Spec Ops: The Line

[DarthBindo]

The trailer looks like something trying to be badass but comes across as incredibly cheesy and cliche. Am I wrong?

It's neither cheesy nor cliche, that much I can promise you.
And the game is definitely not trying to be badass.

That about sums up the game.
It's praised for it's engaging story, but the actual gameplay is dull and boring. Simply another cover based shooter done in Unreal 3.

The point of a story within a game is to give a reason for the player to continue playing, but Spec Ops' gameplay is so mundane and recycled that it's simply not worth it.

I'v never actually played a cover based shooter done in unreal 3, so I found the gameplay rather exciting and different from the standard COD and MOH formulas I'm used to expecting in a shooter.
I loved running around with the M99 and the Desert Eagle towards the end of the game, dropping headshot after headshot.
