Reception
Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "for those with the determination and patience, Shellshock has its rewards." Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Combine the simplistic but entertaining gameplay with 25 extremely challenging levels and there is plenty here for the gamer who doesn't mind foregoing a little realism for fun." Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "on the pure action level, this might whet some appetites. It's not a hit, but it might be enough to entertain you as long as it's purchased in the ever-helpful bargain bin." Mark Clarkson from Computer Gaming World gave the game 3 stars out 5, saying while "Shellshock doesn't set any new standards, it is fun and loud. Your M-13 rips through chain-link fences and snaps street lights like twigs, all while thumping music blares in the background. And best of all, in a LAN-based multiplayer game you can hurl both shells and taunts a your real-life homies."
