You can stick to the shadows and pick the opponents off one by one, or shoot a grenade hanging from an enemy's jacket to kill a big group all at once. In these far-too-rare sections, you start to see the magic of being a silent predator. The game's linear straightjacket is made all the more apparent when contrasted with Sniper Ghost Warrior 2's best moments, which come when the game takes off the shackles and lets you take down a load of bad guys in an open area, on your terms. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 also has multiplayer, although it's pretty much an afterthought. Be prepared for some frustrating moments of, 'Why am I back here?' Oh, and the checkpoint system is erratic to say the least. You have to sneak in the shadows, taking people out carefully.īut you cannot use their dropped weapons after killing them, and instead have to follow exactly the proscribed route, or go down in flames. As long as you line that up with a bit of flesh, then you are guaranteed a kill.įor example, a section in Tibet involves you losing your rifle and having to get it back, which would be interesting if it were not for the restrictions.

You have a mini-map radar in the corner of the screen that alerts with a filling red meter and warning noise when you are visible. But it's pretty difficult, and nine times out of ten, you will die. It is possible to fight your way out if you alert the enemy by spooning a shot or bumbling out of cover. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 makes it so that stepping outside the linear path that the game has laid out, pretty much brings instant death.
