I love military games and im a fan of the Spec Ops series on the PC. I picked it up and looked at it, then I turned it to the front and saw the price. ... I figured it would suck so I picked it up and played it. That game just took me to school. I figured it would be a 007 game and you would be able to kill an army with a man, boy I was wrong I walked up to a guard and bam! I was dead. So this game is hard and if you like the series it's definately worth grabbing.

A Challenging Simulator

Take 2 Interactive is a solid company with a list of quality games.... I have most of them and the best is Spec Ops. At first I was a bit put off by the difficulty of the game, but with practice and a little experimentation this has become one of my top ten favorites. One thing to keep in mind is th[e price], so it's not going to be the greatest game ever. As far as realism, playability, and replay value go, it's a top notch simulator. The enemy AI is excellent and weapons selection is superb. The battle environments are interactive and big, which is good for those of you who like to explore. For those of you having trouble, you have to play around with team member weapons combinations for each mission until you find something that works for you. If in doubt, go for two M60s and mow everything down! I personally like to use a sniper/ heavy gunner combo. Yes, this game is difficult, but that means you won't finish it in 8 hours like too many games out there. This is an excellent purchase, I would buy any game from Take 2.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE GAME BY A LONG SHOT, PURE FUN.

I AM A HUGE FAN OF CLANDESTINE OP TYPE GAMES (METAL GEAR SOLID, SYPHON FILTER 1&2, CHASE THE EXPRESS [OR COVERT OPS: NUCLEAR DAWN IN THE STATES]ALSO A GOOD BUY) AND THIS ONE MADE ME DOUBTFUL ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE LOW PRICE. I WAS THINKING THAT THIS WAS ANOTHER RAINBOW SIX CLONE,YOU KNOW GOOD ON PAPER BUT BUT TERRIBLE ON THE PLAYSTATION. BUT, WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE 3RD PERSON MODE AND START TO SCOUT THE TERRAIN WITH NVG'S AND SWITCH 1ST PERSON VIEW TO SNIPE ENEMIES WITH THE SILENCED MP5, BELIEVE ME COMING FROM A SERVICE MEMBER THAT'S BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT ITS VERY CLOSE TO THE REAL THING. THE FEEL, JUST YOU AND YOUR BUDDY, MANY KLICKS BEHIND THE LINES, YOU MAKE THE CALL! CAN YOU HACK IT? SPEND THE CASH AND FIND OUT!

SPEC OPS IS A TOTALY, EXTREMELY COOL GAME. IT ALSO HAS WAY BETTER GRAPHICS THEN THE OTHER GUN GAMES I HAVE PLAYED NAMELY DIE HARD TRILOGY 2, SYPHON FILTER 2,ETC. I HAVE ALSO RECOMENDED THIS GAME TO A COUPLE OF FRIENDS OF MINE AND WHEN WE ALL GO TO AUSTRALIA THEY ARE GONNA GET IT. I THINK THIS GAME IS THE BEST AND YOU SHOULD GET SPEC OPS IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO.

Best value for money available

I am a ps2 user, but bought this gem back when I had a ps1. The game is exceptionally hard in one player mode as you have two charcters who you have to toggle between. The game is both strategic and action oriented. You can blast the enemy with your machine gunner or use the sniper to pick them off from a distance. The game takes some effort to learn, but is well worth it. One of the nice features on two player is that if your partner dies, the screen becomes full-screen for the remaining player. GREAT GAME FOR ONE OR TWO PLAYERS!

TOUGH, TOUGH, TOUGH!

O.K., here's the thing. I look over and I see this game. I see the price and I think, "It might suck, but for the money, it's worth the gamble." I get home, play the thing and realize that I have made a wise investment. The style of play is similar to that of Syphon Filter and Metal Gear Solid, but the overall game experience is like no other. This one makes you use your head a little. You can't just bust in John Wayne style and open the can of whoop-ass. No, you gotta be pretty sneaky. You gotta see the enemy before he sees you. Great game, great price! And that's the bottom line!

This game kicks some serious butt!

I bought this game last week and thought that it would either suck or or be decent, there was no way in hell I would have thought that this game would be so great! I love the sniper rifles and it's just so great that you have so many guns and weapons to choose from. But be warned it is a HARD game, I mean the krauts in this game are smart! But also the enviornments in this game are so cool I definitley recommend this game as well as Medal of Honor

Amazing,truly amazing

This game isn't just one of those games you beat in two days.This is a game that shows what is must be like to be a real marine.It has sweet graphics which I would rate 9/10. It has 10/10 control.Awesome backround music and sounds. However,it is very,very,very hard.It takes at least a whole day to beat the first level.I suggest going to a code site and getting codes to this game.Like try Gamesages.com.Overall this game scores a large 9/10.I would buy this game if you like different challenges.

For (this price)!

It's a pretty good game, (for the price). Iwas in the infantry and it brings back good old memories. Plus the game is hard so you can not win so easily. I own medal of honor and it took me about 3 days to beat, and I hardly replay it. I still haven't beaten spec ops, and I always replay it over and over. The enemy has not yet acted the same way as in other games. If you want a good game that will last you for awhile, this is worth it.
