Spec Ops: The Line Review

By Daniel Bischoff

Heart of Darkness meets Call of Duty.



In high school, I read Joseph Conrad's long trek up the river and hated every second of it. I thought to myself "Why do they make us read this? What's the point?"

It's odd that I echoed those same sentiments in the first two-thirds of Spec Ops: The Line,…

  • Conrad inspiring Konrad
  • Strong narrative
  • Multiple endings
  • Choice? In war?
  • Difficulty spikes
  • Monotonous environments
  • Late-game visuals and set pieces
  • Little bits of absurdity
  • Competent mechanics and multiplayer

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
