    Then I got to the oilrig mission, no sniping, just a badly implemented run and gun, and is it me or are the AI either brilliant or idiots? Amazing shots at huge ranges but dumb as a post when you shoot the bloke next to them.

    Invisible walls and getting caught on the scenery didn't help. Neither did the semi-QTE's (shoot NOW!) or how the AI can hit you 300m away with an AK and you cant shoot back because the screen's shaking.

You can't take 3 steps without getting a collision bug and that is not exaggerating.. You will either walk through big rocks or will get stuck on a perfectly flat floor, plus you can't "climb" stairs crouched.. You can spot enemies on your radar but even after 6 hours of gameplay, you wont know how it works cause it sometimes automatically reveal them a mile away and sometime having the NPC 2 meters in front of you in plain sight wont still show him.. You will have more fun playing CoD or Crysis and adapting your play style then playing this. Avoid the frustration, bugs and the game!… Expand

    Disappointing. This graphics and sounds in Sniper Ghost Warrior are quite nice and the actual sniping is fun as well. Unfortunately, that's all there is.

The remainder is CoD-esque firefights where you're forced to use an assault rifle (which are complete garbage) to get through the level. These are easily the worst experiences in the game. The weapons are so bad, and the effects are so horrid, that it makes playing through these levels an absolute chore. On top of all this, the game is riddled with bugs and glitches. Sound become de-synced, graphics, glitch, AI derps, it's all there. Sniper Ghost Warrior is an average game that becomes below average due to the massive amount of bugs present therein.… Expand

Sometimes enemy guards will see you randomly and raise the alarm, even if you're half a mile away buried under bushes and dense grass. Other times, you can dash across a road right in front of them without alerting them. Broken AI is unforgivable in a game about stealth and sniping.

    Enemies themselves are pathetic in fights, and it should be simple for any gamer to simply kill everyone. It's easier than trying to sneak through, considering how bad the stealth mechanics are.

    The final nail in the coffin is that Ghost Warrior is heavily scripted. Your character will do things without your control in mini cutscenes, and usually it ends up landing you in trouble or setting you up for an especially broken mission where every enemy is automatically aware of your presence.

    I can't give this game more than 3.    … Expand

I am currently stuck on the mission where you have to sneak past a base, and im crawling in the dark, tall grass at midnight, and the enemies on the ground still spot me, about 70 feet away. So- Terrible AI and a somewhat fun multiplayer earn this game around a 6. I would only suggest this to die-hard fans of sniping.… Expand

    All I wanted was a real sniper game, where it's all about hiding, finding perfect angles and delivering perfect shots. No games but this one offered me this. Forget about Sniper Elite, which is a run and gun game, far from being a sniper game: after you shoot once, enemies are running after you and you have to run and gun them. Very, very disappointing.

    With Sniper Ghost Warrior, it's almost never the case: you have to stay low, stay quiet and stay invisible or you'll get killed pretty quickly, or trigger the alarm and lose. Only a couple of run and gun chapters, that are actually making you relax and break lose, shooting everything that comes at you.
    Yes, there are some bugs but they don't impact the game-play to my opinion. Not quite sure why everybody blasted it in reviews. It really delivers the sniping experience to me.    … Expand

    This game has/had potential. Unrealized potential unfortunately. The FOV used in the game is a bit off giving you a feeling of nausea after a little time playing. The game mechanics were okay, but the AI was terrible. The story line was cliche and rather linear.

    This game has a lot of potential in certain areas. However a very poor story and a few poor mechanics really hold the game. It could be worth a shot, one moment it is quite enjoyable and the next an invisible wall is stopping you from hitting someone.

    The game is too unrealistic. Grenades shouldn't exist, pistols should be much weaker. Maps should be much bigger, with a lot more places to hide and better concealment, generally they should have just spent more than 1 day on their maps. Then the compass simply shouldn't exist.

