Gamepad controls deserve a mention for being easy to use, too. Before, shooting without the interface aid felt like guesswork.
Now you can play on the advanced setting and feel as though you are lining up shots like a real sniping pro. As a result, it's easier to gauge shots on your own without relying on the little red dot showing shot location that's offered in the lower two difficulty settings. In the earlier game, bullet drops were extreme, slight winds significantly affected shots, and your heart rate caused the scope to carom all over the place. Shooting is also much more enjoyable, whether you're using a mouse-and-keyboard setup or a gamepad.
If you get antsy and leave cover, they generally make you pay for it. Enemies sit back and wait you out at times. But if you're in a more vulnerable position, or are taking on a large number of foes, you can expect to be rushed and shot down like a dog. If you've got a good spot on high ground against a small number of enemies, the baddies generally grab cover and snipe back. And then they return fire appropriately or rush your position, which makes firefights feel natural rather than staged. Then they peek out to look for who is shooting at them. First they hunker down so they don't get their heads blown off. Where bad guys tended to run around mindlessly and freeze in place before, now they smartly respond to fire by taking cover. Almost every aspect of the first game has been refined for this sequel. The presentation isn't the only thing that excels in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2. Weapon noises, the shouts of enemy voices, the far-off rattle of weapon fire in war-torn Sarajevo, and various atmospheric sounds like the background hum of the Philippine jungle are all handled extremely well and enhance the tension as you line up each careful shot. Excellent sound effects do a wonderful job of pulling you in. You come to care for Cole and his buddies through this seven- to eight-hour saga of betrayal and revenge that begins today, bounces back to 1993 for a look at the civil war that ravaged the former Yugoslavia, and then jumps to the present to wrap everything up along the border between Nepal and India.Ī well-written, well-acted script give the game a great action-movie vibe, as do authentic-looking visuals and animations powered by the CryEngine 3. You play as Cole, a special-ops sniper helping out assault teams in hot zones ranging from the Philippines to Sarajevo to Nepal. Most of your time with Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 will be spent with the three-part campaign. Now Playing: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 - Video Review
