Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 - Limited Edition

Well packaged and quick delivery. Brilliant game plyed it for hours on end. Really good quality. Very realistic shooting with breathing and pulling trigger.

Single player campaign review:

The title says it all, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is a budget title with flaws yet was fun to play.

Positives:

Gameplay - Enjoyable and fun, especially the bullet kill cam.

Controls - Tight and responsive.

Ballistics - On normal and expert difficulty levels it's important to factor in bullet drop, wind, heart rate and posture. Especially the case with longer distance shots. Nailing long distance shots feels satisfying.

Atmosphere - Sneaking around enemies when outnumbered and outgunned feels pretty tense at times.

Music - The music is simple but adds to the sense of tension.

Lighting - Effects of lighting in all areas, particularly jungle areas is really well done.

Environments - More variety than SGW1.

Pacing - Slow and deliberate, offers something different to other military fps games.

Negatives:

AI - Can be downright stupid at times. Sometimes enemies remain stock still when you're right in front of them. Other times enemies charge at you in a mindless fashion. Even so the artifical intelligence is still an improvement on Sniper Ghost Warrior 1.

Graphics - Average environments despite use of Crytek's Cry Engine 3. Really poor character models and animations. Cutscenes are atrocious.

Length - Campaign is in the region of 6 hours long. There are 3 acts with 3 missions each. Act 3 only took me an hour or so on medium difficulty and I'm not much of a gamer.

Story - Cliched and virtually non-existent.

If you are looking for a 'triple a' title move on. If you're looking for a fast paced action game with a solid storyline, forget it.

If however, you are looking for an enjoyable budget sniping game Ghost Warrior 2 might be it.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is proof that a game does not have to be technically great or have high production values to be fun to play.

I'd suggest spending no more ten to fifteen quid on a purchase or renting.

Got the game at midnight. Played a few missions and I gotta say its amazing! If you play Sniper Elite v2 on expert mode and enjoyed that, well expert mode on sniper 2 is more challenging and more enjoyable. Just the way I like a sniper game to be, and what a sniper game should be. So much more detail to the environment and surroundings which of course is a very important factor in any sniping game. Nice touches to Sniper 2, when moving whilst looking down the sight on your pistol, it sways from left to right in a realistic way, so you really feel you are moving with your pistol, rather than the pistol just staying in the same position, like its floating on the screen whilst you move. These touches just adds to the experience. I love the bullet kill cam mode, quick and simple and doesn't frustrate you having to see your kill on the cam all the time. When you achieve a head good shot from a distance, the bullet cam gives you a real satisfaction, and the death animations just adds to that.

There is a sniper spotter who guides you through some of the route in a mission, the same way we've seen before on the sniper missions on COD4. But before you start thinking they've copied COD4 exactly, its not quite the same. Its better! Sniper 2 is by far a massive leap from the very disappointing Sniper 1.
