    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. AnyThe graphics are great and the sniping was enjoyable when it happened.

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

    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.

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.

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

    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 IWow I can't believe people are giving this a positive score.

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

    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.

    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.

    This game is really lacking in everything, ending was non-existent and for a game supposedly based on sniping very little properly takes place. Most missions involve "stealth" which usually means kill everyone so there's no one left to see you anyway. Such an approach shouldn't be viable on the hardest difficulty, then there are the the non-sniper parts which are completely pointless

    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

    This game was a decent effort, but had a lot of room for improvement. There were a lot of simple bugs that hurt the game play. Many times I was unable to ascend basic stairs. If I was crouching for stealth and paused, it would stand me up when resuming the game blowing my cover. Little things like this took away from the experience and would have been relatively easy to fix. The graphicsThis game was a decent effort, but had a lot of room for improvement.

Little things like this took away from the experience and would have been relatively easy to fix. The graphics were painfully average and quite bland. The story was nonexistent and I completed it in just over 5 hours.
    All that being said, there was something very addicting and rewarding about this this game. The control mechanics were very well done and the slow motion sniping and cut scenes never got old. There were some non-sniping parts of the game which lacked greatly. I feel they should have just stuck with the sniping portions.
    A very average game, but worth a play through if you can pick it up used in the bargain bin.    … Expand

    This game is too buggy. Game status says you missed a secret, but I know I got them all. You can't climb stairs while crouched! You have to stand up and sometimes jump. This action gets you shot and you lose health. Then Chapter 5 - An Alliance To Save Rodriguez the two members of you team just stand there, while you battle all the enemies who have no problem with their aim, but you do.This game is too buggy.

    Its the first time after a so many years, I've actually smashed the disk to prevent any one else playing this totally dysfunctional game. It is computer-centric engineering where line-of-sight means nothing. Enemy can see and shoot through walls and rocks and even the most veteran of players don't stand a chance against the computer.

    The game has nice graphics and beautiful areas. The excpierience was fun at first, but later on it was almost impossible to beat for me. The AI is too accurate with shooting and seeing you. The maps are to small and you can also go into melee wich completely changes a sniper game. For me its just not good enough.

    This game has some cool things about like the sniping mechanics, and the graphics are pretty good, but that's about it, it's simple entertainment for casual gamers but it's not a fantastic game, it's 2 sequels are better than this though.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior suffers from far too many little bugs and annoyances to make it a recommendable game.
