City Interactive has done a wonderful job of improving on the first Ghost Warrior title, and while this game still has a ways to go before being stellar, it definitely has succeeded in getting us excited for what the next sniping title may look like.
Though the potential to be a great game is there for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, it just never reaches that point of greatness due to flaws and linear gameplay.
I think the official reviewer has lost his mind, didn't really play the game, or has a bias of thinking it would **** because of the first game. The new sniper 2 game is fantastic fun. Is it extremely innovative? No, but that's not how games should be judged, but only on quality of gaming experience. The graphics of the lush foliage environments are splendidly accomplished and the gameplay is super fun taking out russian, filipinos, and ukranians from long range. This game is meant to be played on hard if you want a true sniping experience without all the help. I really enjoyed protecting the seal teams from afar. I actually hated the first sniper game but very much have enjoyed my experience with this game. If there is one thing we've learned, don't trust reviewers (ahem Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3, etc.). They are biased, paid off, or way too enamored with innovation.
I think the Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is more better then the first game. _city interactiv made good game for low price. Graphic mayby isn't like crysis3 but is better than good. Hovever Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is actually best sniper game and i have lot of fun playing. I'm waitting for more maps to play multiplayer.
An appealing-enough concept mired by shoddy execution. Unabashed scope junkies may find something to amuse them here, however, providing you put a bullet through your better judgement.
A huge disappointment and a step back from the original game. Ghost Hunter 2 is boring, repetitive, and doesn't really immerse you in the world of snipers.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 turned out to be a clumsy attempt in creating a sniper-focused FPS, with many defects and few positives. A good overall atmosphere is overcome by a bad enemy AI, an incredibly short campaign and glitchy CryEngine implementation. Forgettable.
I realize this is what’s considered a budget title at $39.99, but regardless of this fact I felt like one would not get much for their hard earned, and spent, dollars here. Give this one a pass unless you are the most addicted of scope junkies or if you enjoyed the first game.
A sequel that seems to have learned almost nothing from the deeply flawed original, and which still only hints at the wider potential for a proper sniper sim.
Sniper 2 was a much better game than the first one, I thought the levels were very good and gameplay was excellent. There is one thing I would pick holes in the game is the checkpoints **** especially if u try it on hard, I wanted to get all the achievements and this was very difficult on hard because the enemy always heard you, still besides that it is an excellent game.
I took a chance with this game because of the £25 price point thinking it would be rubbish. But I was wrong, the single player is fun, as well as the multiplayer. Graphics aren't the best but what do you expect for 25 quid. Excellent game
compared to the first game this game looks like a masterpiece - compared to modern videogames this game is just okay.
the game provides you will a number of interesting stealth/sniping sequences through the first of 3 acts. the game also looks fantastic throughout the first chapter due to cry engine 3's ability. The water effects are very average but the jungle, flora and fauna all look fantastic and the enemies are animated well. the sniping sequences in the first act make you feel like a trained elite sniper working with a team. however after the first act the game becomes fairly dull and boring, the sniping situations become limited as you spend your time close up to enemies completing stealth takedowns and sneaking past enemies which never offer much of a threat. i think i was shot once throughout the whole of the game and i was playing fairly stealthy. the sniping does make this worth playing though. the ballistics make the game fairly tough as you do have to adjust your shots due to the distance, wind, etc. which makes the shooting really cool. however you only have access to 3 sniper rifles throughout the entire game which does make the action less customisable.
i enjoyed the story of the campaign - the revenge plot was interesting and the background to the main character was intriguing - however the overarching story of the game was fairly typical and the "general" or whoever he was in the game was a major pain and he never actually made sense. i was glad when the main character of the game turned him off.
despite the flaws of the game it does offer a fairly cool sniping experience and if you can find it for cheap then pick it up :)
The very definition of average. Good sniping mechanics bogged down by really hit and miss graphics (hello, PS1 era textures on the enemies in the first 3 chapters especially, good Christ how did they misuse CryEngine this bad?) and a cliche plot held up by occasional good voice acting (hello, Troy Baker playing the MC).
With it now being 2022, this game is dirt cheap. If you want some single player FPS sniping, it will scratch the itch, but don't expect much else besides.
Very poor graphics on console, awful use of cryengine 3.
On max difficulty the game lasted less then 5 hours, and multiplayer only 2 maps.
Ballistic and gameplay is good, AI behaviour is terrible and unrealistic.
Bulletcam is nice, but you will see it very rarely. Death animations are most terrible i have ever seen... Mission are straight forward and linear.
Compared to Sniper Elite V2, Ghost Warrior looks like a bad joke.

Feel the kill as you control your breathing and experience a realistic ballistics system. Experience the single player campaign and multiplayer sni...
