Denial Ops is like those Hollywood movie plots where the protagonist is an undercover cop with the CIA or an underground government funded agency, the existence of which is unknown to the outside world. Now as obvious is the case, if you get caught, the agency will cut all ties and refuse to acknowledge your being. Hey!! Doesn’t that remind you ‘The name’s Bond, Fevi Bond’ ?
Anyways, two players, Graves & Lang, take control of two teams of a CIA special activities division, with a pseudo name ‘Denial Ops’. Hence the name, The Game takes place in the Venezuela and the new and highly unstable controlling regimes of the country are threatening to deploy nuclear war-heads on US soil. If you haven’t guessed already, the motive of the game is to go in and retrieve or atleast immobilize the nukes.
Since its two players trying to save the nation, all through the game you’ll be able to switch between the two players, so you’ll either be back-up or taking the enemy head-on.
So basically the trick that I played with through almost all levels was, use one guy to distract the enemy and then switch over for kill.
It wasn’t as simple as that sounds, the game play was amazing, the acoustics were decent as well and the game sound like even more in multiplayer, although I didn’t get the chance to play. The guns weren’t all that innovative though.If one player does get killed, the other has a set amount of time to bring him back with an adrenaline shot. This isn't an endless life giving tool, though. Each time you bring your partner back, the amount of time you have to do it the next go around before he bleeds out goes down. This count resets with each new level, but if you aren't careful at the beginning of a stage you may find things going haywire at the end.
But anyways, even though I’m a total sucker for FPS & guns do it for me, here I felt the story plot could’ve done with a few more twists, maybe an alien invasion to go with it maybe, anything, but the plot could’ve been thicker.
