Gameplay
Sniper: Ghost Warrior is a single player first-person tactical shooter that features game mechanics based primarily on realistic covert actions of a military sniper. Combat is mission-based and centers on extended stealth gameplay that challenges players with a variety of strategic and tactical choices that affect how they approach their objectives and eliminate their targets. Sniper gameplay is designed to be realistic, with the player required to cooperate with their AI spotter for pinpointing of targets, maintain heart beat and breathing control—especially after running—for maximum accuracy and performance and develop expertise with four types of sniping rifles: AS50, MSG90, SR25 and SVD Dragunov. Players in sniping situations also must deal with conditions such as wind, fog and rain that will test even the most skilled of shooters. Additional features include multiplayer support, a slow-motion Bullet Cam Mode, an arsenal of explosive weaponry like Claymore mines and C4 explosives to defend your perimeter when and/if your position is descovered or to demolish enemy outposts, melee weapons like throwing knives for close, quiet kills and the additional ability to play as a hard-charging assault team member for up-close and personal firefights.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sniper, July 1, 2010

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Sniper: Ghost Warrior (Video Game)
Sniper: Ghost Warrior falls into the already saturated first person shooter market. The publisher City Interactive attempts to change the feel of this FPS and bring appeal to sniper enthusiast. This game is not a AAA title, so do not review it as one. The game is similar to past FPS shooters on classic consoles then to present consoles.

Single player:

Sniper is a 4 act game, each act takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours to compete, depends on your difficulty level and attention to detail. There are several secrets hidden on each act, so this adds to a small amount of replay value. The game allows a player to choose from several difficulty settings, which does not make the AI any smarter or better, rather, it helps the Sniper (player) line shots up accordingly and lets the player decided when its time to try the next difficulty level. The AI is not very intelligent, most of the time they wont react to a bot that has been shot in the head, and is standing 5 feet from...Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars This game has alot of flaws not worth full price, July 1, 2010
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Sniper: Ghost Warrior (Video Game)
First of all i have been waiting for a better sniper game to come out ever since sniper elite was out. I miss the old sniper elite. thinking this game was going to blow the old game out the water. I WAS WRONG. as far as shooting the sniper rifle watching your bullet reach your target then getting that head shot nothing feels better. I do like how much effort has to go into shooting your sniper rifle. But I noticed during the game that if you attack any of the op4 and miss or are almost seen, just like the other review they will always find you and no matter what you do or where you go they will find you. sounds cool right? NOT FOR THIS GUY.its almost as if its a real world thing right? wrong. If you watch the op4 trying to find and kill you they will be looking and shooting in a whole different direction. and yet they still manage to hit you. Or you can be 400 meters away and they are behind a wall or your behind something only your rifle exposed and they will still be able to hit...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as I initially thought..., September 1, 2010
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Sniper: Ghost Warrior (Video Game)
I was reluctant to buy this game in base to the reviews I have seen in general. But since I enjoy sniping in different games (CoD MW2 by instance), I decided to give it a shoot :).

My first impression was the details of the graphics, comparing with CoD MW2 this game is not as realistic but in my opinion it has a decent high definition graphics engine that permits the immersion of the gamer, so not a big deal for me. During one of the first campaign Acts within an Oil Rig I used an M4A1, even it has the quick aim feature encountered in CoD MW2 is not as precise (more recoil, as seen in CoD Black Ops released videos), so I experienced a sense of scattered shooting, probably more realistic (never used one in real life), just different not bad at all.

I enjoy the sniping scenarios, and what it requires: stealth, compensation, wind velocity, sneaking, etc. This game has it all, during campaign, in the rifle's reticle appears the distance and a tiny red dot for...Read more
