As Dubai is hammered by sandstorms and all travel in and out of the city cut off, a message from Colonel John Konrad reaches military informing them the attempted evacuation has failed. Enter one Captain Martin Walker.

Mature and engaging story; wonderful setting; character development; soundtrack; aesthetic; replayability

Publisher forced multiplayer mode that was outsourced and disowned by main devs; most choices don't actually matter

Fun yet kinda disturbing game if you know the story it shows the decent into madness and how even the most noble and righteous man in combat can lose his sanity and do despicable things he thinks are right at the time .

For some reason this game made my xbox screen freeze, check other games no problem. Must be a defect in program or some thing .Called microsoft they could not fix the problem either so sent game back. but i will say this, played it on a friend's xbox really liked it when it works.

"Spec Ops: The Line" is the ninth game of the franchise dating back to PC, 98, and is produced by 2K Games, using the Unreal Engine 3.

This game review is underated by ign really, its and very good game, its hard to see shooter game that decide diffferent story choieces that made in game, but only once things is the environment of the game is not really nice, almost on desert, but this is simply my own prefeerence.

Slick; varied; intelligent shooter; A great setting; brilliantly realised; Intriguing Heart of Darkness retelling

Relentlessly; perhaps excessively; brutal; The story can't decide whether death is meaningful or meaningless; Multiplayer is solid but unspectacular
