Customer Reviews
Completely took me by surprise By E. Anderson (Bella Vista, AR USA)
I bought this game on a whim because it was on sale and I'm a sucker for shooters. I was blown away by the quality of the storytelling. I've never played a shooter and been so captivated by the narrative. The game starts off with the typical "Hey we're a bunch of tough military guys on a mission" and ends up in the middle of an Apocalypse Now-esqe world that tears at your soul.
The cover based gameplay is great and keeps each fight unique and the mechanics fresh. My only major complaint is that there are better executed 3rd person shooter out there. On a few occasions I found myself cursing the character for standing up from cover when I really Really REALLY wanted him to stay down. Overall though, this is a solid shooter with an excellent story.
Best Game of this year By Bern
This game's story is like nothing that has come out in the past couple of years, for its genre. The game moves smoothly and the voice acting is great. The sound is as good as any shooter, but not as good as say Battlefield 3. A small problem I had is not being able to run SLI for this game. I hope Nvidia fixes that problem soon. Anyways, great game, get it and you wont regret it.
Unexpected Gem of A Game By L. P. Miller (Plymouth, MN USA)
To be honest, I'd give this game 4.5 stars. It's not perfect, and at 7 hours it's a bit short. But the narrative is very compelling - this isn't COD or Battlefield, where the action is the game and the glory is combat. This is about the realities of war, and what it does to the soldiers who fight it. This is the Apocalypse Now of video games.
It's unlike most video games, in fact I'd argue it's unique in it's genre, and deserving of success just for what it's trying to achieve. Some of the actual combat is pedestrian, and you literally mow down thousands of people - yet that too, serves the narrative.
GREAT Game!! Best Story line of any Military FPS By MrLee
Even tho it's a short game and the combat is nothing special, I am very glad I did buy it for the story line!!!
VERY GOOD!!!
one of the few I actually WANTED to finish! By A. Kling (USA)
Great game. It kept me into the game the whole time. I really love games that you WANT to finish because you are having so much fun. I usually dont review games but I figured this is a hidden gem as it wasn't over hyped like the other *cough* shooters.
Something unique By Cody A. Conway (Orange, TX)
It's hard to judge a game by its cover. Most people would try to compare this to modern warfare or battlefield 3, these games have their own standards in their own lights. But Spec Ops truly fits in a different class. The story mode is not the longest in the world, you should finish it pretty easy within 6-8 hours playing through it, the game is quite linier and there is not a lot of free roaming that one can do. But what it does have is a story, an epic story that keeps you locked in. It's rough, hard to watch, but keeps you wanting more of the game which is, in my thoughts, what makes a game great.
After playing through the story modes on Call of duty games, and even battlefield 3, I've felt that connection missing when you play as your character. This games gives it back to you, it makes you experience the game not just as a run and gun, but as someone who is partaking in a story in Dubai. For a new release title, this game is worth the deals price this month. Don't even think twice about picking it up especially if you're computer can handle the graphics output. The visuals are simply stunning. Play with a good set of headphones and you'll be locked in.