The wrongs. First, the most important, the A.I. I don't remember what mission it was but, I was sniping a convoy from a lighthouse. The enemies were 1000 yards from me, firing full auto at me, and i was getting hit left and right. Then i took cover, and one of my little toes was not in cover, and they were still hitting me, ON EASY!!!! Next, the A.I has eyes of a hawk. If you make the slightest motion, BAM!!, everyone and their uncle is shooting you. If you want a below average game, buy it. If you want a good game, don't. The only complaint is that the A.I is terrible, the missions are boring after 1 time.… Expand

There were some bug and invisible walls here and there but the overall experience was great. One hour later and all of that had changed. The AI in this game is truly horrible. At times the AI will be incredibly dumb and will barely notice you while you are walking beside them. Making the game beyond easy on the hardest difficult setting. And at other times the AI goes into full god mode being able to see you and shoot you in bushes several hundred meters away. This gets especially annoying on the missions where you play as a normal soldier since they are more linear, and lets not even talk about the friendly AI. I would go as far as to say that the game is broken on the harder difficulty simply because of the AI. If you are not looking for a challenge and simply want to cruise around the islands shooting bad guys then you can still probably have a good time with the game, otherwise i would recommend that you stay away from this game.… Expand

    Second the A.I. The complaint was that it was too lame, then too accurate at long distance even when you were camoflaged. FIXED. I estimate the A.I. is about the same as you would find in Crysis.
    Third, that the pistol was overpowered. I have to disagree with that. It's nice that two clean shots can kill, as it should be. Sometimes you have to make more shots anyway.

    Moving on though, the graphics are lovely. It's set in the Amazon jungle, and looks exactly like a blend of Far Cry and Crysis. Sadly there is no 'antialiasing' in the video options so you can expect a few jaggies. It should run fine on very modest graphics cards. A GT240 type graphics card should max it all.

    Just because it's a sniper title, doesn't mean slow gamplay: the game moves at a lively pace. It's moderately intense, involving, and exciting. There is an auto slow-mo replay of some of the headshots you make, and watching the physics is great. Overall the shooting has plenty of rewarding take-downs.

    If you look at it and think even vaguely "Maybe a sniping game would be good", you could love this.

    My score of 8/10 is really about 84%. I knocked a few points off for the following. 1 Mounted heavy guns are very loud and recoil on them is phenomenal, but luckily you use them rarely. 2 'No anti-aliasing' in video settings'. 3 There was a moment when I got stuck, and it took me about twently minutes to work out why. All I needed to do at that point was make two more kills, before I could descend from a ledge. 4 -'THE INTRO SCREEN HAS A BUG' so you can't watch the introductory video properly. The bug shows only the lower half of the video, while the upper half of the screen is blacked out. Fear not though because the game, and all the menus are complete.

    I paid £0.89 for it on Steam's current sale. At full Steam price of £6 it's still a generously priced buy. I will buy Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 before the 2013 Steam Summer Sale ends. Buy SGW quickly in case Steam up the price since it works now, and that word might spread. You will be buying a solid shooter, and the gun...seriously..!    … Expand

    This game presents a somewhat overused idea and puts you in the shoes of a sniper (hence the title). The graphics are quite nice and the gameplay isn't very good. basically, you just try to snipe people but you have to watch for variables like how many people are around your potential victim. Many other games have sniping segments (such as Modern Warfare) but they are much better than this game.

    The multiplayer was what made the game for me. It was just damn fun to play with my friends. The sniping feels natural and realistic enough to keep me playing. Although the pistols might be a little overpowered, they are a nice addition to the sniper-based classes. You cant edit the classes though, and that is what disapointed me. I'm giving the multiplayer an 8.5.
    Overall, the game is fun, and although having bugs and other annoyances, this game should definitely be picked up by anyone who loves sniping in FPS games. Even those who dont. Im gonna give it a score of 8.5 overall.    … Expand

I played the game on normal difficulty and have to say that most of the reviews are misleading. This game is highly underrated. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It took me 9 hours to complete the single player game. The graphics are fantastic, but you will need a decent machine to play it on the higher settings. I did not experience any problems with AI over reacting. If you take your time, move slowly and stay hidden, you won't have any issues. If anything I must agree that the AI sometimes under reacts e.g. not getting a reaction from a guy when you have just taken down the guy standing next to him. There are many factors you have to consider when playing this game. Are you using a suppressor or will the AI hear your gun? Is the AI facing you when you make a dash across the path or road? Do you change position when your cover is blown? The quick save feature is very useful. I was caught a few times and after trying a different approach, managed to get through.

