Sniper Ghost Warrior is set on the fictitious South American island of Isla Trueno, where a despotic military regime lead by the ruthless General Vasquez has overthrown its democratic government to seize control. As one of a group of covert commandos, the player is charged with infiltrating the rebel stronghold and overthrowing the unelected powerbase. Intelligence reports indicate that Vasquez is due to chair a meeting with his cohorts in an old refinery facility, and a government plant is in place to set up an assassination opportunity for the crack unit. But as the unit arrive on the island, it soon becomes clear that the plan has gone awry, and the team must adapt and use their combat skills if they are to complete the mission.
Realism is at the heart of Sniper Ghost Warrior, and the game enjoys a truly realistic ballistic system that accounts for the distance of a shot, fall-off of the bullet’s trajectory, and environmental factors, such as wind direction. Similarly, the lush jungle environments, allow the user to use the cover of the foliage to take out key targets, while other members of your squad can act as ‘spotters’ to detail the positions of key adversaries. Players must also manage the breathing of their sniper to provide a more accurate shot, while the game’s ‘Bullet Cam’ system offers stunning close-ups as the bullets thud into their unsuspecting targets.

The mission spans 16 stages, starting with the problematic assassination attempt at the refinery, and moving on to oilrigs, a mine, the coast, and a set of ruins as the game’s plot continually surprises. Each level is brought to vivid life with the many rustles of the jungle keeping the player in a constant state of alert, and the sniper elements mixed with incredible firefights, as the enemy break cover and the squad is forced to engage in open combat.

Demo here:

https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1812/Sniper:_Ghost_Warrior_Demo.html

There's already a patch for it, which is supposed to have addressed the main review issues. I'm going to give the demo a go.

And then I try to run the demo, a message comes up: "This version expired".

Uninstalled and they can wedge the game.

The part of the review on Amazon that put me off was something along the lines of.
“I was partially submerged in water, at night, full camo gear on, about half a mile away and the guy spotted me. Then with the power of telepathy alerted the rest of the group i was there”
I love sniping, i seem to be an asset to any team on battlefield but it is a little arcade style i know.
I wanted something with a bit more bite and this looked like it, shame about the bad reviews.

Do not waste your money on this utter shite game .
The only reason i have it is because it was gotten with nefarious methods .

It is completley broken to which no amount of patches will help it .
Allow mw to explain a few faults...

1) Forget hiding and stealth - you have to progress along the given path , you cannot go up into trees , on cliffs etc.. it's all blocked off by invisble walls .

2) The AI , the ai is ludicrous , they can apparently bend bullets - someone may have their back to you and still shoot you in the face from 2000 yards away .
They are rdiculously accurate - even with machine gun fire , they can hit you in the face from miles away .
Literally ! you can be watching someone who is a speck in your zoomed in scope and they will plug you without you knowing.

3) Sniping is at best 50% of the game - the rest is run and gun , and it's shit .

4) If you do happen to be spotted standing on the open road in your ghillie suit , trying to trigger the next part of the mission then don't expect to be able to slip back into the shrubbery.
Again the AI will hunt you down , there is no getting away and it quite often means beginning the mission again .

If your looking for a shooter to play with ranged gunfire on then play Operation Flashpoint .

DO NOT SPEND DECENT HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS FLAWED PIECE OF SHITE WHICH HAS BEEN CRAFTED SOLELY FOR THE CAMPING BASTARDS FROM THE LIKES OF MW2.

That's an exact review of the original version of this game too. Totally unplayable.

Everyone has their own opinion on the game. I didnt encounter any of the problems Makaveli_Rydah or Killa had. As long as you watch the stealth bar no probs.Best thing to do is youtube the game play of a game first .Then try the demo and if you like it, buy or download it.

Try the demo? Fat chance. "This version has expired". If they can't get even the demo to work I hold out no hopes of the full game being worth more than a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

I 'got' it for PC, completed it and agree with all the bad reviews, you have to follow set paths, the AI is annoying and they spot you from ridiculous levels, camouflage hardly ever works..and its not a sniping game, its a poor mans MW2 basically, run and gun is a load of crap.

Completed it then uninstalled

Total cost:

Nothing but time. Laughing

Try 'TUROK' for PC i was well impressed with that.
Alot of games are really underated, i quite liked Damnation as well.
