A bit different to others in terms of Single Player Campaign
Graphics:
Nice and smooth. Desert is a good panorama for a shooter and it also makes it innovative VS other shooters out there. Amazing shadows, excellent buildings, it makes a nice scene out of the background.
Certain parts of the videogame show you some "artistic" moments (you'll understand when you play) and they are really nice. I guess the only way to feel more connected to it would be a longer campaign kinda Fallout or something like that. But for the length of this game I can say the atmosphere grows on you in terms of graphics.
Sound
I like the sound here, good explosions, bullet fire, screaming, etc. Its nothing innovative but at least it has a high quality. The music is good as well, they use it when it is needed.
Controls
Quite basic and easy to learn. The movement of the player is smooth and according to the keys you press. There are some moments when you are running and the character decides to take cover by itself or get out of cover, but it's not so annoying. The rest is ok.
Story
As others have said, the story is this game's hallmark. Different to others, with changing plots and good dialogue. For me it was a bit cheesy, but it didn't matter because it is nice to play a different drama. I read in a review that something nice about the game is its "evolution" as characters arrive to Dubai in a really good mood, making jokes and by the end of the game they are desperate, dirty, full of blood and a bit traumatized.
OVERALL
A good game. Good shooter in an innovative scenario with a innovative single player campaign story. Its like those movies that leave you thinking a lot and dumbly smiling whilst leaving the theater.
