Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 sees you take on the role of Jonathan North as he is sent to Georgia (the country, not the US state) to sort out some local business. He also has an agenda of his own; there are rumours that his missing brother is in the country too.

I've enjoyed watching many slow-mo kill cam compilations on YouTube from sniper focused games over the last few years, but I've always wondered how one feature could be the sole focus of an entire campaign.

Excellent level & mission design; Challenging choice-based gameplay; Encourages exploration

Generic story; Mid-tier production value

It could have been great.

Concept: Put a stop to an evil government conspiracy by recruiting people to save the world Graphics: Visuals evoke the 16-bit era, right down to the cutscenes.

To be a sniper is to be an individual with immeasurable patience, to be a ghost implies a sense of restlessness, and to be a warrior one must exude great bravery. Often times we expect all of these to be the qualities of the protagonists we inhabit within video-game worlds, but in the case of...

"Doesn't hit all the marks. Redeemed by varied missions and a wide world to explore."

It's awful graphics, muddy textures and poor ai really ruin the fact you cant snipe in a sniper game and sniper elite 4 is so much superior to this game it's unreal this game it like a really bad far cry 3 with less of a story and worse gameplay and stealth avoid this waste of money
