    Shadow ops is an ok game but it could have been much better, like the saving game system. The story needs more structure and its really scripted.

    In the gaming World where First person shooter are in abundance, many people give a game a bad review because of just a few flaws. This can be the difference of it's Success or Failure. Shadow Ops:Red Mercury is your basic FPS Where you must Stop a Backpack Nuke from getting in the wrong hands and being used. Your Met with Fierce aggression and many perhaps too many enemies that pop In the gaming World where First person shooter are in abundance, many people give a game a bad review because of just a few flaws. This can be the difference of it's Success or Failure. Shadow Ops:Red Mercury is your basic FPS Where you must Stop a Backpack Nuke from getting in the wrong hands and being used. Your Met with Fierce aggression and many perhaps too many enemies that pop out of nowhere at times. But this games Cinematic feels keeps you immersed in the action ducking to find cover and figure out where the hostiles are. You Team does a good job of helping take out some of the Enemies but you feel out numbered 5-1 at times. Your firefights are immense with exploding drums and grenades making it feel your in the middle of a real mission. This is No Call of Duty, But the action is intense. With Details such as breakable and movable objects thrown in the Game Comes alive with action. With all these Postives there is one major drawback which is no Quick saves along the way. So if you die during a mission you must start that level over. This can get frustrating but makes you proceed with caution next time which brings me to another negative, the enemies spawn in exact same areas, so its not hard to know whats coming and from where next time you play the level. This is no Blood or gore such as in Far Cry Or Doom3 But a pretty immersive FPS That will entertain the casual player for hours .… Expand

    I wanted to enjoy the game especially because I like the voice acting in the story film extremely dumb so I was interesting but the gunplay and it gamefeels is just so awful. I cannot complete it. I got around to see Charter 15 before I give up.

    Shadow Ops is a rather bland, generic FPS that – aside from some good sound and all-round high production values – offers absolutely nothing in the way of originality.

    Stunted gameplay and lackluster story, paired with some good excitement, and AI that can only be described as dumber than a doorknob doesn’t make for a good combination, but there’s been far worse in the history of First Person Shooters.

    Great for old-school action fans. Repetitive and dull for everyone else.
