Sniper: Ghost Warrior Intro Gameplay Review PC HD
8-- Review --
There are very few sniper games I have enjoyed. Usually they wind up being too arcade like (think Counter-Strike) or too technical for my tastes.Sniper: Ghost Warrior is hands down my favorite sniper themed game to date. It had enough technical depth that you just couldn't go firing at anything without taking a couple things into account but also allowed me to do enough shooting that I didn't get bored.
The story to the game is not very well explained at the beginning. You are dropped into a jungle on a sniping mission with very little explanation as to what country you are in, why you are there or who you are after. A 2 minute opening video to set the mood and explain things would have been nice. It didn't help that in this game you end up being put in the shoes of 3 different characters at different points and not always told that you have switched characters. The story itself when I did understand it was pretty thin and cliched. A dictator somewhere in South America or Central America is getting his kicks by executing civilians so you must take this madman out.
Graphically Ghost Warrior is pretty good. She isn't breaking any records for prettiest game but she is far from bottom of the barrel either. The water and foliage were both very well done. The character models were also pretty decent. I also thought the reload animations on the pistol and rifles were some of the best of recent memory. I was sad to see that dead bodies would disappear after maybe 30 seconds to a minute. I miss the days of Far Cry where the bullet holes on the bodies were exactly where they were shot and it would display how many ever of them there where..
Gameplay. Something no game can live without..
You had to adjust for wind conditions as well as distance and your heart rate. As the action picked up and if more enemies knew you were close by your heart rate would increase making the sway of your rifle more pronounced. I played the game on normal difficulty and at that level the game did give me a red dot when I was zoomed in that showed me exactly where my shot would land. Now this didn't always guarantee that I didn't have to factor anything in because several times throughout the game I still had to factor for wind because that red dot was not where my bullet was landing.
What I really loved about this game was that it was much more open than most multiplatform games these days. I could shoot every enemy I saw if I so wished or I could try to stealth my way through a level killing no one. The levels were also much bigger than a lot of games these days and the freedom to move around them was great. It really made me feel like I was playing a sniper themed Crysis or Far Cry. Basically I have to get from point A to point B and do something but how I get there and what tactics I use are up to me
Sniper Ghost warrior is a game that can appeal to the more action orientated gamer such as myself or to the hardcore sniper players that want to be challenged through stealth. The game sets itself up so that you choose if you want to engage enemies. There are times that you are forced to take enemies out and this is by no means on the same tactical level as Sniper Elite (not V2) but it is a good compromise on both sides, it is not a very long game but for a game that can be had for $20 these days that is not bad. This is a good game bordering on great game...
