This game is a game about war and how war can change a person,and how a person can go beyond his limits to achive a goal without caring about the methods.

The game is some sort of Gears of War, you have to advance shooting everyone and using everything to cover you of the enemy fire.
During a lot of time you have some companions that help you in the mission, and you can order to shoot and kill some speceific enemies in an easy way.
IA is not excellent but is quite good and two or three combats are a little bit challenging. The game have a wide variety of levels of difficult so you can adjust it depending of your skills.

The best of the game is its story, it began as a rescue mission in a distopical Dubai, and becomes in a personal revenge as events unfold. The game in some points put you in some sort of situations, moral and ethical, to show you how can change a person depending the enviroment, the risk or his survival options. This decissions are used at the end to explain the conclusion of your journey.

Just on comment here, I remember the tons and tons of pages written about the airport mission of Call of Duty where you could kill a lot of civilians... maybe it was an AAA game, maybe Activision is more mediatic that Missing Link or I could assume that all that people didn't play Spec Ops, but I think the choices you take in this game are more bloody and brutal and of course, there are a lot of civilians involved too no pages written.

The game is 10 years old, so graphically, it feel the weight of years but they are quite good, and in my opinion light effects and climatolgical events like sand storms are the best of them.

Sound is very good too, I played using headphones and I had the feeling to combat there, all weapons, explosions and dialogues between your teams members or between enemies are very very realistic.
The voice acting is excellent and music marvellous. The electric guitar playing the USA hymn in the same way Jimi Hendrix played in Woodstock 1969, while a torn flag flies in a crimsom sky let me the feelling that something was breaking inside the squad.

When I finished the game it came to my mind the song "War". I listened "War" for first time in Springsteen's Live 75-85 CD and I was atonished by its powerful sound and message. The song was written by The Temptations and Edwin Starr sang it in 70's against Vietnam War.

Lyrics fits very well in this game, so let me finish this review, writing some part of them below:

"War...I despise......It means destruction to innocent lives
War means tears...To thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight.....And lose their lives

War, huh, yeah........What is it good for?......Nothing
War, huh (whoa, whoa whoa Lord) ...What is it good for? ..(Alright) Nothing

War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker......The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest... In the younger generation
Who wants to die?"

Great game, highly recommended
