Spec Ops: The Line

This game is so good that I can't think of a better 3rd person shooter! For a shooter, there is a very interesting plot with deep meaning (for example, the upside-down flag in the main menu was made for a reason). The music is simply magnificent (it was written by bands such as Deep Purple and The Black Angels), personally, it sounded in my head for a long time, and I’m also glad that it turns on on time. The partner bots are very smart: if you ask to kill a sniper or someone else, they kill you (very helpful on the last difficulty), they tell you where to shoot if they see the most dangerous enemy (sniper, juggernaut) or cracks with sand... Speaking of sand — it’s everywhere, there are scripted places in the game, when you shoot at them a wave of sand breaks out, sweeping away everything … Read full

The game is a third-person shooter, the plot takes place in Dubai, people whose faces are wrapped in rags have captured an American unit that went there for reconnaissance, and in the meantime we will fight for a brave soldier who has two partners, who by the way are real help. We set off to rescue the first group, and here a real massacre unfolds, throughout the game you are attacked by hundreds and hundreds of enemies, and a strong arsenal of machine guns, shotguns, pistols, as well as various types of grenades and a rocket launcher will help you fight them off. Since we are in the desert, let the sand help us, which, if we have the ingenuity, can be thrown at the enemy. Personally, I’ve only completed half of the game so far and I really like it, not only for the shooting but also for t… Read full

The game is quite ambiguous and contradictory. But due to the truly small number of good TPS on PC, it can still be recommended for completion.

Graphics: Since the game came out quite a long time ago, you won’t see much miracles here, but thanks to the good work of the designers and the rapid progression through the levels, you don’t pay much attention to it. Even in 2012 they knew how to draw special effects, and you don’t have to worry about the safety of your eyes.

Plot: In my opinion, this is the main advantage of the game. A very good plot for a shooter. It is presented in a non-intrusive and pleasant manner; there are additional materials, and even “unexpected turns” during the course of the story. There are even the now popular “moral conclusions”.

Gameplay: Here, unfortunately, the g… Read full

For some reason, the release of this game went unnoticed by many, and this is bad. The game has crooked gameplay, the player-enemy balance is poor, but there is simply a great plot. I won’t say anything special about him, only that a detachment of 4 people from the US Army is sent to search for missing soldiers in Dubai. The main character reveals himself with a bang. The game has several endings. Otherwise, it's just a run-and-gun shooter. This would have been the case if beautiful landscapes had not been painted to complement it all. For me, in terms of scenarios in shooters, the game is comparable to Black Ops 1.

This game simply amazes with its plot and its presentation. There is multiplayer here, it is also quite good, but if there had been popularity and fashion, it would still be alive.

But here's the sadness, despite:

• the quality of the graphics (and in those years it was just up to par, and even now it’s not bad);

• an excellent and exciting plot (here you really sit down and go through mission after mission until you realize that half a day has already passed);

• cool gameplay (especially cool with sand, not to mention tactics and team);

For some reason the game turned out to be a financial failure. Take into account the same as for Prototype 2.

I finished it a long time ago when it first came out, but then I used the pirated version. But recently, I accidentally came across it and decided to … Read full