    I enjoyed the few missions where I had to use an assault rifle. It added a nice change to the game. The pistol and knife were useful in close quarters situations. I hardly used the grenades. I also enjoyed the mix of sniper rifles you get to play with. I loved the fact that you can shoot through small gaps in walls and fences as well as through vegetation.

    I have started the game again on hard difficulty, which has no assists and presents a whole new challenge. I can't wait!

    I would give the game a 10, but there were definitely a few issues with it. The game as a whole far outweighs the glitches and I highly recommend it to FPS gamers who enjoy the satisfaction of a successful sniper shot. It is definitely one of my favourites.    … Expand

    I do find the parts when you have to be stealthy or use a machinegun/pistol a bit challenging (probably because its made for a sniper), but the sniping makes up for it.

    I truly don't understand why people give this game such a hard time, It is really fun and totally worth the money and just to prove it I happen to own it both on my computer and my Xbox 360 It is really fun online and on the Single player, if you like to see really good graphics and just happen to love splinter cell and call of duty this is the game for you and I promise you wont regret it!!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you have ever played a Tom Clancy game, whether it is Raven Shield or Las Vegas, perhaps you really liked that one mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare where you use a high powered sniper rifle. Perhaps you loved the free roaming and sniping from the original Crysis, Far Cry (either of them) and felt that maybe there should be an entire game dedicated to sniping; then you should stick with those games. Sniper: Ghost Warrior is the first game to incense me to such a point where I felt I needed to review it simply to let people know what a truly awful game this is. Unlike the aforementioned Rainbow Six games the sniping never really feels, tough. You are seldom worried that a single bullet will end your existence. On the other hand the lush overgrowth and jungle setting may tempt you to think that maybe you've found Sniper's Farcry or maybe Crysis. However the pervasive invisible walls and glitchy AI will swiftly end that dream. Certainly the original Farcry had it's own faults, but the levels were so expansive that you could forgive the goons that seemed to spot your brightly coloured hawaiian shirts from several kilometres off because at least the game didn't fence you in so tightly. Of course in this game there are no super suits, you won't have the advantage of a cloaking device, but you have the next best thing if COD: MW has taught us anything; a ghillie suit.

    However this ghillie suit must have been made by acme, because it seems about as effective as the hawaiian shirt you wore in farcry for avoiding detection. In some levels it does work, but in others even looking in the direction of a goon will end the mission immediately as someone sounds an alarm.

    Now don't get me wrong, I gave this game a 1, not because of the graphics - Crysis did graphics better. But because of the delightful sniping mechanic, this game on easier settings gives you a dot which changes position and often doesn't match up with where your cross-hairs point and indicates where your bullet will end up. Should you score a headshot then you get a slow-mo recap of the shot (assuming you left that option on) and the path your bullet took, you can use this to scout out enemies hidden behind objects or near your victim - and this is enjoyable. The problem is that your enemies act unpredictably. Sometimes they'll notice their colleague drop and then by immediate psychic connection open fire on your position - sometimes from miles away. Given your weapon is almost always silenced one has to wonder how the hell they could tell where the bullet was fired from. On other occasions they won't even notice, or they will get stuck in walls or tents searching for you. Another problem is material penetration, given your weapon of choice why do flimsy walls often stop your bullet even at close range? This game is terrible. It isn't worth buying even during a steam special, the company that made this game do not deserve your money no matter how little it is. The story isn't worth your time of day, the stealth mechanic certainly isn't, and the hours of frustration at the invisible walls and linear paths, dodgy AI and only slightly enjoyable sniping mechanic are not worth it. Buy a better game, get Farcry, replay COD: MW, check out any of the Rainbow Six games because they are all better shooters, have better storylines and less flawed gameplay than this piece of rubbish.    … Expand

