Review: Spec Ops The Line

Hey everyone it's DeathStrike and I'll be giving my review and opinion on the 3rd person shooter, Spec Ops The Line. This Game is made by 2K Games and is based in war-torn wasteland of Dubai, Dubai has beeen torn by vicious sandstorms and then a mini civil-war when a battalion came in and tried to rescue survivors and ended up turning on themselves.

You are a soldier sent in when your 3 man crew to locate and determine what happened to the battalion, what you find is shocking...

Story:

I think the story has an interesting twist from your normal shooter games. Your objective is constantly changing as you try to determine whose side you're on, you are also faced with several choices throughout the game that determine who you will fight for.

Story: 9/10

Graphics:

The graphics for this game were done really well, you can really see the torn and broken Dubai landscape and it looks fantastic (not in a sadistic way) the lighting is also really well done.

Graphics : 8/10

Gameplay:

You have standard WASD controls in this game. I think the cover mechanism in this game is also done really well you can have blind fire or risk being shot by coming out of cover, there is quick change between close cover positions and if you are being suppressed you can slide into cover. One annoying, though realistic, aspect of this game is ammo, you never have enough ammo... ever! But I suppose in war torn Dubai ammo is scarce, so make sure to stock up at every opportunity.

Gameplay : 8/10

User-Friendliness:

User-friendliness is pretty good in this game, no confusing menus or anything the one thing that took me some getting used to was the 3rd person, I'm not a big 3rd person player, so playing from that view was slightly strange but manageable none the less.

User-Friendliness: 8/10

Misc

There are a few extra things that really make this game worth playing, just like being able to shoot out a glass window and drown your enemies in sand, its just the little things 

Misc: 8/10

The Verdict:

Overall I think its a great game, if you can get over the 3rd person and start playing its really enjoyable and quite an interesting story I encourage any shooter enthusiast to give it a shot (pun intended)

I give this game 87%
