A sequel that seems to have learned almost nothing from the deeply flawed original, and which still only hints at the wider potential for a proper sniper sim.

The team missions are good fun and surprisingly cinematic; The sniping is enjoyable and offers quite the challenge on hard mode; Good music

Rigidly linear game design and technical incompetence, with terrible artificial intelligence and very poor use of CryEngine; Hopelessly clichéd plot and bare bones multiplayer

Loved the Story on this, with all the twists and turn, in ways I see the appeal of this exceeding Sniper Elite series. I also enjoyed the fact it was in multiple environments not just the Jungle like it's predecessor

"Perfect if you love to crouch-run while being yelled at."

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who like being a sniper and those who despise it. Okay, so it might not be quite like that, but for fans who like using such virtual weapons in military games, there isn't exactly a wave of games dedicated to your love of zooming down that scope and...

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a prime example of a developer attempting to cash in on the generic, gun-loving " Call of Duty " market, and if that's what you're into or you're simply looking for a game to kill some time with, you'll probably find some degree of enjoyment here.

+ Good-looking visuals; + Diverse environments; + Clever enemy AI

- Generic and repetitive; - Forgettable and cliche campaign; - Multiplayer is completely unnecessary

Ghost Warrior 2 is a solid if uninspired effort from City Interactive in the FPS genre. In terms of positives it's far more polished than the first Ghost Warrior and the sniping action is just as satisfying as it was before.

Great Game but very quick to finish. I might be better if you pay on-line. I only play these games occasionally, but I finished this game all too quickly. The game play and effects areas good as this first game and all the others based on this type of game, my only criticism is, far too short.

Dave makes Coheed and Cambria references throughout this review, or does he? Click and the answers will be revealed.

+ Looks nice; + Sniping feels good

Broken scripting; Poor presentation; Throwaway multiplayer

Bad games sometimes do get a sequel, as is the case with Sniper: Ghost Warrior. But it is less common that the sequel will actually surpass its predecessor, and in this case become a decent game in its own right.

● Sniping is well done ● Excellent visuals ● Lower price

● Little to no multiplayer; depending on server status ● Short campaign ● Everything besides sniping is hit or miss

Well hello, if it isn't a tale of redemption. Not the actual game itself, you understand; that's a story about an American man with a last name for a first name, armed with a really long-range rifle, knife and silenced pistol, who kills a lot of men from a really long distance as well as...
