  1. Sniper: Ghost Warrior isn't flawless, mainly due to a sub-par technical production and some mediocre run-and-gun shooting sections; nevertheless, the developers managed to bring us a very involving and atmospheric game, suited to everyone who has always been charmed by the sniper profession.
  2. Sometimes it isn't a bad thing to be a one trick pony, especially when that trick is as well executed as it is here.
  3. 45
    Sniper: Ghost Warrior starts off very convincing but in a short amount of time all the good things in this game will fade away. You shouldn't even get this game if the store clerk gave you money to take it home.
  4. Unfortunately, Sniper is a "meh" experience with a very limited appeal; gamers with extreme patience and a passion for sniper rifles might enjoy themselves.

  1. ever thought about strapping on some camo paint and snipering some creeps...then this is the game for you,its a very realistic take on being a sniper,you get to explore a jungle environment that is very large and runs very smoothly,very good game Expand
  2. It's a stealth based game if you treat it as such, for the price it is these days and you like fps games you would be remiss not to give it a try. I never played it online but I was very satisfied with the gameplay while I wait for dishonored, develepers should release more in the summer months Expand
  3. 6
    The graphics are great and the sniping was enjoyable when it happened. Unfortunately if you were looking for a stealth sniping game, you're out of luck. Most areas are obviously not big enough because as soon as you have an enemy in your sights, he's spotted you. This happened through the most of the game. It's a real problem when they can see you and you have no idea where they are. Any attempt at stealth involves taking out all the guards in the area without anyone notices. In fact, it's extremely easy just to kill everyone instead of attempting stealth or sniping. Too bad the guns are terrible. The game relies heavily on the action and ignores any attempt at a coherent plot, although it provided a couple memorable parts. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the game much more had the gameplay been more refined. Expand
  4. Really a terribly bad game. Frustrating movement, and horrible gun mechanics make this near impossible to enjoy. It's only redeeming quality is the rag doll mechanics after a headshot. Expand
