About this product
Product Information
- Elite counter-terrorism agents lead the way into a modern-military heart of darkness as the gritty Spec Ops series returns to action in 2012. In the unflinching style of its PC predecessors, The Line challenges players to accomplish missions through third-person squad tactics; surveillance, stealth, and bloody firefights. The narrative poses challenges, as well, in a progression of desperate circumstances and lose-lose moral dilemmas. Battles take place in an abandoned desert city, where players' efforts are complicated by sand that covers buildings and blows through the streets.
For opulent Dubai, the apocalypse is now, as massive windstorms have buried the city beneath millions of tons of sand. With the assistance of the U.S. Army, most of the metropolis was successfully evacuated, but Colonel John Konrad remained behind with his squad. Konrad's unit has now been isolated by the sandstorms and is feared lost. The players' objective is to find the missing soldiers and -- if possible -- bring them back home. The sand-filled city poses unusual dangers, but also opportunities for special operatives who can hide in the obscuring winds or smother enemies beneath a triggered avalanche.
Customers who pre-order Spec Ops: The Line will have their game upgraded to a premium edition at no extra cost. The premium edition includes the "Fubar Pack," which features bonus multiplayer content: double experience during the first week of online play, AK-47 unlock at rank one, officer class unlock at rank one, and exclusive accessories for character customization.

Great example of a story driven game that leaves a lasting impression
As long as I have been playing video games, I have thought I have seen it all and I am not usually disturbed or affected by a game. But there are some games that for some reason reach into the dark nether regions of the soul. Games like the original Splatterhouse series, Silent Hill, and Dead Space are a few that come to mind messed with my head. Those games though deal with supernatural themes, Spec Ops the Line deals with very real themes that anyone could realistically face and to me, that makes it even more effective. Spec Ops is a great looking game. I felt the developers did a great job simulating what a large metropolitan area would end up like if an endless wave of sand storms ravaged the area. It is definitely one of the better looking apocalyptic worlds I have played in recent memory. The music is on the sparse side, but only plays at appropriate times instead of buzzing constantly in the background. The gunfire, explosions, and the enemy chatter are all done very well. The voice acting is top notch. The voice actor from the Uncharted series voices the main character. As always, he does a great job as well as the rest of the cast. Game play is also good, but there are some weaknesses. As someone mentioned before, the cover system isn’t the best. It is similar to Gears of War, but with a few differences that cost me my life on more than one occasion. You can run towards and slide into cover, but you had to use a different button to leap over or switch cover. Because Gears of War uses one button for this, I would hit the wrong button and find myself standing like a sore thumb in the middle of a firefight. Spec Ops is on the short end with the campaign. I beat the game twice in 3 days, first on normal and then on the second hardest difficulty. Playing on the hardest difficulty will prolong the game, but that is because you are getting killed often and it takes about 10-15 seconds for the game to reload the checkpoint. After playing Spec Ops once, I wanted to go back and play again, but there was a part of me that didn’t want to experience it again. Not because the game sucks, but because I was disturbed. Spec Ops is a game where no matter how good your intentions are and what you do, you can’t really win. It has been awhile since I played a game that stuck with me like that.Read full review

Good Game, Awesome story line, worth the play! :-)
Game is not bad, like all other reviews i have read, the story is the best part of the game by far!! ...it is probably one of the best stories in any game i have played before, usually i am trying to find the skip button during the little story parts, but in this game i surprisingly was interested in what was going on and what was going to happen next! ...really the only complaint i have about the game is the cover system! it is HORRIBLE to be honest! Being a third person shooter you have to hit a button to take cover just like in Gears Of War. Many times i found myself trying to take cover but only standing in the line of fire! Gets very frustrating at times, especially if you play on hard difficulty because you die so fast! ...other then that the game is very fun and has AWESOME visuals! ...def worth the play!Read full review

I recently bought this item, and it works perfectly! This game is one of the main reasons I got a ps3, and I have been playing it all weekend. The game case is in pristine condition, and the disc has had no reading issues so far. The manual was also included (as advertised) and had no noticeable blemishes.

A great, cheap, story heavy game
A very good story based game. The thing is, the story will make you hate yourself as a human. You will hate yourself, and everyone who has ever lived, is currently living, or will live. For such a low price now, I would definitely recommend picking this game up. I originally purchased it because of a recommendation from a youtuber and was not disappointed. I recommend not looking up anything about this game though until after you have beaten it. You surely do not want to spoil this plot of this game.

Amazing Game!
TL:DR - Push through it and you'll find a great game. This is a incredible narrative masterpiece for gaming that gets mildly overlooked due to the era it came out in. The graphics aren't the best, but its so artistically stylized the graphics can be overlooked. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and probably my least favorite part of going through it, however it can be tied to the overarching story and almost excused.

Good enough
Its a good game if you like shooters. Does not live up to the hype. Story is too ambitious and the developer could not execute it properly. Gameplay wise it is good. Has small details that make it a nice game.
