It's Simple, It's Fun

The graphics are a bit dated, but that never stopped me from enjoying a game if I could figure out how to play it! Sniper is basically a microcosm of the way I usually play games anyway: find a high vantage, pick targets, and take out priorities without alerting everyone else. This one adds some little elements to make this a bit deeper of an experience than when I play the sniper in Far Cry, Hitman, or Call of Duty: hiding in foliage, bullet drop, a min-map but no x-ray vision, A.I allies who are also snipers, one specific target to dispatch but also other enemies to throw grenades at or take down with silenced pistols. I liked it! It's clearly budget (some generic sound effects and iffy shadows) but it didn't crash, I didn't find any bugs, and there's an admirable amount of detail and effort here from the lush environments to the scenarios. Even voice acting wasn't bad.

For Me Is Great....

I have no doubt that I'm more of the old man type compared to the rest of you. I have "Some" games that I've had a long time and love them. I came from the Quake, Doom and such like. I play my older C.O.D., MOHAA, Chaser, and Red Faction 1 & 2. The others lost me when they stopped being, what I consider, first person. Anyway I saw this one and gave it a try. I loved it!!!! You actually have to use your brains and do things right. I for one REALLY like this game and now that I've finished the first one I'll move on to the next. I don't know about others but to me the graphics are good and you have real lines as to what your job is. After the first whole game experience I tried doing the normal run around and shoot everything. What I found out is that if you do that you'll get shot quick. Is just my opinion but I think it's a great game to play. My two cents...))) Good luck and good hunting to all.

Certainly worth what I paid

I bought this game on sale and I feel like I got a great deal. The game lacks the polish of the big budget CoD games. It's also a very short game - about 5 or 6 hours to play through it. However, I enjoyed it nonetheless and, considering how little I paid for it, I would say I got my money's worth. The voice acting is pretty good and the map design decent. I liked it enough that I'll probably have a look at the games that followed it in the Sniper series.

A Fun But Aged Budget Title

I remember playing this on my 360 back in the day and having alot of fun with it warts and all, especially after the major update came out. Playing it now a whole slew of flaws make playing it rather awkward, especially after playing it right after Ghost Warrior Contracts. However there is still fun to be had and it's limited production value gives it a janky charm. A real issue would be the apparent lack of multiplayer which I remember my 360 copy having. 3/5 Have some dumb fun

Buy on sale if you like sniper games

I really like Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 better but this first version is worth a play thru on sale, most of game play is fun sniper stuff but when the game switches and forces you to use an assault rifle the fun drops to zero, the accuracy of your gun goes to 0% and the enemies goes to 99% even if they are on the other side of the map. I do like a challenge but I don't know what the dev's where thinking here. I own the whole series and this one falls in the middle.
