Crossing the Line might be a more accurate title 🤯!

Crossing the Line might be a more accurate title 🤯!
One of the Ballsiest Games I’ve Played! If you have Questioned your FPS aficionado Status then Spec Ops the line is to it’s credit! A High Ranking Soldier apparently has been wrecking havoc in Dubai and our GI Joe wannabe is tasked to stop him! And to say things get Complicated might be Understating! Between Using White Phosphorus and other Questionable methods of Warfare, if you are Scarred for life by a game like this then it’s understandable!

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome departure from the industry standard...

After pre-ordering Spec Ops: The Line it finally arrived 4 days ago (much later than most got ahold of it, of course, due to my current country of residence and the slow nature of delivery to small FOBs in Afghanistan). I had read all the early reviews and the consensus seemed to be the following:

The game is relatively short (some say 4 hours, other around 8)

The story is fantastic...albeit dark

The action is solid and fast-paced, if only flawed

I can tell you that the game (on the hardest difficulty) ran a solid 8 hours for me with only a few areas slowing me down due to multiple deaths by either myself or one of my partners.

The action was pretty good, but like others had said was flawed. The enemy AI made things easier than it had to be, but perhaps that was necessary. Had the AI been too advanced, finishing this game would have been quite the task...the Dark Souls of Third-Person Shooters. Only because some enemies decided to linger out in the open were certain areas passable. Your character can't take all that much damage, so truly clever AI enemies would have cut the average gamer down left and right. However, overall the failings of the AI didn't hurt the experience for me. This game is about the story.

From the first steps of this adventure to the last, you have no idea where your foray into Dubai is headed. You will question who the enemy is many times, and it won't be until the very unique ending that you know for sure. The revelation will be quite...thought-provoking to say the least.

The moral dilemmas you face in this game are brilliantly devised. This isn't an RPG where the good and bad choices are laid out for you labeled as such. Sometimes you don't even know that you are facing a dilemma right off the bat. The way they all fold into the story, and the way you will at times ponder the choice you made, is woven subtly into the fabric of the story and gameplay. Spec Ops: The Line will have you questioning your own morality, how you would have truly reacted in a given situation by the end of the game. It has a way of tapping into your emotions to illicit a natural response based on a situation or obstacle. No game I have played before has done this as effectively, though many have tried.

By now you know the premise, you know the setting, and you know the basic faults with the gameplay elements, but they are all irrelevant. This game deserves 8 hours of your time for at least one playthrough so you can be fortunate enough to experience one of the better stories any game has ever had to offer. You will not be bored with this game because the action is constant, the pacing appropriate, and there is enough variety in locations and gameplay elements to keep the action fresh, all the while the story drives on to the rhythym of a symphony of chaos that you cannot help but participate in. Even when you know you've made a terrible mistake, you have no choice but to move forward in hopes that the end justifies the means. Machiavelli would have loved this game.

I loved Binary Domain and enjoyed its story, but Spec Ops: The Line gets my award for the best Third Person Shooter of 2012...and it is certainly worthy of standing alongside the Gears series...but such a comparison is unnecessary because The Line stands on its own just fine.

Do yourself a favor and pick this one up (even after a price drop) and you will be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breath of fresh air
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2013

At first I was hesitant to buy this game after reading the reviews. The concept seemed fun but the gameplay sounded difficult and hard to learn. However after buying and nearly completing the game in 8 hrs last night on suicide difficulty, ive got to say this game is a beautiful breath of freah air from the overly hyped Call Of Duty series. The only way I can describe it is like a modern warfare version of Gears of War, only in the sense that thats how the controls are set up. B is melee, u can press A for cover, reload with X, swap weapons, so if youve ever played Gears of War then you get what I mean. This was never stated in any review ive read and was kind of a surprise, but thankfully I love Gears so it didnt bother me.(Edit: just realized there are a bunch of reviews saying its like Gears, I dont know how I didnt see those before.
As for the story line, it follows a Delta squad that has been sent to Dubia to help with the evacuation of the city, however the city has been captured by a rogue unit of soldiers and you are constantly fighting these individuals throughout the game. My favorite concept of this game though, is that you get to choose your path, as in there will be decisions that you will have to make that will test you morally, and either decision you choose will seem like a lose lose situation. I like this part of the game and is not like the CoD choose your own path where whatever choice you make doesnt affect the ending only who lives at the end, this game impacts your gaming and the choices also weigh on your soldiers, who begin to suffer fron PTSD as the game gets further and further.
All in all, its a great game that I believe was highly underrated and more people should play, I would and am recommending it to my friends, and think its worth a shot to check out, plus its only $28 so you cant beat that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy. This. Game. So worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

I first heard about this game from its 2010 teaser trailer or was 2011? Either way I've always been interested in this game and only until recently have been able to play it. I expected a new shooter would try to nock off call of duty and battlefield but I was quickly proven wrong. This game exceeded every expectation I had and blew me away. The story is the best I've played threw in a game in a long time. Moral choices and dilemmas that kept me guessing on what to do. At many points in the game I was at the edge of my seat wondering what to do next and what I should do. The story is compelling and moving, my only complaint with it was that it didn't show as much character development for your squad mates as you'd might of liked but what is presented was enough to care about them a lot. The gameplay was very enjoyable. It's a cover shooter that takes elements similar to the gears of war series and makes it it's own. It's fun and fairly challenging at certain points. I'm used to running and gunning but at points I had to come up with strategies to get by a level. The game also sounds wonderful I loved the music that would play from radios in the mist of combat and loved the sound of the desert storms, it really made me feel like I was in the middle of a sandstorm. Multiplayer however seems dead, to be fair I got on for the first time at 11:30pm pacific time but was immediately set to host and saw no one join after 5 minutes. A shame though since the multiplayer seems pretty well built to customize and support a community. In all I'd definitely recommend you buy this game it is very much worth a try for anyone looking for a great story and a fun challenging game.