    This game is a sub-standard FPS but worse. Some of the worst A.I i've ever seen, horrible levels, glitches, a non-existent story with a laughably bad ending, there's not a single thing that this game does well. Sadly, everyone bought in on the sniper gimmick and now a sequel is on the way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loving the sniper missions in comparable games, i read the average reviews but still decided to buy this game in sale. (through Steam). I have mixed feelings about this game. In the playability it seems that it hasn't been tested properly before releasing it. Lots of little things that sometimes are a bit frustrating. For example getting shot in the blink of an eye by normal weapons when you are sniping from a great distance. Also, the sudden end of the game of the campaign, after about ten hours of playing, makes you think that the designers were suddenly out of budget (or inspiration). Compare it with a B-film, you will want to watch it if you like the genre, but otherwise you might as well skip this one. Please let me know if you find this helpful.… Expand

    I think the game is really good. Especially the single-player, its with nice weapons but the story is a classic with one hero, you. And when you kill someone they don't immediately sound the alarm. The on-line really ruins the game much bugs and the more you kill you don't unlock weapons or things like that.

    A not of a hit and miss game. I myself enjoyed the single player campaign if not just a little frustrating in some places. The bullet time kill can was a great addition and the graphics still hold they're own to this date. If you like action FPS with a bit of sneakiness it is definitely one to pickup and play, even if its for one play though.

It is the absolute worst thing I have ever seen. The AI instantaneously see (this is on hard mode by the way) you if there is a direct line of sight (as in no walls). Now, you may be thinking "Okay, not bad, so they see you." They also DON'T MISS! They instantly see you, even if you are in bushes. Meaning you cannot see them. They don't miss. If you poke your head out -- you die. That is it. Simple as that. The only reason this game is not a 10 is because they let a braindead monkey on crack program their AI. I tried the level where you stand on a hill with the machine gun and defend yourself for a few minutes 30 time before I gave up on the game. It is nigh on impossible, because once you finish (which is not that hard once you get on the machine gun) a guy randomly spawns in a bush behind you and instantly kills you. Every time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I purchased this game from Steam when it went on sale, as I do with all my games. I was very happy with the game. The graphics were great, I love how they didn't overdue it with the color hues. Too many games create washed out colors in an attempt to create atmosphere (GRAW 1&2, Far Cry 2, etc.) but this had a very realistic feel to the environment, visually speaking. Now when it came to movement around the environment, there are a lot of invisible walls. Some areas will allow you to crawl under, say a tower, but then in another area it won't let you go under the same kind of tower or some ledges you can make your way up but other, similar, ledges your denied access. This was, no doubt, to force you down a path the level designers wanted one to go. But, inconsistencies like this, can make the game slightly frustrating, from time to time, and reminds you it's just a game. Also, not being able to jump a four foot fence or ledge was a let down, especially when it's the only thing standing between you and the next target. The player's character animations seemed unfinished. When you approach a wall your character lifts up his gun but then when you crawl on the ground the animation looks the same as when you are standing, just a lower POV. And for a game that requires a lot of crawling, this is a bit of a disappointment. I never had any of the problems of the A.I. spotting me when I was hidden, unless I took the shot when they were looking in my general direction. But, there are times when the A.I. is dumb as a rock. This just makes it fun to snipe yet another enemy. ;) Some levels don't seem like they would work without the A.I. being dumb. For instance, on the stage â… Expand

