There's a level in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 that perfectly sums up what a gargantuan waste of time the whole endeavour is. Well, there are loads of them – pretty much the whole game qualifies in that regard – but this particular stage seemed custom-built to show off the game's worst qualities.

Thankfully it was only $40. I am quite disappointed after all the advertising and everything said it was going to be 3D that it is most definitely not. They didn't keep the same style of gameplay as version 1. I have yet to decide if that's good or bad for this game. I did really like the original.

Nice graphics; I like the way the flow of the game changes at times; You're not always able to take your time and be sneaky and you're not always able to rush through; Cryengine 3!! Watching the curvature dramatization of the in flight bullet is cool...

Most definitely not 3D!! come on cryengine 3 and you still didn't do 3D!? the pictures of the game show it was supposed to be; Every review before it came out said so.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a superior shooter when compared to its predecessor. Granted, that isn't saying much. Said predecessor suffered from terrible artificial intelligence, absurd bullet physics, and an overall level of difficulty on par with solving a Rubik's Cube while navigating white-water...

Great enemy AI presents a real challenge; Mostly realistic stealth mechanics; Well-balanced difficulty settings; Atmospheric presentation ramps up the intensity

Checkpoints are too spread out; Some level design quirks; Multiplayer is an afterthought

My opinion about this game after been playing all the series of battlefield ,call of duty and ghost recon is that ghost sniper give you a different view of what it is the ground combat the game is really realistic because show how is the sniping mode you have to think how to take down each soldier...

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 excels at what you would expect it to: the sniping.  Besides that, the game fails in almost all areas.  It's too short with essentially no replay value, even with a multiplayer. The graphics are hideous and the potential landscapes are a waste.  The idiotic A.I.

Players are reunited with ace-shot Cole Anderson as he battles deep behind enemy lines, picking off any number of terrorist antagonists.

+ Interesting approach + variety of locations

- Poor physics effects - numerous glitches - repetitive gameplay -under utilised engine

At a distance Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 seems like a great idea; a first-person shooter that focuses on the intricacies of sniping built on one of gaming's most sophisticated engines. But once you get up close and personal things quickly start to fall apart.

Headshot heaven; Long-range multiplayer.

Lack of content; Awful textures.

I like it when sequels go in the right direction. I really do. It's encouraging and shows that if the developers just take the next step (or couple of steps), they could produce a must-have game that is highly satisfying for a great many.

Amidst all of the flaws in Sniper 2: Ghost Warrior, it's hard not to enjoy the heavy amount of sniping, but what I'd consider filler between bouts of sniping is what bogs down the eight-hour experience grossly. Vast, detailed landscapes falter in significance at the game's overall lack of ambition.

Realistic; enjoyable sniping; Vast graphical detail

Multiplayer is a joke; Very weak cookie-cutter narrative; Design flaws throughout

"Cole Anderson lay very still, hidden by a rock and a scraggly bush, protected from sight by his training and camouflage. He was tired, hot and with an enemy sentry standing only three metres beyond the rocky outcropping currently being called home.
