All about the story.

Spec Ops The Line is 2 games in one. One is a mediocre, slapped-on mode where people connect online and waste some time. I will not rate it here.
The other is a well-written and well-executed single player experience that you will remember for quite a long time. It borrows heavily from great literature (Heart of Darkness) but manages to translate its power into an interactive medium.
Gameplay is fairly standard and nothing here tries to reinvent a 3rd person cover shooter. But you should play this game for the story, not for how well your character runs into cover (runs well enough).
