I have the game, bought it from Germany last November. If you liked SH2, you may like Shells of Fury as well, though it's inferior to it. By today's standards, it's dated, ugly and terribly boring. Missions are repetitive, AI is obviously scripted, ships behave the same every time you load the same mission, its a play-once-and-you're-done-with-it game.
And if you have a radeon card of the 1xxx generation, it won't load. Period. Check here for the explanation:

I paid some 27 euros for it and it certainly wasn't worth the sum. Maybe some 10-15 euros, perhaps.
Graphics are plain ugly and nobody gave a thought at optimising them, 'cause the game performs poorer than SH3 on my NVidia 7900GS, while looking terribly old.
There's only a few missions in it, no replay value, ugly graphics - this is my brief, first-hand, overview about it.
Anyone interested can find other accounts about it here, on subsim, by searching some older posts.
