    Wow I can't believe people are giving this a positive score. This game is terrible. I bought it and have regretted that decision tremendously. If you are a paid critic you get games for free to review. This helps you actually look at whether the game is great or not. If you buy it, then you don't want to say it was bad because then it seems like you wasted money. Well I bought it and I have wasted money. The game is broken. You get stuck going through doors or landing on rocks. That is great when you are supposed to be a soldier but you can't get out a doorway. Also sometimes the enemy can spot you from a mile away and sometimes you can be right near them and be invisible. My biggest complaint is this game is awesome when you snipe. It is one of the greatest moments in FPS history. Too bad you have too spend much of the game running and gunning. Why not make the game where you spend 20 minutes, sneaking around enemies and than take one shot than sneak out again. That was what the game looked like. Instead it tries to cover to much ground. The multiplayer is crap too. It lets you know exactly which direction the enemy is in. Then you just have to figure it out before the enemy sees you. This could have been a great game instead it is a shooter game that misses the mark. Expand

    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

    Okay first off. This game is no different than any other of city interactives range of sniper games. I looked on the case of them when i was in the shops and said hey these games look good i got them because they were on sale, But the gameplay was stale... I thaught their new sniper ghost warrior was going to be different but not a chance. The graphics were amazing i have no doubt about that. Okay first of all this game is too fast paced for its sort of genre in my opinion, i was looking for a slow paced sniping game when the targets required more stealth to hit. Also the sniping system is somewhat good but the instant hit bullets when not in scope is just awfull. I was hoping for bullets that actualy took time to hit their target such as in stalker and BFBC2. The assault rifles were just terrible to handle also. it felt like they were welded to my monitor. Also the npcs are just retarded. they can spot me in a ghillie suit under a canopy in the shade and in a bush when i fire my sniper rifle which is suppressed at 50 meters wehen they arent looking!? The story line was good enough. Again the graphics were great also but it was just these things that annoyed me. Just felt like playing Marine sharpshooter 3 with new textures and story... Expand

    The single player was fun, but annoying. (Rented it from GameFly). Apparently you can't crouch and go up stairs at the same time. Areas where you think you could go through you couldn't and vise versa. The enemies can spot you way to easily unless you are on your belly. Most of the time I couldn't find where they were shooting you from. If you are killed simply spawn back in and don't worry, the enemies will be in the same spot they were when they killed you the first time. When two guys were talking to each other, you could take out one of them and the other guy wouldn't even notice. The game plays a little fast for a "sniper" game. When you do use another gun, the assault rifle, its terrible. Some tweaks to the movement system and some better AI could make this game an 8 or better. When it hits the clearance bin at Target $10 or less I might pick it up. Expand

    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

    It just goes to show how little critics know about the game play or interest of so many gamers. Yes the game does not compare to MW2 or greater franchise games. But it does deliver a gaming expierence by trying to do something different, gets you involved and provides you with some much needed action and excitement.

    the game lacks from soo much, it has some interesting stealth parts but other than that, its a broken down mess, the graphics are okay not the worst graphics but not the best either, the campaign is only 3 to 4 hours long and thats only if you die alot, which there are alot of cheap deaths, and worst of all, no one plays the multiplayer!!! so you have a game with a very very short campaign and after you complete it, theres nothing to do, dont even waste your money on it Expand

    I found this game extremely enjoyable !! Seeing the bullet fly through the air into the enemies head was totally awesome. While I agree its not as good as other FPS I disagree with the many negative reviews.

    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.

  1. Rotten sniper slop with flimsy Call of Duty-esque levels glued onto the side. [Oct 2010, p.94]
  2. We've seen all of Sniper: Ghost Warrior's tricks before, and in far superior games. [Issue#62,p.88]
  3. Sniper: Ghost Warrior suffers from far too many little bugs and annoyances to make it a recommendable game.
