SPEC OPS THE LINE MOVIE MOVIE

One thing I found really interesting was the fine line this game walked in regards to its genre. But Spec Ops was simple, stupid, and lent more to the progression of the cinematic experience rather than provide a unique gameplay experience. There are games out there that have much richer narratives than this one, but the gameplay is just garbage, making it almost impossible for me to progress. I've seen it done better and smoothly since. The team command system is pretty clunky as well as the cover and firing system.

As much as I love that sandbox feel, I do think the incredible amount of those games has saturated the desire for it and it was refreshing to have a game that felt more like a movie rather than a session with action figures in a sandbox. Every game seems to be open world and open ended. Now it was a little refreshing playing a linear narrative game. You travel on a linear line through the story, picking up random weapons to fight hoards of bad guys with little variation. Off the bat, I'll say the gameplay for this game is fun, but repetitive and generic. So I'm only speaking to what I enjoyed or didn't enjoy and more about the narrative this game presents. This is a game that came out in 2012, we've had 6 years for graphics to improve so yeah, they're going to look like crap in comparison. I will mention the experience that I had, but I am not one to say the game play was great or horrible because the reality is, like movies, video games are subjective and some people may dig this gameplay more than they would playing tetris while others would say they had a lot more fun playing tetris than this game. In case you haven't read my previous video game reviews, you'll know that I focus a lot more on the plot and story of the video games rather than the actual gameplay.

What followed was a game that has made me think a lot more than I originally thought I would, and one that warrants a written review, something I rarely do for video games. However, I had heard that the game is a little more unique than it seems and was actually a sleeper cult classic when it was released in 2012. So I'll be honest, I downloaded this game because I wanted something to play while I was waiting for Red Dead Redemption 2 to download.
