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.

Key Game Features

  • The most realistic sniping experience in a video game ever, right down to managing your breathing for increased accuracy of sniper shots.
  • Enjoy a fully realistic ballistic system that accounts for bullet trajectory, including bullet drop and environmental effects such as wind, fog and rain.

  • An arsenal of explosive weaponry is at your disposal. Defend your perimeter with Claymore mines, demolish enemy outposts with C4 charges and make silent kills with throwing knives.

  • A variety of mission types ranging from sniper vs. sniper elimination, real-time tactical assault and fixed machine gun combat.
  • Built on the Chrome engine which immerses players in lush jungle and detailed industrial environments.
  • Non-linear gameplay allows players to decide how they wish to approach a situation. Challenges may be completed in several different sequences, giving players the freedom to explore.
  • Multiplayer mode option supporting up to 12 players.

Fun:   
Sniping games are difficult to get right, the past has shown this, and this is no exception. Lots of flaws, AI can be buggy, the graphics are by no means state of the art, but as a working man coming home, and wanting to vent, this is great. You can easily spend an hour just sniping and having fun progressing. Having said that the game is without doubt violent (especially the slow motion head shot camera) and will surely be the source of the old debate when the game is found in the possession of some serial killer.
Anyway - back to the game... It starts with the lamest practice missions, but they only last 5 minutes, and you are off. The scenery, while basic, looks and feels solid enough, and although you can sink into the odd rock it plays well. Sniping means controlling breathing, and how visible you are. Difficulty is controlled reasonably well and when you are getting into the levels you start to get drawn into the story. Soon you find friend isn't necessarily a friend, and targets are not certainties either. As a sniping game therefore it has what it takes. It is a game I come back to, it is the best sniping game currently available, and that deserves credit. It is not for everyone, but I love playing it. So full marks, even with the odd bug.

Fun:   
Right the games is by city interactive and I hope they take this as not critisism but constructive feedback for what needs adding to make this game great instead of OK..
If you are a first person shooter fan ..its ok.. but overall the game lacks polish mainly regarding gameplay however graphics are good..right what I would have liked to have seen this game have..

1.Being able to choose weapons and various sniper rifles (and secondary weapons!!) from an outfitting screen and being able to customise (scopes and silencer etc..)for each operation ala rainbow six vegas..
2.The operations are very linear you CANT go for a walk in the woods to find the bad guys or reconoitre the game world..or which is very disappointing you cant climb aerial masts for ultimate long shots or to to gain a height advantage(though u can climb some things,what the developers want you to!!). If you try to go somewhere you hit an invisible barrier that only allows you to complete the mission how they(developers) want it to be played..wheres the fun in that.
3. with 2.(above!! in mind) allow players to move freely like on operation flashpoint or farcry
4. with 3and 2.(above!!) you only get to see the AI enemies when you have activated a waypoint within a section within an operation you have passed through or are very close to you cant reconoitre where the enemies are..helps you plan your mission..!! or bump a few off with fantastic long shots.
5. Bullet cam is brilliant BUT...if you have multiple targets you have a nice cinema of you shooting someone whilst his friends are shooting the hell out of you..WHY ?? and you take damage soo..Id prefer to be able to view the bullet cam cinemas like a debrief after the end of each mission..and possible save them too..!!
6.Rifle scope zoom..only 3 clicks..GIVE OVER!! you need 5-6 for more realism
7.Better manouverability around the game world..TAKE NOTE ALL FPS NEED THIS..Many a time you have a steep bank that you can get up over half way the steepness doesnt change but then you cant get to the top..especially when theres an advantage for you to get there..WHY not??
8.A breathing control button..the blurb for this says you can even learn to control breathing..yeah wait 5-10 secs..WOW !! NOT..

Overall I get the feeling that this game started out with good intentions but that either a time constraint was placed on its development and it was hastily put out to retail or that the developers gave up on it and lost interest..and rushed it out to retail..either way I am being generous and saying its ok..its saving grace.. quite a few missions..

If You read this and work for the developers I suggest you learn to continually develop professionalism within your chosen field..and dont rest on your laurels..open the game code add the suggestions ive made re polish it and let me test it..

if you work for a computer magazine and have favourably reviewed this game.. pack YOUR JOB IN!!

Fun:   
I'm not a software guy just someone who likes to boot-up and blaze away with ease. I grew up with Wolfenstein, the Doom trilogy, up to CoD:MW2 etc. but there are so many frustrating / irritating aspects to this game.

AI that is unresponsive (shoot one of two guys talking to each other and the other guy just carries on talking); walking through the environment you get stuck overcoming small rocks / boulders so you end up jumping over them (not very tactical); whilst the atmosphere is generally good there are some "duff" graphics moments; not a huge choice of direction (you have to follow the path set by the game); very limited add-ons for weapons, the list goes on and on.

As others have said it feels as though the developers had a great concept at the beginning (which they did as there are not many sniping-only games) but then rushed to complete the game's development as costs mounted.

To surmise, either (a) save your money, (b) buy the CoD:MW2 update, or (c) let me know and you can have my copy for free.
