Call of Duty meets Gears of War

It isn't anything revolutionary, but The Line offers a solid albeit flawed third person shooter. The shooting mechanics are some of the best I've seen in a third person shooter, but the weapons all feel very similar. The Line tries to mimic other Triple-A titles by offering some on the rails segments, but they are easily the weakest parts of the game. The lack of squad commands is disconcerning with the friendly A.I being just plain awful. It may seem as if I have more bad to say then good, but honestly this is a really solid game. The story is suberb, with an excellent twist at the end. The graphics and sound get the job done. Replay value is moderate due to the fact that throughout the game you can make some choices, and you may want to replay to see how something else played out. While not as polished as Gears of War, Spec Ops: The Line is still a solid game.