Killing in this game is really satisfying, and the bullet kill-cams is awesome. Although this game have some serious issues regarding the AI. Sometimes they're just too stupid, and sometimes way too smart. It's really random how some can detect you hundreds of meters away, when you're barely moving and with full camouflage. Also really random how they sometimes don't see you when you're just in front of them. The one thing that ruined the game for me, was the missions where you had to use Assault rifles. When you aim down your sights with an Assault rifle, the aiming feels so rough, and clumsy, and not smooth at all, which, even in the hands of a pro FPS player, would make it hard. And a mixture between extremely random AI, and bad guns, are a REALLY bad mixture. But all in all, this game is good, and i like it, only on the sniper missions though. There is unfortunately a few missions where you do not use snipers. I thought it was a sniper game. If you see this game on sales somewhere, and you love sniper games, i must say i recommend this game.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior still goes alongside the rumours and my own opinion and forecast;

    It's all show and no substance.

    Graphics:
    The game looks great and has superior light- and shadow-effects, no doubt about it.

    It's in my humble opinion on the same level like OF:DR², CoD4 a little bit more than BF².
    But it appears to be a bit delicately don't know how to convey it.
    It doesn't seems to be robust and full-fledged like 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare'.
    There are often skippin' textures, flickering and stuff like that (which it's not driver/graphic-cards dependent).

    AI:
    One word; Measly.
    The AI is disastrous, it's simply in-existent.
    There are unbelievable scenes and things which aren't acceptable.

    Bugs/Gameplay:
    You care for an example?
    The situation:
    I tried several times to invade and cross a village while remaining undiscovered, so far the plan.
    Notwithstanding the grass is about 3 feet tall and i prone in my almost magical 'Special SpecOps Marksmen Sniper camouflage suit' which is pretty cool and a soldiers dream to look at it i got a head-shot from 800 meters for free.

    So i decide to make the Rambo.
    I went to engage the village with all the fire-power i got, and as obvious and loud as possible.
    In the end, you probably guess it;
    I watch in awe two enemies shootin' for whatever sake a freaking stone and foist the stones dead?
    I knifed both.
    Any questions ?

    In general the AI gets and hits you, wherever and behinds whatever cover you are mostly with a headshot.

    Stealth-Meter:
    It makes no difference if you're well covered in endless-tall grass or behind the thickest wall, or if you're roam freely on the highest exposed places.
    The Cover-Meter (witch is [at best] useless) indicates me on the first situation i was exposed and on the other hand i was nearly invisible.

    Freely exposed while hidin' hundreds of meters away in grass or behind walls.
    And virtual unseeable staying on-top of a HMMWV
    while shootin' at an enemy just a footstep away.

    No further questions, Your Honour.

    Performance:
    The performance is abysmal.
    The graphic is, let's say, 2008's measures adapted and meets barely todays standards.
    But the for this purpose needed performance and processing power, speechless.

    And no, i didn't forgot the multiplayer.
    It's just not worth mentioning.
    My conclusion: Sniper: Ghost Warrior joins seamlessly today's line-up of games which got nice graphics but crappy and buggy gameplay/AI/whatsoever. From this point of view, it's dure but true, S:GW puts itself on the same level as SC:C, CoD:BO, OF:DR² and so on. All that glimmers isn't gold.    … Expand

    PC FOV is unbearable, and there is no fix, not even by editing files. Developers on Steam not only refuse to acknowledge that it needs to be fixed, but also make jokes (some sexual) about the people asking for a FOV fix.

    OK, so i got this game because i was going overseas for 2 years, and i scored a racer, an RPG, an FPS and a strategy. Got this as the FPS obviously. Firstly was greatful to see that the graphics ran high on my laptop. The scenery is stunning and love the ragdoll effect on dead enemies. Weapons are awesome and recoil and bullet drop add some fun. Only played through once and that'll be it.OK, so i got this game because i was going overseas for 2 years, and i scored a racer, an RPG, an FPS and a strategy. Got this as the FPS obviously.

