For the money, you will not find a better game around. Lots of action. I was told to take a chance on this and now I'm telling you to do the same. There are a few bugs but you learn to work around them. Great sound. The major drawback is you can't save a game. The game saves after you complete a level. This can be very frustrating but it's also a rush when you make it. One last thing, this game will take you hours to complete. For me, that's a good thing.

Shadow Ops is nothing but a plain FPS. If anything, if is much like the formulaic action movies that plagued the 80s and early 90s.

The plot is, as with the rest of the game, stock action-movie filler. You are some superbadass soldier. There is a nefarious villain with a nuclear device, You jet around the world, performing missions in the jungle, the snow, war-torn buildings, a train and the Eiffel tower.

The enemy AI is pretty weak and it is not much difficult to kill them. Just shoot them in the foot, arms or torso, there is no difference. The tempo of the game is quite good however. I did not feel like there was dull moments maybe because I breezed through the game in 5 hours.

There are better games and there are worse games.
