I Never Expected To Find Something Decent In This After Reading Several Hate Reviews, A Superb Shooter Adventure In Here
Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person shooter video game developed by Yager Development and published by 2K Games,
it was released on 26 June 2012 for PC, PS3 and Xbox360.
The game is set in Dubai-United Arab Emirates after a series of sandstorms, gamers take on the role of a Delta Operative called Martin Walker
on a mission to evacuate survivors,
then they come in contact with a group of hostile armed survivors, called the Insurgents, and thats what you'll be fighting for a while in the game,
I can't tell deeper in the story so I wont spoil it for you.
but its awesome and it keeps getting better towards the end, this is the first third person shooter game that goes deeply into the characters' personality.
the protagonist Martin Walker is a pretty strong protagonist that is good to control and doesn't make you wanna hate him, unlike some other game protagonists,
and he is voiced by Nolan North, the same guy that did the voice acting of Desmond Miles of Assassin's Creed, Nathan Drake of Uncharted and the
Prince Of Persia 4 guy.
your squadmates Adams and Lugo are pretty cool and the AI isn't stupid at all, like they never stand in your way, and when you're in cover they just get out of
your face, but giving them orders was weird, I'll get to that later in the difficulty section.
the only thing i hated was the civilians and survivors design, I live in Dubai and believe me they don't look the way they looked like in the game,
and their language? its not even close to Dubai's residents language.
in splinter cell the arabs had a real arabic voice acting, but this was not.
other than that everything was awesome, specially for example when characters go through a car or a plane crash they become injured and Walker's costume
gets ripped, and he bleeds.
if you watched or read negative reviews then either they don't care about characters and story or they didn't play the whole games because they are such a COD
fanboys.
The game plays from over-the shoulder camera view, most of the gameplay was taking cover and shooting enemies but it was really addicting,
and you don't have to always take cover like in other shooters.
the gameplay in this one was BEAST.
/////Difficulty\\
Easy mode was called walk on the beach, enemies drop like flies, really, at least for the first three quarters of the game, then it gets difficult.
normal mode was normal, at the last quarter of the game it got very challenging and difficult.
Hard mode was really hard and realistic against you, because enemies die harder and you die easier, easy was realistic because they die easily and that's really
how people die!
but in easy you never die, that was the unrealistic thing, i don't understand how the character heals in a few seconds by taking cover
but whatever,all new games are like that.
/////Sounds\\
the soundtracks were cool, it had metal music playing in the intense parts of the game, and music like Oasis in the twisted and shocking parts of the game.
the voice acting was amazing, specially the protagonist had voice acting that made you feel that he is strong enough to be a squad captain.
the voices of items and weapons were also great and realistic, also the sandstorms had awesome sounds which was a badass!!
/////Graphics\\
there was a glitch that all people had, at the begining of a cutscene, the graphics aren't detailed at all and it will stay like that for 3 seconds then get fixed,
I'm not the only one who had this problem, i've seen videos.
the graphics were great for a new game, and it was very detailed, you can see sweat on the characters' faces, trust me I know Dubai and the weather there is
very hot.
/////Keep Playing\\
It was a very exciting game, because it had great gameplay, at the begining of the game the story is not exiting and non clear,
but after you play the first quarter of the game it gets really exiting, you will fully understand the story at the ending.
/////Ending\\
the ending was one of the best things about the game!!, it was very very twisted, i loved it, believe it or not it was very shocking just like silent hill endings,
it had 4 endings, the 4 of them were awesome but some were more awesome than the others.
/////The Goods\\
Special Shocking Story That Is Great Compared To Other Shooters-Nice City Designs
/////The Bads\\
Giving Orders Was Useless And Complicated- Unrealistic Civilians
/////Ranks\\
Story: Great
Gameplay: Superb
Controls: Great
Sounds: Superb
Graphics: Great
Ending: Superb
Overall: Superb
/////Buy It?\\
yeah, if you like shooters buy it, it was awesome to me, i dont know why it was hated by other people, i guess it's opinions, but if you ask me i'd say you should really
try it out.
/////Conclusion\\
We would give the game 9 out of 10, because its an awesome game and had a very shocking ending so it really deserves this score.
But of course this is our honest opinion,if you Played the game please tell us what you think.
Thank you for watching, hope we helped you make your decision about this game, please stay tuned for more game reviews.