Only played through once and that'll be it. i couldnt wait to finish it, which is a shame! the AI is frickin retarded. stealth means knife kills. even if u shoot someone with a silencer on, you can be heard from 200m away, but not a knife kill and the body falling. hell a body can fall next to a dude and he doesnt know. second, even though you can barely see enemies, they can see you. acting normal, then all of a sudden from 100m away and from behind they spin around WTF? made some missions, esp when ur escaping very hard. i thought the vegetation would cover you enough but these enemies are superhuman, they can even hit you at 300m with a full auto ak 90% of the time. some things they do are ridiculous, others are just plain stupid. would be good to also see some map areas accessible - like i cant crawl under a 2ft gap if its not in main map but i can slide 50m down a hill and be fine??? if vegetation was fully effective and AI was smart (they just duck up and down after you shoot a guy next to them) this would be a mad game. sadly one i wont be playing again.… Expand

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior drops you into the beautiful jungles of a dangerous fictitious land, yet also into an extremely boring story, into mindless shooting and into poorly executed sections.

    A really miserable waste of time. If you do need to play sniper games, go for Sniper elite v3. The graphics are pathetic, AI is too good or too crappy, stealth mechanics are horrible and too many bugs.

    After finishing the game, I don't know what to say. It just left that 'meh' feeling in me.

    The graphic side of things is alright, bearing in mind that the game is 8 years old. But there are too many copy and pasted objects. First couple of missions, you will be pleasantly surprised by the enviroment, but after fifth it will all look the same.
    Physics should be the backbone of every sniping game and the bullet physics, wind, bullet drop worked. I haven't tried it in reality so I can't confirm that they are realistic, but if you play the game on hardest difficulty, you will miss a lot. Simply because there is no reticle to help you. Other sides of physics weren't that great. Often, you would get stuck in enviroment, you woulnd't be able to jump over something, or there will be an invisible texture that would mean you have to walk on to it instead of sneaking whilst lying down.
    When it comes to sound, again in the beggining, enviroment sounds awesome. Even the 'soundtrack' is cool. But when you realize, you will listen to these exact sounds throught the whole game, your smile will fade away. Sounds made by sniper rifles are good enough, but the rest of the weapons, that's nightmare. I just want to forget it. And lastly, the dialogue of enemies is in spanish. No issue there, I quiet like that, the issue is that it feels like they have 25 lines on repeat and when you are sneaking around them, someone just end me.
    As I mentione earlier, the Level desing was repetetive. Whilst it wasnt an open-world game, the levels were atleast somewhat open, so you could sneak around and try different routes. Also, there were 'secrets', laptops scattered around the missions for you to find, so this ephasised the exploring of the areas.

    Story-wise, I just wanted it to end. The story started well, some general that you had to kill, but it got to the same old nuclear threat as every other modern fps has to find. Why cant we just focus on drug lords and cartels in these countries? Why make it so unreasonable?
    The story had couple of twists and turns, some missions you were solo and on some you had a spotter. The spotter wasn't really of much help, atleast on hardest difficulty, but he had some clutch warnings, so it was cool.
    Sadly, the main story didn't last that long. There were sixteen missions and I completed in a bit more than six hours. I also found all the secrets. Nowadays, 6 hours is awful, but back in 2010, there werent many fps games that were longer than 10 hours. ( excluding rpgs and open world games ).
    Characters were forgettable. They felt a bit forced onto you and I didnt really build any kind of emotional connection. But that may have been caused by the short lenght and cliché story.

    Let me say one thing right now. The person who thought that it would be a good idea for the game to have passages, where you are playing someone from delta force with M16 in hand and go rambo on the enemy, just kick him. Don't ever let him do any kind of meaningful decision. Because the game actually worked in the times that you were given a sniper rifle. Also, the handling of every weapon except the sniper rifle is terrible. Assault rifles have a kick, as if the main protagonist was a little girl and not a soldier. You can't fire more than two bullet bursts, because if you try to do so, you will be spraying all around the area. Even the silenced pistol, which you will be using half the time is just meh.

