An all out sneaking and eliminating game, Sniper Ghost Warrior will see you rethinking the way you play a First Person Shooter both in gaming wise and also how you fight!
First of all, graphics are of decent quality but are nothing to completely shake a stick at. What this game brings in is great quality gameplay and dramatic scenes. Whether stalking your way through the thick jungle shrub or making your way through a heavily guarded prison camp, the game makes you move your way through any area with quiet, stealthy kills, or avoiding a fight by slowly making a trek through the bush.
The game not only has a great gameplay and decent storyline, but also with the dramatic cut scenes and the musical score, also the lack of it too. Usually, as enemies approach, the musical score quietens or finishes completely and wont resume until the enemy has left, been killed or you engage the man openly and reveil your position. This scenes and actions create not only a tension but nerves do kick in, putting you in the moment directly.
The only bad points I was able to find was the multiplayer barely worked (As hardly anyone worked and AI's cannot be in a match for long) but this is only a slight error by the developers. Graphics can tend to glitch at some points and Campaign enemies can take no damage unless killed in the direct way (example: shooting a barrel, killing in a specific order etc) and not only wastes ammunition but also reveils your position, which in some missions, can be an instant fail or a quick death if you do not hide quick, including the AI's amazing eye sight to see you atop a mountain.
For those who favour the sniper rifle in any FPS, Sniper: Ghost Warrior is the game for you. A dear friend of mine is a Sniper Sergeant for the Australian Defence Force and this game gave me a small window into the world he has been in for the past 10 years. Kudos to Microsoft for the fantastic game, but possibly a few more months in the oven would have perfected it.
Out of 10, I gave Sniper: Ghost Warrior an 6.5/10
Good Points: Interesting POV of a military sniper
Gorgeous gameplay
Sneak and stab - brilliant mechanic
Bad Points: AI's are a bit ridiculous
Game does not allow easy kills
Levels do get a bit repetitive
Sad multiplayer issues...
