The premise of this game is glorious, being a sniper elite you attack several enemies, complete whatever mission you are tasked, and leave out undiscovered.
This is far from the reality, with enemies suddenly appearing around you just to complete a scripted event, or even enemies that can see you from nowhere, even when you did no noise and kept hidden all the time.
Discovery reasons appear to be completely random, making this no fun to play, sometimes it doesn't matter how well you hide, they know you are there, some other time you can just stroll past the soldiers and they will ignore you (and yes, i am aware that some of them are supposed to act like that because you are also a disguised spy, but i am talking about targets ignoring you even when they are facing you at 10 meters range)
The controls seem awkward and hard to use, the sound effects are correct.
In short, don't buy this if you spect something akin Commandos or Thief with a different setting, this is more Quake than that.