    Up until now, I haven't said many good things about the game, yet I gave it neutral score? Why is that? Because the mechanics of sniping and sneaking are great. I am not saying they are perfect, once they see you, they will see you through bushes and stuff. But if you manage to not be spotted, you can sneak around guards without killing anyone. Of course not every time, sometimes there is an enemy that cant be avoided but still, there is a lot of freedom in how you approach some situations. And the missions, where there is stealth, those missions are the reason you play the game. Sadly, even though it works well, It won't help the score.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior is not a bad game. But it could have been so much better, if it wasn't for poor story, missions that had nothing to do with sniping and some technical issues, that plague the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bueno, después de haber jugado unas 6 horas al juego y haberlo terminado eh decidido hacer esta reseña en base a mi experiencia dentro del mismo.

    ¿Que es Sniper Ghost Warrior?

    Para empezar Sniper Ghost Warrior es una mezcla de tres juegos que son Sniper Elite , COD:MW y crysis pero mal llevado, ¿a que me refiero con mal llevado? Simplemente no tiene nada de lo que hace grandes a los juegos mencionados anteriormente. El sigilo es un chiste, la acción estilo COD esta mal echa ya que se te hace imposible disparar con algunas armas haciendo el juego difícil de jugar y los niveles se ven que estaban echos para ser mas grandes pero llega un momento en que es un carril contiguo. Incluso en algunos niveles la IA te mata por que al juego le da la gana que es otra cosa que tocaremos mas adelante.

    Apartado Gráfico

    Los gráficos del juego son mediocres hasta para la época en la que salio, es decir un juego de 2010 no puede tener gráficos de la generación de ps2... Aparte de tener mucho poping las animaciones de las cinemáticas y de los personajes son mediocres y de risa, creo que fue lo que mas me divirtió del juego.

    Apartado Técnico

    Dejando los gráficos aparte la IA del juego es una basura, a veces los tíos te descubren por que si y otras veces pasas por delante de ellos y ni te ven, luego a la hora de disparar hay veces que no dan ni una como derrepente te dan todas... El juego es un chiste con patas. Muchas veces e visto mis enemigos dar vueltas sobre si mismos haciendo lo que yo llamaría el corro de la patata.

    Bugs

    En el tema de bugs no hay muchos pero sobretodo hay en la colisión de cuerpos con el entorno. Los cuerpos empiezan a volar o a desaparecer por arte de magia. Y uno muy gracioso de que el menú y los créditos están del revés...

    Historia

    Si alguien va a jugarlo que pase de largo esto. El juego te cuenta la historia de varios personajes dando a entender que el protagonista es el sargento Tyler Wells en su misión de acabar con un dictador sudamericano que esta utilizando a su población para extraer uranio con el fin de crear ojivas nucleares. Típica trama americana donde en mitad del juego por arte de magia un agente infiltrado traiciona a nuestro personaje e intenta matarlo(Esta parte es muy graciosa por que "no es esperable ni nada"). Total que nuestro protagonista es salvado por unos tíos que aparecen de la nada y no son mencionados en ningún momento de la trama. Al final los power rangers y tu os aliáis y matáis al traidor en una cinemática "muy realista". Luego de eso el juego se va notando mas que carece de narrativa y concluimos salvando a los civiles y matando al caudillo con nuestro francotirador dando paso un fondo en negro con las letras FIN

    Gameplay

    Bueno vamos a terminar con lo mas importante el gampelay. Es aquí donde el juego se salva algo, la sensación de disparo con el francotirador y las misiones de francotirador a excepción de 1 u 2 son bastante gratificantes. No es lo mejor que eh jugado en mi vida como puede ser Sniper elite pero se deja jugar bastante pero lo demás es un ZERO a la izquierda. Se nota que solo se centraron en pulir la mecánica de sniper y lo demás fue añadido a fuerza...

    Conclusión

    Dejando un lado sus gráficos y su inexistente hilo narrativo el juego no es una basura completamente pero si que no recomendaría comprarlo a no ser que este rebajado a 1 euro sin mas que decir es pero que os haya servido mi análisis. Un plaser.

    I've decided to try and play this franchise because of how much i liked Snper Elite.
