING: 2 / 10
