"Old" License Unreal Engine maxed of perfectionists.

at major game companies, the coal is at the center. It is a budget set - if it is exhausted, is tough releast - despite deficiencies, poor coordination, lack of tests. The whole is then a carelessly executed clapping game that is foisted by marketing the open-hearted gamer and makes for great disappointment and 1-star reviews. The resulting from the specifications of bad mood of game artists then reflected back in the game.

That's when "Spec Ops - The Line" is definitely not the case.

Even if only one Unreal Engine has licensed as technical graphics engine

and consequently graphically no longer is up to date (2012), you have to say - they wanted to make a very good game, and have therefore all rausgeholt: the graphics are gone Unreal overly full to the limit, the license to use investment. It is no longer time to make as a small company now nowadays, to produce its own engine, which can compete with the popular - and then lay still value on content.

Despite the negative points:

- Extremely scripted action,
- Very limited march through the campaign
- Graphics technically out of date

weigh the positive points the entire total on and it remains the impression of a really good game, where you can tell the developers were serious ... they have really brought out from the realities everything is reflected in the atmosphere and gameplay.

Positives:

- Elaborate and surprising plot
- You can feel the finishing touches everywhere
- Cinematic sequences with very good camera work
- Good music
- Incredible scenery, remarkable artwork in Modelling

Storing only at checkpoints I was initially stupid - on the other hand it has become clear to me that this "dying - and immediately continue playing at the same place" is basically only one measure, the game to shorten as much as possible so that the next will buy.

Although it is also a console game, the PC-implementation is not Konsolenkost. Since I entirely different console executed clapped-PC versions known where one comes the cold horror, because it is so bad (see Resident Evil- Racoon City)

Conclusion:

This game is worth the money. Compared to all the past disappointments you realize finally again that the developers really wanted to do something good - and because it is so rare, you should clean it dressed.

Have fun with it.
