About The Game
Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad is a military-themed action game, first released in 1998.

The highly praised scoring system from the previous game has been left intact, but the characters are all new. Furthermore, some major changes include, the ability to operate vehicles and choosing different routes only at important junctures in the game, making the play system even easier to manage and more intuitive.
