I have up-most respect for CoD and absolutely love it, but this game gave me a satisfaction that CoD probably never will. I didn't expect much from this when I started playing, being the first in series and practically "no name" game. But the story, the twist... Even some options you get while playing that determines what's coming next, it completely dragged me in. I couldn't stop playing. A game showing you that war is not a cool thing, showing all the bad sides of war, right or wrong choices, simply AMAZING! As it says in headline, by my opinion, this is the best war game out there right now. Far ahead of CoD and I sure do hope to see alot of games like this.
About some technicality, graphics are very well made, altough there's a space for slight improvement. Weapon and environment sound are excellent, speech too, with the small details like echo. Storyline is absolutely amazing, just like the characters. Gore level is absolutely on the high here, but that's a part that makes it really special and fun.
To summarize, an excellent game which gave me excitement with every minute spent playing it. Number of missions, or hours spent playing is just right. Not too long or too short. Spec Ops The Line is a perfect example on how to make an excellent game.
