There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's tough finding enemies, especially when there are many shooting at you. It's not COD or Bad Company; you can't use your noggin to draw them out and then simply recover. In real life, someone who sees you tells his buddies and they keep hunting you. So this game draws on real life and punishes you for being detected.
But it does have a Visibility Indicator which lets you know how close you are to being discovered. Keep your eye on the VI, never stray too far from cover, and duck before it glows bright red. If you get spotted, snipe anyone and everyone who spots you and the VI drops to zero again.
In addition, you can use the VI to find enemies from behind cover and snipe them. This will change your life. See this detailed explanation: "Technique: Using Visibility Indicator to locate enemies" [get address in my comment, or Google the title]
Here are a few other tips. You have an advantage at long distance, but you are not invisible or out of range. Use that advantage, and find your targets before you get so close you are easy pickings. Don't be afraid. Crawl when you must, but stand tall while enemies are distant and you can draw them out.
Clear the path. In the first mission, for example, there are isolated guards on towers that can be sniped without alerting others and blowing the mission. Get them as you approach and before attempting the assassination, and you will have fewer people returning fire when you reveal yourself.
Observe. The bullet cam has a "wow" factor, but it can also reveal hidden enemies. See that fence ahead on the left rim of the cliff as you approach an enemy camp? It's there for a reason. Guard towers may be empty, but ask whether someone is hiding inside.
Learn. Observe enemy snipers when you can and you'll see how enemies see you. Look back at areas where you've hidden and see how they appear from a distance. You will stop feeling that you are wearing neon and learn to adapt to the arena.
EDIT: For those who think the computer uses special vision in Campaign mode, try multi-player. The humans there will spot you and kill you even quicker. And it gives you a chance to see how well the character blends in or stands out.
2d EDIT: Bumped rating from 3 to 4 stars. Game seems to be playing smoother, though some glitches have not been corrected. 7/30/2010
Hey all this is Sam AKA Para in the gaming review community. This is one of many gaming reviews I will be starting for Amazon, so I hope you enjoy. Going to be talking about Sniper: Ghost Warrior and what I think could have been one of the best games for its concept; could have been is the keyword. First off let's talk about the story, without going into too much detail; I must say the story was decent at best. It kept you on the edge at some moments but others it was just sour. The moments that make this game sour are when you are not sniping and you are with an Assault Rifle (AR), it just was poorly done. The sniping portion of the game is phenomenal but here comes the AR parts and it just ruins the whole moment. Don't get me wrong, I like that they go from solo sniper to squad based AR teams, it added to the story and really flows but I will get into more detail about the gameplay next. Besides that the story head together and as far as the ending goes.......it will make you laugh and say "Ok?". Cut scenes were good. Over though the story could have been better but your still going to enjoy it to see what happens.
Now for gameplay, as I said earlier he AR mode of gameplay ruined the game. The problem is they didn't execute the AR gameplay well, it looked as if they stole the gameplay and pasted as theirs. It was nice they added it but again it brings the game down for how poorly it plays. Now let's forget about the AR part and talk about the awesome sniping; they nailed it perfectly. It is so much fun to be 200 yards away and just see a head pop in slow motion. The bullet time scenes are very intense to watch as how your pullet just travels through the awesome environment to reach its target. That being said the way they got wind speed, bullet drop, breathing, and the slow motion really add to the games overall concept; they really mastered it. About the graphics and sound which are simply breathing, it is amazing to see how big the world actually is. I went on a run just to see how far I could go off track and must say you can really get lost lol. I am glad they worked on making a beautiful environment, also the water will have you wanting to throw it in your face; it actually looks like fresh drinkable water and movement in water looks good. Sounds match environment dead on, fire from cans sounds real, your sniping shots are perfecting authentic, and everything just flows. Now for AI and it isn't going to be pretty. The AIs are super human (if you are playing on hard) and will see you no matter how well you hide. I was at least 300 yards away from someone in the bushes and was about to sniper when he turned around and was shooting at me with an AR and nailed me dead on. I mean they should have been the snipers, it was just weird and it didn't just happen once. It was throughout the whole game no matter how well you hide they would someone see you on certain maps. Some maps the cover system worked flawless but most the maps didn't do anything for you no matter how well you tried to hide. That also hurts the game because it took the games fun right out of it. The gameplay overall though (minus AR mode) is very fun and enjoyable.
Now for online, which is going to be short, is awful. I am not going to burn this one to the ground and stomp on it because there really isn't anything there. What I mean is multiplayer really has nothing. Yeah you got you Team Death Match, Free for All, King of the Hill, and others but there is no customization, no flare, no wow factor--it is simply boring. If they added the ability to change camo, gun, sidearm, ANYTHING--I would have given this game a better rating. You have 3 classes to choose from but 4 total types of guns to use (each class gets its own (recon has 2 choices)). If I remember correctly there are only 6 maps total to play which really is that bad but more could have helped with the loss of everything else fun. Maps are big which is a plus, radar is forever there and can be annoying cause it can in fact give your position cause all that person needs to do is scan up and down while facing your dot to get an idea of where you are. Radar in a sniper game should not exist because the point is to hide (Snipe or be Sniped). Finding matches if worse, even as the game was out for a while, online matches were small and usually not very fun. People will leave if nothing happens, which is to be expected if no one moves. They really did not put an effort into the multiplayer experience which brings the value harshly down.
Overall they had a nice concept for a game and as though they didn't ruin the concept, they really didn't do any favors for it either. There was a lot of potential for this game and I wish they would have pulled it off. Again I will say this; you should at least rent this game and give it a try. The single player is very enjoyable.
Score out of 5
Concept/Story: 4*, Ok great game concept-love sniping and they really worked hard figuring in wind speed and bullet drop-but didn't look like they put a lot of effort into the AI, basically they are the all seeing eye and will find you no matter how well you hide.
Graphics: 5*, Outstanding, the really captured the forest really well and love the rain effects. The guns look good, the sniper rifles that is, the assualt rifles (AR) are way to generic (looks stolen from other games).
Sound: 5*, Again they matched the sound with the environment really well. Guns (snipers) sound awesome but again AR generic.
Entertainment Value: 3*, Single player is fun but with the AI super human eye sight the game get stressful. Multiplayer is HORRIBLE!
Control: 4*, Takes a bit of getting use to.
Replay Value: 1*, Once you beat this game, sell it. If you rent it, return it. There is no replay because multiplayer is so small that finding matches (fun ones) are impossible
Thank you for your time, hope this review helps with your decision to buy the game. Take my word or don't take it, but this is a game worth renting, not buyng.
The only thing I fear is that they will not create a follow-up game. I'd love more missions or even downloadable content. Hopefully it sold enough to get the backing to make another and better one.
The bullet flights were great too. When you line up that perfect long shot and you get to follow the bullet along the way to the hit, that is just a satisfying feeling! I've been playing Fallout: New Vegas and noticed once you get a certain perk you get the same kind of thing, good stuff.
