And why was I so impressed? Like the conflict that so thoroughly wrecks Capt. Martin Walker and his men, you have to live it to fully appreciate it, but Yager and 2K should be commended for having the guts to put The Line out there. Is this a perfect example of how to take down the genre’s tyrants? No way. But now that I’ve ventured into the heart of this dark, death-laden shooter, I’ve seen things… Did things that made me realize that even though Spec Ops: The Line isn’t the best looking or the most refined entry in this tired-ass genre, it’s a far cry from some pandering, antiestablishment soapbox that’s pissing in Call of Duty’s Corn Flakes for the sake of doing something different. It’s a genuine, moving experience that has something to say and actually succeeds at saying it, and in that sense, it’s won a major battle for the worn-out, war-weary masses—whether they know it yet or not.

It’s a campaign that merits multiple playthroughs, and a story as strong and daring as those of Bioshock, Shadow of the Colossus and Dead Space 2. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that it achieves this in spite of mechanics that are noticeably dated and bereft of innovation. For that reason, the game is best taken as a whole, and not as something that can be played simply on the strength of its mechanical composition.

Despite the overwhelming positives, there was one consistent issue throughout Spec Op’s campaign – the spikes in difficulty. Walker can’t take much in terms of damage, yet there are times when you face an almost ridiculous amount of enemies. My personal best (or worst) is being gunned down within four seconds of reloading a checkpoint. Towards the end these spikes became far more frequent, unfortunately turning it into a bit of a trudge, rather than the exciting battle it should have been.

The generic enemies don't provide much excitement either (aside from the discomfort of being asked to shoot American soldiers). They all have expected designations, with a large percentage of rifle wielders, the occasional goon with a shotgun, some snipers at expected waypoints, and even a couple kamikaze skinheads with military knives.
