Shellshock: Nam '67 is a third-person shooter developed by Guerrilla Games and released in 2004 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC. The game places the player in the role of a rookie soldier undertaking his first tour of duty during the Vietnam War, a conflict the title treats with unusual directness for the genre. Rather than presenting a sanitized or heroic portrayal of combat, the game centers on the psychological and physical ordeals of one individual, depicting the fear, disorder, and atrocities that characterized the war. The focus is on a single soldier's personal experience as he navigates a series of engagements throughout the conflict, emphasizing the chaos and moral weight of one of the most controversial wars of the twentieth century.
